Indiana, St. Paul - Leaving Sunday, June 9, 2013


Today is the official start of our new adventures.  We’ve spent the last two years preparing for this fulltime RV lifestyle.  We’ve finally both retired.  We sold our home and acreage in 2011 and had an auction to sell what belongings we couldn’t take with us.  We’ve gone over all the details of how we will get our mail, how we will pay our bills, how we will get our prescriptions refilled.  I do have to admit that today’s technology makes that easier than it would have been several years ago.  We’ve said goodbye for a while to our family and friends, making sure they all have information on how to access us.  And lastly, we lived through two Indiana winters in the RV waiting for this day to arrive and we still like each other.

Everything has been secured or packed for travel.  Loading of the bike is the last thing on the list. 


Today is a beautiful day for traveling.  We are headed to Syracuse, NY for the Good Sam RV rally which starts on Thursday.  We evidently did a good job of getting everything ready for travel because it is all staying put and the bike is riding along nicely.

When we get to Syracuse we will have electric hook ups.  But until then we are functioning as a self-contained unit.  We’ll be stopping at places that have overnight parking available.  Tonight it looks like the Love’s Truck Stop in Lodi, OH.  Actually it isn’t too bad tucked in between a couple of big rigs for the evening.  Since both of our career backgrounds are in the trucking or trucking related industry we kind of feel right at home.
