We are glad to hear that the snow is disappearing. Let's hope there aren't any surprise snow storms as we head north. We were also told that we have to worry about storms with hail and high winds in "Tornado alley" as we drive north. Of course, it is all hard to fathom because it reached 94 F and 98 F recently so we decided to break down and turn on the air conditioner!!
Well today is the eve of departure. Yesterday Paul did the mandatory safety items, like checking the wheel lugs, tire pressure, and other physical trailer and truck parts. Then he emptied our storage area and repacked it. A few days ago he washed the RV from top to bottom, so it is all shined and ready to hit the road. Today is a sunny warm day, so a few cool ones by the pool sound like the game plan. If I get ambitious I might wash the truck.
When we leave on Wednesday we will head up to Mustang Island (Near Port Aransas) and spend two nights right on the Gulf of Mexico. Our next stop will be about a day’s drive somewhere in Louisiana. We then plan to hop onto the Natchez Trace Parkway. The 444 mile Natchez Trace Parkway commemorates an ancient trail used by animals and people that connected southern portions of the Mississippi River, through Alabama, to salt licks in today's central Tennessee.
We should come out around Nashville, TN – at which point the weather will determine how quickly we make a dash north for the border. Paul keeps threatening to make a right turn and head back down to Florida… :-)

Ok I will follow the old retired bloggers.
ReplyDeleteYes we are still in the north with great warm days at 9 degrees. What sun not this week rain.
Have a safe trip to the north or you can turn left and head for Cuba.
Looking forward to a pint and some stories.
