Travel day...


We have a lot of miles to go to get to Phoenix.  Our plan for the day was to try to get to El Paso, meaning a 600 mile day.  Not an easy goal in the best of circumstances, but today Mother Nature threw 25 mph headwinds at us all day long.  And, after a good day yesterday, Izzy had a tough day today.

We have an appointment with the animal hospital in Goodyear (Phoenix).  Izzy normally travels well - it has been a part of her life, just like with us.  She laid in the window for a short time today...


The sun coming in that window was a concern, as she has been running a fever.  Joan took her back to lay on the bed.

The drive across west Texas is long by any standards.  Double towing, ugly wind, hills, rough roads, and a critically ill kitty left me drained.  We got off the road, still in west Texas, but not to El Paso.  This will still be our longest day this trip.  It will be another long day tomorrow, but the wind is supposed to be less.

Sorry to hear of Izzy's health troubles. Lots of good thoughts for her, as well as for you and Joan.
