The waiting is getting harder. We are cranky and short with each other. We do a little each day to prepare for the "Day of Departure" We decided to keep our big bikes for long rides and bought folding bikes for rides around campgrounds and exploring the small towns we visit .
I am making a list of belongings that I can sell (push off) at the rummage sale at the end of the month.
We drove to San Marcos to visit Camping World and purchased a bike rack to attach to the ladder on the back of the Moho. We will put the baby bikes in the back of the Ford Escape, which will be towed behind the motor home. We are worried about the amount of stuff we can't live without. His tools, including a chop saw! Our Karaoke equipment and which includes 2 large speakers and a monitor. We plan to entertain ourselves and others and pick up a little extra cash along the way.
It is hard to plan just what our expenses will be each month. the cost of fuel will take the place of cost of our apartment, depending on how far we drive, each month. Food will be the same as will our "adult beverages" after a long day of sight seeing. It is scary to think too deeply into this plan as we will address each obstacle as it shows itself. We went to Triple A and came home with books, maps and apprehension about what we are about to do. We reassure each other everyday that this is what we both have wanted a long time, separately.
I gotta go and look at maps again. We were going to head toward the Northwest, but have changed back to our original plan to head to our first stop, Las Vegas, although neither of us are gambling people. Maybe we will marry there. Maybe not.
