'19/#5 One Shake Of The Jello


We were supposed to be on the road today but like I say, our plans are written in jello. Nothing major. Just a problem with our TV receiver. It is being replaced but we have to be somewhere that it can be shipped to us. Tomorrow we will be on the road with a side trip to Livingston Texas. That is where we can pick up the receiver. We will also be there for a couple of days. That will change the itinerary that we had planned. The two most important tools in an RVer's kit are a sense of humor and the ability to adapt. Living on the road is always an adventure.

Back to our original plans. The truck is serviced and washed, the trailer is road ready again, and has been washed and waxed. Inside we have put most of our stuff away in travel mode and a weeks worth of meals have been pre-cooked to make things easier on the road. Not only won't we have to cook but we also won't be filling up our kitchen waste water holding tank or emptying our fresh water tank so fast. That will require less hooking up and disconnecting hoses while on the road and allow us to enjoy more of our travels.

There are a few places we want to stop at along the way. Being a tourist and exploring the country is what RVing is all about. Because of the recent jello shake we will be crossing Carlsbad Caverns off the list this time. This is two years in a row we haven't made it there. Maybe on the way back or next year? We will be taking 2-3 weeks to and go through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, and finally California where we will be staying for the summer.

We will keep everyone up to date on our travels and adventures as the calender marches on. Well it looks like or laundry is just about done. This is the last load before we depart from our home in Pharr Texas because......

Home is where we park it,
Frank and Mary

  2. I had thought today was "Travel Day" #1. Had looked at Mary's FB page to see Truck and Rig all hitched up and ready to roll. Glad you two caught the issue before leaving. Enjoy your travels along the way.
