A little early for Viking happy hour :B

Corrected my math :?

We are not leaving until end of November but I'm feeling the pressure. I'm afraid that I won't get everything done. Need a list. Does anyone have a list?

You might also want to sign up to get text/email notifications of when a purchase is made on your card(s). That way you'll know if someone stole your identity. You can also type in the states you'll be visiting so they'll know it's probably you using the card. Discover lets you "freeze" the card until you "find" the card so no surprise charges can be made.

I generally just call the ccard folks and tell them the states and possibly towns/cities I'll be traveling thru. Then when I get the opinion card email asking how their CSR handled my question I can give the CSR a pat-on-the-back-and-an-attaboy.

Do you have a destination AZ, TX CA or FL or all 4. You are leaving early so take your time & follow the weather or fall colors.

As they say "don't sweat the small stuff, and everything is small."

With the advent of cell phones, GPS's, and the internet you can do just about anything on the road now.

That first year when I couldn't fill up the MH with my "canceled" Visa card, all I did was call the 800 number on the back of it. I was good to go in under 5 minutes.

I do admit I did have that "deer in headlights" look for the first few minute when the pump said "rejected."

The first year is always the hardest like Pawatt said "enjoy." A trick we do is just go 40 miles for our first night stay, then we spend two nights there.

Allows us to take our time closing up shop, then if we do forget something we can easily drive back and take care of it. So far every season (but the last one) we've had to drive back for something. :S

Also call the credit card places and tell them you'll be snowbirding. That first year they'll cancel your card when they see all the new strange activity on it.

YES, this very important. Do this before you hit that first fuel stop and your card goes tilt.

Only 8* above freezing this morning. I want to get out of here before I have to dodge snowstorms

Just relax & enjoy, If you get on the road a few days late so what. Once on the road enjoy the trip, drive short days. if you find a place you like stay a few days or a week or longer & explore. The journey can be as good or better than the destination.
