Day Four

We decided to end our stay in Dallas early to get a head start on our next destination: Santa Fe, NM. We are on Rt 40 West right now and have about eight hours ahead of us and, for one of the rare times on this trip, Tarona and I will be donating time to take care of ourselves by stopping off at a spa for facials and massages because if we don't spend some time rejuvenating ourselves, we won't be any good to anyone else. (Plus, we're feeling a little scrappy.)

On a separate note, I wanted to send an enormous thank you to all of my former co-workers (and, blessedly, still current friends) at Simon & Schuster in NYC for donating such a wonderful and wide variety of books for us to leave behind on our visits. After seeing how appreciative the recipients have been, Tarona and I are hoping to further our partnership with Simon & Schuster as we would love to continue to encourage people to read and be inspired by books such as the ones we've been handing out.

Still having a glorious time, even though gas is $3.56/gallon in Texas.

Hi Dina & Tarona,

It is still early enough for me to wish all the best on your boomerang trip around the country - all though at this point you probably feel like you have been on the road for a while.....

What a great concept and initiative!

I will be following your progress :D (...or "all y'alls progress" as they would say in my former home New Orleans).

Have a safe drive and happy adventuring.
