Breaking News

If you hear on the news that the wife of a Florida couple who are full time RVers has been arrested for the death of her husband (probably should put this on the blog) .. that would be me.
How long has the trailer been here? December .. he tells me today that before we leave we have to put this silver stuff (has bubbles in the middle for a heat barrier) in the cabinets in the front of the trailer .. BEFORE we leave.
EXCUSE me .. I'm not like you I don't wait till the last minute .. everything would have to be taken out of the cabinets, the stuff would have to be cut to fit .. EXCUSE ME! .. 2 days before we leave .. I don't think so.
So in his pissy type voice .. "fine I'll just throw it all away" (we used it on the old trailer to keep the heat out) ... I'm thinking fine cause I'm NOT going to do it when I had months to get it done.
Be curious to see what he does with the stuff .. it's on the expensive side so throwing it away (large roll) is money .. BUT at the same time it doesn't get as hot in FL as it does out here ..
How can people wait till the last minute to do things? I'm sitting here finished with what I need to do, except wash the clothes tomorrow so we will leave with all clean clothes .. clean our tanks .. and secure all the loose items ..
Procrastinators !

Follow our Travels

Although I may not be able to post everyday .. due to no internet access or just plain tired ... you will be able to follow us from NV to FL .. Rather then send out email's to all our friends and family it will be easier if I post here .. I will also be posting pictures to my Picasa Web Albun and will include links.

I do hope you remember to check here often.

We will be leaving Lake Mead, NRA Monday morning, drive north through the National Recreation Area, through Overton, NV connecting with I 15 North. Our first days destination is Zion National Park. Our plan is to stay at Watchman Campground.

We are looking forward to our travels east and hope you visit here often.

Raisins

DH and I both agree the raisins are working .. for me as I've been saying all along that I have strength in my left hand .. My thumbs continue to hurt .. but I think it's because I use my laptop so much and it's sitting on my lap. I thought that's what you wre supposed to do.

DH says he can lift his arms further over his head .. he actually had to take a mental note, because he honestly didn't know if they were doing anything .. that's how it is .. you just start doing things you weren't doing before or had trouble doing.

Closer to leaving Nevada

We've been at Callville Bay Resort and Marina for 2 years. Tomorrow, Tuesday is DH's last day.

We took our 2 Honda EU2000i generators into an authorized service center, and surprisingly they were repaired in record time. Dropped them off on Friday and they were ready Monday. The company is closed on weekends.

The problem was one generator would not hold a load. In order to run either AC in the McKenzie Starwood we need both generators running at the same time.

We could be leaving here as early as Friday but chances are good that we will wait until Monday.

Our first stop is Zion National Park. I believe we stand a better chance of a river view site if we do not go on the weekend.

Check back occasionally as I will update the blog about our travels.

Raisins

We have been eating our 9 gin soaked raisins for 8 days ... one thing I noticed. Prior to eating the raisins I had little strength in my left hand. This situation was new for me. Couldn't pick up a fork, it was strange. I never told DH .. didn't want to worry him.

Now my hand is just fine .. don't know if the raisins are the reason, but I'm a positive thinker so I'm gonna say yes, the raisins are working.

DH isn't sure, but he remembers to eat them every day.
