Our days are
replete with packing, planning and farewells as we make preparations to get
underway.
Many of our
service issues discovered on our recent shake-down cruise have been addressed
by Camping World. It seems that we never get everything completed before
something else develops, but this appears to be the nature of RV’ing. RV’s are
much like boats in that they require continual maintenance. We are always
checking for leaks – both from the outside and from the plumbing. Because it is
a home that is often in motion, it is necessarily one in which items persist in
coming loose and is a concern. And beyond these apprehensions we have the
normal everyday duties concerning the operation and cleanliness to keep us
engaged.
I am amazed at how many items from our coach
ended up in the house and now need to be repacked. Not just clothes but all the
little items we think of during the summer that we retrieve from the coach for
use in our home. Tools, electronics, books, documents, kitchen utensils, cameras,
pet items, office supplies, etc. all have to be sorted out and placed back in
our traveling home. It is also certain that we will not be on the road a day
before we discover some things that we have forgotten. Oh well.
Last night we
met Kathy’s folks, George & Gloria, at Camping World for a meet and greet
with Marcus Lemonis, CEO of the company. There was food and a remarkable drawing
where RV items were given away. Mr. Lemonis must have given away $100,000 in
shopping certificates, RV discounts, generators, grills, awnings, service
contracts, and such. George and Gloria walked away with a $1000 in merchandise.
It was very interesting. Tonight we will spend the evening with the folks again
as we will go out to eat and then say our farewell. Tomorrow night we dine with
Glen & Rita, Kathy’s sister and Brother-in-law.
