Taking the cover off of the motorhome always marks the beginning of preparation for another trip. We recently did this as the start of our travels to the Pacific Northwest. It is accompanied by mixed emotions. The preparation for a trip involves many steps and a lengthy checklist of which Mimi is the keeper. Also, tensions arise as we feel an increasing time pressure to reach our departure time - Sunday morning. But watching the cover fall off the motorhome engenders a feeling of excitement, as Smokey's clean white lines appear and the satellite dish rotates to home-in on its satellite and reestablish its internet link.
This trip will be completely different than our previous Yucatan one. A lot less flashy - just drive and sit for long periods of time. We like this type of vacation also as it allows us to become intimately reacquainted with an area. Specifically, Pt. Townsend in Washington State. The weather just happens to be cool and clear at this point in the year. If you check a weather map, this little corner of the continental U.S. is one of the few spots to meet that weather criteria.
We will keep you updated about our preparation activities...
