Well here we are, getting closer to the date - we've had a couple of 'open house' sales, but we still have 4 large items to sell: 2 dressers, a wall unit and the couch. We've reduced the prices on everything as low as we can go; I guess it's a bad time of year to try to sell stuff. We'll bring what doesn't sell to our friend, Harry's place in London, and he'll try to sell this from there. There is a bit of small items that we'll put in storage until we get back - I'm sure we can sell these items at a yard sale this Summer.
We have been to the banks a few times working out our finances for the RV. Thankfully, we started this early enough and gave the RV dealer lots of time to get our motorhome ready when we pick it up.
We found ourselves being bored lately as most of our belongings have been packed for a while now. It has been too cold to venture out for long walks up until a couple of days ago. Another large storm is upon us tonight, tomorrow and Thursday morning: rain, heavy snow and wind, so we'll likely be housebound again until it's' over. Hopefully there won't be any storms the day we leave.
We have mapped out our trip to try to avoid the Apalachians this time, going through: Indianapolis, Nashville, Birmingham, Montgomery, then through some local roads to cut through to I75 in GA, then in FL across I10 to Jacksonville, and finally to I95 all the way South to Fort Lauderdale.
