The Excitement Builds!

Going to get the 5er from storage lot today. Got a few things on the honey do list to complete first, then we start packing. Leaving Sat. morning can't hardly wait! Just me, my Honey and the two dogs. Do any of you get excited before a trip like when you where a kid? Wife says I am worse than the kids were... LOL
  • I'm usually up way before her just going over everything, even wiping down the truck. I can't wait to hit the road. It's a great feeling, knowing you're heading off to some destination and no matter how long the drive is, I'm always ready to go first thing. Of course, I've also had to wait outside the gate for check-in in the past here and there...

    It has been 3 weeks since our June outing, 3 more weeks until our July trip. This 6 weeks is seeming very long. Good news after that, only 2 weeks after that and we will leave on our August trip!

    Christmas only comes once a year, camping trips are happening 12 to 14 times a year! 33 nights in the trailer in the last 11 months. It is why I continue to work, only way I can afford my addiction while not starting to burn my retirement savings.

    Our goal is to be out at least once a month if not more often, to only use our 5er once or twice a year would be a waste.
    There is no packing, 5er is loaded all the time, staple food in well sealed containers, cloths for a week, propane always filled after last trip. Just grab perishable food and go!

  • I always have trouble sleeping the night before a big trip. Just like Christmas Eve.
  • We are leaving for one of our trips this morning.

    I didn't get to sleep until at least 3AM last night thinking about it.

    kind of like my Christmas morning.

    Happens every time

    As the kids , makes for a lot of fun !!
