This morning when I got up it was cool and clear, so I know that its going to be a nice drive today. I went and had a lite breakfast, so as not to feel sluggish. As I point my Highlander east on Hwy 3 heading towards Medicine Hat, I am quickly reminded of the best friend I have left behind at home. The radio is playing a song .."Cinnamon Girl"! This reminds me of a trip to Hawaii my wife and I took in 1999. That is where I gave her that nickname, It was a great trip and it was the right tune to start me on my way on this trip. My head is full of good memories that come rushing back like falling into her arms once more, that embrace is like no other. I get the truck up to speed as I then settle in for a nice morning drive, with a smile on my face thin
king of her. The time passes quickly like the white lines dotted on the highway. I soon come in to Medicine Hat and into a detour due to a accident. As we are being rerouted I fall into line behind a local. I follow him. He decides to take an shortcut, so I follow. In my review mirrors I see the traffic continuing down the street, as I take a dirt lane behind the local, I am thinking to myself "am I going the right way". I am glad I did , before to long we are back on the street without any traffic around. I am so SMRT! I soon find myself on to Hwy 1 eastbound, towards Swift Current SK. Again the road folds out before me like a ribbon from God. I eat up the road like an machine, wanting, needing to feed a hunger that has become out of control. I soon come into Swift Current. I need fuel and a coffee. I stop at a Sevie and get it to go. I also stop and pick up something for the road. I swing back onto the Trans Canada, and again head east towards the capital city, Regina. The day, as I had predicted was clear with light soft clouds and bright sunshine. The traffic is somewhat lighter than I had expected. The truck traffic was steady, but the car traffic seemed light. Mind you I did not know what it should be anyways. I get my room in Regina early enough to do a little shopping for dinner. I get what I need and head back to the room and settle in for a night of hockey and microwave lasagna and Sunny D. I also get the opportunity to have a video call with my wife. I then get onto my blog to update my day. I am now going to leave you now, so I'll see you down the road. Have a great evening.

I am so jealous of the driving! I really wanted to do the cross country drive this summer...but with work and all...not enough time. I hate flying! Driving is so much more fun! Take me with you!
