Gettin' ready ... Again

Can you believe it?  We're almost back!

In another day or so we'll be on the road again.  Summer's a distant memory, most of the two million leaves in my yard are bagged, my tow car is getting a fresh transmission, our coach has got new awnings and we're ready to hit the road.

So where are we going?  Well ... after much consternation, we decided to sort of repeat the general route we took our first year on the road some 5 years ago.  Head down the Mississippi Valley, then head west.  Checking out the nooks and crannies of Americana, seeking out that grubby little eatery with the unforgettable food and stumbling into the lives of everyday folks, who at times, will have great stories to share.  Some I can re-tell ... others best left for a night around the campfire.

We'll make a turn westerly towards Hot Springs Arkansas (maybe even dig for diamonds again) then SW to the Austin Texas area... lay low for a few days then begin exploring the culturally rich Austin area.    Our good friends Bill and June are joining us for their first post retirement winter trip so it will be great to have them nearby.  After a time we'll head back east along the gulf coast ... Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, then up to Hilton Head Island ... Then back to South Haven Michigan to our summer lair at Cousins RV park around the first of May.

That's the plan but who knows ... If the weather turns sour maybe we'll head off somewhere else.
So hang with us along the way and I'll do my best to keep it interesting.

Still livin' dream

Phil
