Road trip equals knitting not sewing

My quilting is on hold for a couple of weeks while we travel cross-country and 9 states, each way!  We live in central Pennsylvania, our younger son is graduating on Saturday in New Mexico, and I flew out to Chicago for work yesterday (Monday).  My husband leaves from home, driving, tonight to pick me up tomorrow afternoon and then we hightail it in a southwesterly direction until sunset and beyond.  The idea is to take some vacation time after the graduation before schlepping all the way back to PA again.

I don't do much hand sewing, but I do knit and have one pair of socks that just need afterthought heels putting in and another pair of socks where the second needs to be knitted to the closing of the toe and then they too (two?) also will need the heels doing.  If I get all that done while we travel I have more sock yarn in my suitcase to be able to start in on something else.

Here is the pair that only need heels:

Apparently they have been in this state since 12th Jan this year (2021) so finishing them is my One Monthly Goal for May.

I shall add a picture of the other socks when I am not stuck in a laboratory :)
