Hey, i decided to create this blog to help organize the road trip that I am on. Here i will keep track of people I meet, photos I take, places I go, and thoughts that I have. This blog will be a personal place for me, but anyone can visit and post a comment if you care.
In early 2008, I decided to sell my home, have an auction to dispose of my stuff , liquidate my business interests, buy a motorhome and live in it full time. The primary motivation was my firm decision to never ever spend another winter in Michigan. Sorry, call me a wuss or whatever, but i just can't and won 't do that anymore!!!
So, it took all summer, the house was painfully sold, and stuff and more stuff was sold, given away, or stored. My new home was found, a 2000 Sea View (National) 35' class A rig with 21,000 miles and a ford triton V10 motor. It has two slide outs and all the ameninties.
My primary traveling companion is Spanky, a 10 pound 9 year old wiener dog. He is an amazing dog and you will see him mentioned too much here! lol Behind the house, I am pulling a garage (trailer) that houses the Amphicar. Amphi drives on water and land and has proven to be the most fun car imaginable.
So, on November 18th, at 58 feet and 23,000 pounds, we hit the road! We have been on the road for almost 2 months and currently are in Texas. My next few posts will detail some of our adventures so far!
Wow- it has been 2 months since you took off.
ReplyDeleteThis blog is a great idea! I love all the photos. I'm glad to hear the boys are coming to visit. It's so cold here they cancelled school last Friday (not for snow... literally because it was so cold) we have been getting our fair share of snow too. Warm weather is such a nice thought. I'll be sure to follow your adventure notes & see you in May sometime!!! love, Vicki & kids
