Diary for Harry and Judy's RV Trip


AND WE'RE OFF!

2011-04-17

You have probably heard Harry and me talk about how we'd like to RV across the country but there was always a reason (excuse?) why we couldn't.  No more.  Our kids have all been on their own for a long time now and they probably worry about us more than we worry about them, we have no pets since Beasley went to cat heaven, we are both unemployed (thanks, Joe!) and we have wonderful friends and neighbors (you all know who you are) who will watch our home. Gas (or in our case, diesel) is not getting cheaper and we're not getting younger.

So, on Sunday, April 17th we hooked up our 35' fifth wheel RV to our Ford F350 truck with 125,000 miles on it, loaded up our IPOD nano with 1284 songs and 5 books on tape (thanks, John, Lindsay, Martin and Heather) and headed west.  Last fall we did a 4200 mile, 5-week, 9 states trip around the southeast and we plan on going longer and farther this trip.

The only destination we have locked in is a condo resort week-long stay in Sedona, AZ from June 11-18.  We have almost 2 months to get there and after that, who knows?

The "plan" is to go west to San Diego then up the Pacific Coast Highway to Seattle, then wind our way down to Salt Lake City and eventually Sedona and the Grand Canyon, stopping every few hundred miles whenever and wherever.

Please wish us safe and drama-free travels.  We may get to see some of you along the way but if we don't please know we miss you and love you all.
