I have already made a change in destination plans and after New Jersey I will head to Corning, New York where I have always wanted to see the 'glassworks'. Then, I will head back south. I was thinking of doing Corning at the beginning of my summer trip, but if I do it now, and it makes sense to do it while I'm in that part of the country anyway, I will take my other route in the summer through the southern states rather than the eastern side of the country. Both possible routes take me to Yellowstone and beyond to the west coast.
I keep re-arranging the mini-van to make it as 'user friendly' as possible for taking all the things I might need for the cats and myself. I put them all into the cages (have two back to back large cages for them with a litter box inside) to see how they would 'fit' and I think they will travel very comfortably. The hard part for me will be getting them in and out (into and out of hotel/motel rooms) but it will be good 'exercise'. I'll be using carriers and will have to get into the van, shut the door and put each animal in it's own box before I can re-open the doors and move them all (on a small flatbed cart). I can envision trying to get them into the carriers when we are leaving a room-Goldie is not the easiest to catch and last time we went to a hotel, Shadow got herself up into the box springs and it took an hour to get to her.
The trips will be an adventure and that's the exciting part.
