Almost....

It's Christmas eve and the anticipation level is very high. I plan to hit the road around noon tomorrow to begin, or really continue, this journey. It began with the idea, now the action!
Church was warm and comforting tonight. The music was very peaceful and sweet. The candles gave us a light to carry through the year. And it was good to see Alan and his family as well as other friends.
Tomorrow I'll drive to Santee, SC and spend the night, then on to Port Canaveral the next day. Hope to be set up before dark and be in shorts and sandals down by the beach shortly thereafter.
This is the most happiness I've felt in a long time and I like it! More to come, I hope...

Anticipation

Last Saturday I sent an e-mail to friends & family telling of my pending departure on December 26. My family cruise leaves for the Bahamas on Dec. 27 returning on the 31st. It will be me, my kids, their spouses and all the grandkids. Wow! I get to be with them for 4 days! It'll be great fun and very interesting, to say the least. All the preparations are going well: the Chevy's in good shape, the scooter is craving warm weather and my home on wheels is ready to roll.

The holidays have brought some sadness as I still miss LaVerne. I keep reminding my self that she's not suffering any more. It helps, yet I still miss her.

Back to the preparations.

Getting ready

With only 2 months until the first big trip begins, excitement is building and so are the details! I'll check off one, add two; check off two, add three. Still, it's nice to have the list to do. The travel trailer is returning to the dealership this week to fix a couple of leaks, add a new accessory, have the tv bracket installed and pick up several items to make life on the road a little easier.

Still hope to sell the little scooter before I leave, but this isn't the best time of year for that. Maybe someone will buy it for a Christmas present.
