Murph’s Magical Mystery Tour

“All over, all over – as all stories eventually are!”

The Fir Tree by Hans Christian Andersen

Just look at this collection of hieroglyphics –
or as Murph calls them, his “notes”. And thank goodness he has all those notes. As most of you know, the planning for these trips are ALL MURPH – thus the “magical mystery” reference. Honestly, I pretty much have to pack and show up — so it’s pretty much a mystery to me! And if you’re following us, you know it’s been magical!
He sat at his desk, in the living room, on the deck and at the kitchen table – booking 20 different hotels for 38 days in Denmark, England and France. He arranged 3 different cars for us along with canoes, bikes and trains. While I drove – he navigated, navigated and navigated.
“We wander to collect stories and memories that will keep us warm when we are old.” – Unknown
“Actually, the best gift you could have given her was a lifetime of adventures.” – Lewis Carrol
This was a strange “tradition” in Rocamadour but we HAD to do it!
“ To get the full value of joy, you must have someone to divide it with.” Mark Twain
And occasionally I have “melt downs” when pushed to my limit. So this guy has to talk me off the ledge and bolster me up again.
Remember Butter Beer? I’m not the only one who enjoyed it!
“Because the greatest part of a road trip isn’t arriving at your destination. It’s all the wild stuff that happens along the way.” Emma Chase
“If traveling were free, we’d be gone forever.” – unknown

“No story lives unless someone wants to listen. – JK Rowling
