Back in Dayton Ohio

The Brickyard, Indianapolis - Final Day Travel

How do you end nearly 2 months of RV travel?  For Dirk it was a visit to the Indianapolis Speedway Race Track.  Every little boys dream is to ride round the track where the Indy 500 is raced, well for this "little boy" it came true.  A visit to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum was also included.  So once again, he owes me some shopping time, it's all tallying up, Dayton Mall, here I come.

It is hard to believe that 8 weeks ago we set off from Dayton, Ohio on our Adventure of a Lifetime and now nearly 6000 miles and 8 weeks later we are going to sleep in our RV bed for the last time tonight, at a KOA on the outskirts of Dayton.  Having stayed at many RV parks in this time, it is really nice to be ending our travels at a KOA park in the Dayton area, which we think takes top prize for the best park of them all.

As I write this update, we are waiting out a thunderstorm and hoping that we will be able to have our last BBQ while in our RV.  This is the first time we have had rain during our waking hours, so you see, we have been very lucky with the weather.

Tomorrow, we clean our RV and then head to Henry and Faye, for the last few weeks of our vacation.  I don't know how many updates there will be from now on, as I will be out using up my accumulated shopping time.

Until we speak again, we wish you all well.

Crawfordsville, Indiana

We did a long trip today, well, long in our traveling history, but we have now broken the back of the last leg of our trip.  We are now in Indiana, and back to 6 hours difference with South Africa.  We can't believe our travels are nearly over, but still enjoying the last few days.
