2 days…

Posted on Monday February 18th, 2013 by | Comments Off on 2 days…

We spent the first part of today running from storage unit to storage unit, took more stuff to Ackbar and finally started the cleaning.

Ugh…

We have been cleaning since 2pm and it is now 9:35pm. As soon as the dryer is done I can bring both the washer and dryer downstairs for tomorrows pick up via Habitat for Humanity.

Tomorrow consist of more running to storage units as well as multiple runs to Ackbar, and the final sweeping of carpets.

And hopefully before 6pm we have finished taking everything but the cats, bedding, food, booze, smoke and some clothes to Ackbar as we spend our final night in a empty house.

Tired. Sore. Congested.

We just finished tearing down the master bedroom, and everything that was still upstairs, is now downstairs. We get the moving truck tomorrow, I expect 1-2 trips to the storage unit, and with luck we will be done in time for lunch.

Things are really starting to get real here…

Just discovered a “great idea” may not work after all. We wanted to put a magnetic strip all around the slide out edge so we can use our refrigerator magnets as decoration of our travels.

We bought a 50′ x 4″ roll of stripping and just tested some magnets and none “stuck” much at all. As in, if we hit any bump, we would have to pick up 100+ magnets… We are contacting the supplier asking them what they suggest we can do.

Not cool at all.

Since this blog is pretty much about the travels of Pauline and I since 1993, we wanted to add, over the course of time, pictures and videos of our early expeditions. This will not be accomplished by any logical order, whatever gallery is ready will be posted by the dates it occurred on, or at least as close to the original dates as we can remember.

where the hell have we been and where the hell should we go?

where the hell have we been and where the hell should we go?

 

 

 

From our 2.5+ years of reading countless travel blogs, it would appear that the majority of those out there only count states they visited in a RV only.

We do not agree with this line of thought.

We have been together since October 1993 and in that time we have done a lot of traveling together. But we also have done a lot of traveling solo before and during our relationship, so we decided to count the states we have visited TOGETHER.

We have traveled by planes, trains, and automobiles as well as ships and boats and ferries and bikes and even a rented RV 3 week nightmare cross country from FL to OR. (We will address this journey at some point, not all bad, but for sure a huge learning experience.)

This RV is just another method of travel. While Ackbar will now be a huge part of our lives, our life of traveling did not begin when we bought him. Of course we both have been to more states and even the same states, just not together.

I need to find a Canadian and Mexico one as I keep telling myself over and over and yet, I still have not done so.
