Thanks for the warm welcome! I grew up in a military home and my husband is with Diplomatic Security. It's our first unaccompanied tour and my already high respect and appreciation for military and family has more than doubled for the sacrifices both make!!
We are excited and nervous about this cross country trip (I'm nervous, he's excited). Great info and tips, and he's also reading these posts from over there and taking notes.
A question - what do you do for drinking water? I've read on other forums that some people double filter (at the connection and on the faucet) and others use bottled water. My reoccurring nightmare is all of us sick to the stomach trying to use the one bathroom.
Thanks for the food recommendations - already trying to plan for that. The food issue is one of the many reasons we decided to get an RV. Eating out every meal is not appealing (three teenage boys, very expensive - a two year old in a restaurant three times a day, nightmare).
Thanks again!
