Those 70ish Girls

We are so mentally ready to head out on a motorhome trip. We have been planning this trip for months. The only problem is that we didn’t have the commitment we needed from third parties, otherwise known as repairmen. We have had a problem with a module that needed to be replaced on the motorhome. it is the apparatus that does little things like tell us how fast we’re going and how much gas we have. it’s pretty important that it work. My husband, Kip tried to take the pressure off the repairman by simply removing the old module and ordering a new one to plug back in, only to find out you can’t just plug it back in, you have to have the repairman, reprogram it. The only problem is that the dealership that we had the motorhome at doesn’t do that type of work. We had to take our motorhome to another dealership that has the right equipment and the right repairman to do it. We took the RV there yesterday and as soon as they do their own diagnosis of the problem, they will be more that happy to fix it provided they can find the correct part which we have already found at the repair shop that doesn’t do the work.

Lest you think we are letting the fact that we have spent 4 weeks getting this far upset us, think again. We are way beyond that. We are in total acceptance. which translates to hope. We hope that there is nothing else that can interfere with our plans because we still have an amazing trip organized. We are going to spend time in Nebraska, because it’s one of the few states we haven’t been in. We’ll revisit New York, Washington, DC, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Vermont, New Hampshire, and even Florida. We haven’t rv’d in Florida. Maybe we’ll make it there before snow flies in some of the other states. I don’t necessarily have them in the correct order. That’s what happens when you RV by the seat of your pants. We took a trip similar to this 5 years ago except as I said, we didn’t go to Florida. We had beautiful fall weather. We saw some amazing leaves, and some quaint little towns, which we love to visit. It’s our favorite thing to do. To find cute little villages with fun eating places and fun things to do and see.

It will be just Kip and I and our little dog, Rylie. He’s our sweetie. This is the first time in our 10 years of RVing that we haven’t traveled with 2 dogs. We had to have our other dog put to sleep a couple of months ago and we are still missing her. We have made the tough decision to keep it to just one dog. It will be sader on the occasions were he will have to stay alone for a few hours, but it will still be easier to have just one puppy pooch on such a long road trip.

Well, keep us in your thoughts and we’ll keep you posted. We’ve got a feeling that fun times are just around the corner.
