16 Days til departure.....
The preparation begins......Take Roadhouse, II to Lazydays tomorrow (Mon.) for final repairs/add-ons....
Replace bedroom shade; fix bathroom ceiling vent (the kind that opens by a wall switch and turns itself on...then, if it rains, it shuts itself off & closes automatically. Ours isn't....also, a few other minor things. Hope all is done this week and RV back to us for loading.
At home, begins the pack stuff away here; arrange lawn care; begin choosing clothes for hot/mild/cool places; planning food (what to get rid of here, and what to take.); plan routes for 1st two legs of trip, and make reservations. Most nights when rolling we find a pilot or Flying J where we both get a diesel discount, and they have places to stay the night free. Only need sewer, etc. about every 3rd night....
Forwarding mail, cutting off paper, have neighbor alerted to watch place (we trade off).
Departure is gonna be tricky. Day of leaving I see doc at 11am, plus have a blood test done. Then at 12:45 Duchess sees doc and drives back home where I have cats in coach really, it only seems there are this many instead of our 3!), and "Brutus" our Jeep we pull behind is hooked on and lights tested.....
Hit the road for a 1st night stay at Flying J in Quincy, FL......then two days later, in early afternoon we hit Dickinson, TX, at Bay Colony Resort for a 7 day stay.
Busy times, but excitement at our impending departure grows daily!
