Thursday May 13, 2010 - St. Louis, Missouri to Oconomowoc, Wisconsin

We drove about seven hours north to this community just outside of Waukesha, Wisconsin - which is in turn a suburb of Milwaukee. We had a little rain on the drive, but otherwise it was uneventful. It was only later that we learned of severe weather in St. Louis and Chicago. Fortunately, we missed all of those problems. We took I-39 North out of Bloomington, IL rather than continue on the 55N to Chicago. No traffic problems, and thankfully no weather issues.

We'll be here for a week, and are getting to be very adept at quickly settling in and getting geared up to make a 'home' wherever it is that we're staying. The place is nice - probably the roomiest of the condos that we've stayed in to date. With not much on the schedule for the next week, it should be a good time of preparing for an accelerating travel schedule for the next couple of months.
