Sorry I’ve been out of touch for a while. We wrapped up our last show in Crowley, Louisiana at the Grand Opera House of the South. We had a fantastic, sold out audience – the perfect way to end that leg of the tour. We drove to Houston the following morning, parked the truck, and everyone flew home to Virginia for almost two weeks. It was great being home but it goes so quickly when there is so much to do!
Alan and I flew back to Houston on Sunday to drive the truck to California – across Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and up the California coast to Carmel. A “winter storm” moved into Virginia over night causing our regional airport to cancel all the flights. Thankfully, a US Air employee who knew we were on the flight made arrangements for us to get to Roanoke, fly to Philadelphia, and connect with a flight to Houston. We arrived about 7 hours later than expected which means we also lost a day of driving.
We hit the ground running when we landed in Houston and drove to Seguin, TX to spend the night. Next morning we were up early and put another 700 miles behind us from Seguin, TX to Deming, NM. We left Deming this morning and have finally crossed the California border to spend the night in Indio, CA. Tomorrow is our last day of driving and we’ll make Carmel by 4pm (hopefully).
We’ve got a great run of shows here on the West Coast. I’ll definitely be blogging along the way.
