It's all about planing and preparation

If someone can drive me crazy with planing - well, it's me. I am a planer to the max. With bigger trips to come my brain simply does not shut up let alone let me sleep. Where to begin? 
Getting the toy hauler ready is almost a piece of cake, due to our yearly trial run to Daytona.

After we came back from Daytona, the neighbors were telling us that Dicker was very upset with us being gone (only for 5 days for crying out loud). So we decided to take him with us. He will wear the new body harness twice a day for a few minutes so he can get used to it. So far he is tolerating it without a fuss. 
woo-ooh...I'm going on a trip...so exciting


The route is something you will find out (almost) every step of the way. Same for us. The main tour is planed but nobody knows of all the side kicks. Go with the flow. Starting point will be the yearly Freedoms Rights Rally in Tallahassee where we will see our representatives.

Along the endless list of "to do's" was starting this blog. Karyn "donated" almost two hours of her busy life to help me getting some finer details (thanks Karyn). After she had left I was even able to set it up on my tablet. My "life-line" to you while on the road. 

It has been raining most of the night and it is still looking cheerless. Rupert has been sent off to work.  Hans Christian, who's here from Denmark for a week is still sleeping after a rather Schnaps induced talkative Saturday evening. Enjoying my quiet time I now will indulge in my reading passion and a "dolce far niente" Sunday. Wishing you the same....

It's a start.

Being a newbie blogger I am sure I will have to learn a lot.  Which is a good thing. This blog will be like a diary for myself (since getting old is so getting in the way with remembering) and at the same time my family and friends can follow, too. Since most people like to know where, when, what, coming with the accompanying pictures nobody will notice my short comings in setting the commas in the right place or/and my grammar. Well, after almost 10 years in the US I still have my troubles with tenses. I will do my best and at the same improve my skills. Bear with me.

And my hubby will be right next to (and behind me)
