Here we go ... on the road again!
Our Coyote is all comfy with our pillows and throws, blankies and comfort food in the cabinets and fridge. Coyote is peeking through the window to make sure we forget nothing (Hah - I'm sure we've forgotten something.) The coyote sticker and the comfy bags and the pillows are all gifts from our daughters.
When choosing what to bring with us, I find that that we do not need about 75% of our stuff. It is getting clearer to me how some adventurous people can actually live in a Roadtrek full-time.
It's really now ... we are really leaving! We've found a movable place to hang our hat and we have each other. There is nothing else we need.
It is interesting that all the omens and signs point to this being exactly what we should be doing. I have a list of states and provinces so we could check off when we see a license plate. The first two cars we saw each had Alaska plates... only 3 miles from home! Now that's awesome.
And... today this came in our email from two good friends... a good laugh to send us off our our 10,000 mile, three month trip.
While on a road trip, an elderly
couple, Stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch.
After finishing their meal, they
left the restaurant, and resumed their trip.
When leaving, the elderly
woman unknowingly left her glasses on the table, and she didn't miss them
until they had been driving for about forty minutes.
By then, to add to the
aggravation, they had to travel quite a distance before they could
find a place to turn around, in order to return to the restaurant to
retrieve her glasses.
All the way back, the elderly husband became
the classic grouchy old man. He fussed and complained, and scolded his wife
relentlessly during the entire return drive.
The more he chided her, the more
agitated he became.
He just would not let up for a single minute.
To her relief, they finally arrived at
the restaurant. As the woman got out of the car, and hurried inside to
retrieve her glasses, the old geezer yelled to her,
While you're in there, you might as well get my hat and the credit
card.
