First Stop, Woodstock!


It’s amazing how much time it takes to move from one home to another! It took us until 3:30 pm today to finally leave the driveway. After a precautionary stop to have all the tire pressure checked, we were finally on the highway by 4:30, just in time for a real downpour.
We made another stop in Whitby at Princess Auto. Jim wanted to change the hitch ball to one that was a better fix. By that time it was going on six and since the traffic in Toronto would be bad, we stayed in the parking lot and had some dinner. Forty-five minutes later we sailed through Toronto. We’ve decided to call it quits for the night. We’re at a gas station/truck stop in Woodstock.

We should get an early start tomorrow, and have some more interesting stories tomorrow night. 🙂

On the Road Again


Well, after some set backs, it looks like we will finally be on the road again tomorrow morning. We’ve got everything working again in the motor-home. We’ve got a bike and a trailer to pull it. What more do we need? Oh, campground reservations might be good. 🙂 I’m waiting for Jim to take care of those, but he’s out for a ride tonight. It was just way too hot and sticky for my liking so I’m holed up in the basement with a fan on me. Thank goodness the RV has a/c. It looks like this heat wave isn’t over yet!

Choices


We returned from our maiden voyage geared to make adjustments and improvements to the motor home in preparation for a much longer trip starting in July. We’ve both been pulled towards doing those things, but have had to take care of the jobs of maintaining our permanent home, and attending to doctor’s appointments.  Those appointments have brought on other appointments, for most of which we have to play the waiting game to see when they will be. Jim says we’ll work around them; I say, since none of our ailments are life-threatening, let’s just postpone them for six months or a year until we return. Life is too short to waste time waiting for confirmation that you’re getting old and your bones and joints are wearing out! I’d rather just deal with the pain as it comes.  It seems to come less frequently when we’re out exploring and not worrying about it.
