Who else is into final countdown mode. The great weather this weekend must have the travel itch going for many.

It has been over 5 months since we have even SEEN our truck & trailer. The 12 hour commute to go & get it starts early monday morning with a plane ride to NY, sit & wait 5 hours in JFK then a short hop to Baltimore followed by a land shuttle to the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay.

We get there too late to get it out of storage & off to a CG but we will connect the battery, get that recharging after a winter of no attention, turn the fridge on & open the windows to get started on getting the smell of mothballs out of it. Hotel for the night. YUCK!

Next day it is back to trailer, get it out of storage, head straight to a CG, park it & head to a nearby market to load up on virtually everything.

We just got back from our weekend "shakedown cruise". Everything worked and we just took it easy for the remainder of the weekend. I hope it works out that well when we head to Memphis next month.
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "...Holy Cow....what a ride!"

Hi VeeBees... We went out for a couple of days last week to Belfair state park on Hood Canal and had a great time. Heading for Port Townsend and Point Hudson Marina and Rv Park on the 21st. Got our reservations made for at least two multi day trips in June,July and August,so it looks as if it's gonna be a great summer. One fun trip in June is to Prosser,Wa for some wine tasting,actually more like a lot, and their Scottish Highland Games.
Got a case of Gosling's Ginger Beer and my Black Seal Rum and so I'm set for making my Dark and Stormy's.:B:B Where do you find the 100 proof Black Seal like you had at the rally at Longview?:B


Hey there Bird Dog. The only place I have found the high octane Black Seal is in airport duty free shops. Even retail here is the same as everywhere else. The Goslings Ginger Beer has sort of taken over. Barritts GB is easy to get here. Packing a case of that today & get a couple bottles of the high octane Black Seal tomorrow.

DW & I are like a couple kids on Christmas Eve today. Can't wait to get off The Rock even if the first week or so will be preparation maintenance before wheels really get rolling.

Making my final camping menu this weekend so I can 'live' the feeling.
You're in luck; good travelling weather into JFK forecasted for Monday; won't even need a coat but a sweater would be useful.

Have fun!

Money can't buy happiness but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a

Porsche or Country Coach!



If there's a WILL, I want to be in it!



I havn't been everywhere, but it's on my list.

Yeah, itchy feet all right. Usually get the TT out at least once in late fall or winter, but this year the only action it's seen has ben as a guest room for the DD and SIL at christmas, and _I_ didn't getta use it. Almost went this weekend, but the garden planting is behind 'cause it has been too wet to till, so we've ben catching up this weekend.
