The Trip Begins August 31, 2012

We left our driveway at 9:15 this morning after going through multiple checklists and last minute additions.  Think about being away from your home for over four months and trying not to let it overwhelm you.  I have a new appreciation for what Snow Birds go through just to invade the South each year.  They must really want to be here because it ain’t easy!

By 4 pm we were pulling into our designed camp site and analyzing the various connections that needed to be made.  I have to say that after our Alabama experience on August 13th, I found myself holding my breath while waiting to see what this RV Park would look like even though we are only staying one night.  We are staying in St George, South Carolina tonight and making our way to Linwood, North Carolina (near Lexington) and stay over Labor Day.  We have some church friends up there we can worship with on Sunday and just stay off the road for the holiday.  This park meets my minimum requirement of gravel or concrete pad, water, sewer and grass mowed within the past week.

Jim is outside now washing love bugs off the front of the RV and truck.  It never occurred to me they were this far north.  This will be a quiet night and leisurely drive to North Carolina tomorrow.

  2. So what you are saying, you are a sand bird heading north. Have a good time and keep us posted. Gary

    Since Joe and I are snowbirds leaving our northern nest for well over 3 months for Florida in January, I do understand your anxiety about remembering to leave everything in perfect order. It sometimes doesn’t happen the way you planned, but it all works outs out in the end. Have fun as I will reading your blog and looking forward to seeing both of you in a few days. Louise

  4. Yeah!!! And they’re off!! Can’t wait to hear about all your adventures!! Have fun! We love you!
