We have arrived at Stratton, Vermont. We are staying in a nice 4 bedroom house with our buds the Malericks who have two boys age 12 and 14. The 10 hour drive was made much better by our caravan with painted window messages on the cars declaring our destination. We even left on time at 5 a.m. per Mr. Malerick's instructions. One small problem is the water is not currently working at our rental home. The owner is feverishly working on a solution, meanwhile we are going skiing. More later.
