Most of the RV is packed and the fridge is on.  I've take a lot of stuff out that we've been hauling around for 10 years and never used!  David said he was taking stuff out as fast as I was putting stuff in!  How many colanders do you really need?  Certainly not 2!

We need to pack regular clothes.  So far we have coats and gloves packed.  Learned my lesson the hard way about not taking a coat on a summer vacation.  One year we were in Bar Harbor, ME and it was 47 degrees.  It was 95 degrees at home!  

Not taking any books to read as I'm taking my Kindle.  Just have to remember to pack the power cord to recharge it!  We have games to play - dominoes, Farkle, Uno.  Movies to watch:  The Eagles, Mama Mia, and Signing Time so I can review my American Sign Language.

We have friends and family meeting us along the route.  If you see we're coming close to where you are, please let us know.  We'd love to see you, if possible, and to camp with you, too!

We're planning to leave early on Monday, the 17th.  Not sure my idea of early is the same as David's!

See ya down the road!
