All free time is being given to building the itinerary for Jutta’s visit to the United States in May. Caroline’s mom should land in Phoenix, Arizona, on May 13th and will have nearly a week to get over jet lag and allergies from coming into this dry state. On May 20th, we will embark on a cross-country trip that will take us to Niagara Falls, Vermont, New Bedford, Mystic Seaport, Statue of Liberty, Central Park in New York City, Lancaster in Pennsylvania to visit the Amish, Washington D.C., Chesapeake Bay, Cape Hatteras, the Smokey Mountains, Natchez Trace Parkway and a few other stops in-between.

More about my mother-in-law’s trip will be posted soon.
