Transvestia

a woman? How would my wigs look? I have two fairly good ones, but they are still wigs. One fortunate thing was that Jean enjoyed taking care of my wigs and that certainly would be a great help. I might mention at this point that I have a truck with a small camper on the back and a thirty foot trailer, so this would help make the trip more enjoyable, in fact, it's a perfect way for a girl to travel. A thirty foot trailer is rather large, so you can im- agine how much of my wardrobe I took along!

We had to work like crazy to get everything packed and the trailer ready to leave. We planned to leave early Saturday morning, about 6 A.M. be- cause I knew that my children would still be in bed and also, I would be able to drive through our local town before many people were about.

I got up about 5 A.M. and put on my traveling outfit. I wore my new, green knit suit, black heels, and my brunette wig. Also, I wore my white trench coat, black leather gloves, and a white kerchief. I kissed my wife good-bye and she smiled at me and said to have a good time, not to worry and to be a good girl. I went out to the truck to wait for John and Jean. We finally got away about 7 A.M. John had never driven the truck with the trailer on it so nat- urally I had to start driving and show him how to handle the rig. This meant going through town, in daylight and believe me, you can't miss seeing my truck and the thirty foot trailer. I said, if any- one looked at me, I'd smile and just wave back. I wasn't about to change my attire! Luck was with us and no one that I knew, saw me. The first hundred miles was rather poor, with a lot of wind and many patches of ice. I really didn't mind though, I felt so wonderful. No one to bother me, two understand- ing friends with me, and not worrying lest the child- ren might come busting into the room when I least expected them. I knew how very much I was going to enjoy this wonderful trip.

I might mention that John had never seen me
