5/26/14 - Since my last communication, we got to my niece place in Auburn, Nebraska at about 4:30pm.  There we finally were able to set up with some water and electricity so that was great.  We got all our electronics charged up for the next day.  We had a cook out.  On 5/24/14, we left Katie's house at 9:15am and got to the Kansas City Airport at 12:00pm.  The first flight out was a 1:29pm so both couples had plenty of time.  I then drove back to Liberty, Missouri to my first cousin's house for the afternoon and plans were to leave today and drive to St. Louis.  Well, early Sunday morning, I started vomiting and diarrhea.  I am not sure what it was because I did not eat anything different then anyone else and I was the only one sick.  It last until noon on Sunday but I was in bed until around 4:00pm before I got up took a shower and sat outside for some fresh air.  I did drink a little Sprite but just did not feel well.  I went back to bed at 9:00pm and then slept off and on until after 9:00am.  Finally got up, took a shower, packed my things and had a cup of hot tea.  I was trying to decide if I wanted to even travel.  I was still experiencing some diarrhea but no vomiting.   I decided even if I did not get very far, I would start out.  I left Liberty about 12:30pm.

Within a hour I started to get a little rain but nothing too bad.  I stopped for gas and since I could not get the nozzle to stay, it took a look time to fill up.  Then my hands were so dirty, I went to the bathroom to wash up before paying.  Paid the bill and got to the RV before I realized I had left the key in the bathroom!!  Back to fetch it and then finally off again.  I had two bites of banana and some ice tea but is not settling well so plan to have a piece of toast tonight for dinner.  After while, the wind kicked up and then it started to rain.  I got into a thunderstorm and pouring rain so pulled off in a truck stop and waited it out.  It was about 45 minutes.  It traveling was not going to fast and the traffic was picking up because of Memorial Day, I decided to stop before St. Louis.  I only got to Warrenton but it was already a little after 6:00pm. It is not warm here but rather humid so I have all the windows open for right now but plan to close them soon.  I plan to go to bed rather early again tonight and maybe will get an earlier start tomorrow.  Time will tell
