On the Road Again!

Yeah! We finally got OUT of Tucson today! It took a long time for us to get going because of the "perfect storm" of all the big changes. Getting the new RV, having a new guy in it, and just putting it all together has been a big deal.

Yesterday's last minute chores included going to the AZ BMV to get our vehicles de-registered. Then we went to State Farm to take off most of the insurance on them. This little step will save each of us some considerable money.

Last evening, we ended up going out to dinner with Donna and Al at Claim Jumper. It was sort of a last minute decision, but it turned out to be lots of fun. Then we got to bed early in the RV, and then awakened just at the break of dawn.

This morning, we had just a few things to haul out to the RV, some cleaning to do in the house, and we had to unhook the utilities for the house. Then we had to get the rest of the stuff put away in the RV, unhook, and get OUT!

And that's what we did. Then we didn't leave town immediately. We went to Mimi's for breakfast, which was really good! Then we went to the church so that Jack could return a book he'd borrowed. Then.. finally! We headed down Houghton to I-10 and we were gone.

Tonight, Ruby is parked just off I-10 at Hacienda del Sol RV Resort! Have a look at the Where is Janee Now? link over to the right, and you'll get to the site that shows exactly where Ruby was and what time, at our last communication with a ham radio station that does APRS and connects with the internet. Anyway.. there we are! Click the Satellite link and you can see where we actually were, when the woman was leading us around to our camp site!

It's been windy today -- very windy -- but it seems to have calmed a bit this evening. We went on a nice walk when we arrived here, walking over to the neighboring RV dealer, where we walked through the lot, looking at some RV's, just for fun. Tonight, we're sitting and catching up on bills and email, enjoying our RV park's free WiFi!
