Yay! Congratulations on the first major trip with Bertie! I love the idea of writing a blog from Bertie’s point of view, that’s really clever! If you do so, please let me know, I’d love to follow it.

I hope you and your husband recover soon and really start enjoying the lifestyle! Any ideas on your next big trip? Thanks for the campground recommendation, we’re always looking for nice places to stay.

See you on the road!

It took us almost 2 days to get settled in due to my foot and ankle and my husband is facing back surgery. When we are healthier it will be easier. Despite some difficulties on our part, Bertie was in great shape and everything worked perfectly. She was well loved in a previous life. Reading your blog from the beginning was so helpful and we haven’t made any major newbie errors. Even though it was rainy all day, we got tissue box holders, etc put up. I finished my stairwell cover – after breaking some bones I really don’t want to fall into the stairwell by accident! Chris and I agree that when we are in better shape we are really going to enjoy the RV lifestyle. Bertie is starting to look very homey (Hush Bertie! I said homey not homely.). I think Bertie is starting to develop her own personality and I may write a blog from her perspective one of these days. Again, thank you both for sharing such great information. It was very, very helpful. If you’re in the mood for a laid back, beautiful campground, I recommend Willow Tree RV Resort in Longs, SC. It’s about 10 miles to North Myrtle Beach and we have only left for dinner out. Great find for our first outing!

HA, I didn’t know cats did the same thing! It’s a ridiculous position and never fails to put a smile on my face! Hopefully FL hasn’t been too hot recently.

The fear of finding a good hairdresser is also my fear but I figure a bob isn’t too hard to trim. Originally I wanted a pixie cut, but that would require frequent trims and I just don’t have the patience to find a hairdresser every 2-3 weeks. If someone screws up my hair, I’ll just wear a hat till it grows out, especially since Mike is usually the only one that sees me most of the time. :-P

Thanks! We loved Magic: The Gathering card game, but collected boxes and boxes and boxes of cards! Dominion sounds like another great game. Looks like a fair number of expansion packs. Is it good enough to play with just the base cards?

Oh no!! That sounds like an awful fall, hope it heals quick. I’m glad it’s not stopping you though! So the first trip is to SC? Have a LOT of fun! Tell Bertie to behave herself and be a good girl. :) Hopefully all the bugs and wrinkles have already been shook out of her so it’ll be smooth sailing.

We found most RV’ers tend to be super-helpful so you can ask almost anyone for help if you have any issues while camping. Hopefully we’ll cross paths when we come back to the East Coast in the fall!

We’ve played backgammon before and enjoyed it, haven’t tried cribbage though. Mike’s not much of a trump/bid card game type though. We really enjoy meeting up with you again and look forward to dinner out next week! I’m glad you and Tom liked the scones. I used to bake often when we were in a sticks and bricks home, but I’m a little more limited in the RV.

It’s interesting that you cut your hair and I’m letting mine grow. I have a difficult time locating good hairdressers in the middle of nowhere, so decided to just pull it up or pin it back. I’m sure I’ll eventually succumb to a short style eventually.

Love the WD-40 and Duct Tape clip art……so true. Those two and Quake Hold….Don’t know what I’d do without them.

Safe travels.

When I was working we were in Green Bay and set up a flow chart on cow tipping which was a lot of fun! We’re finally taking Bertie on her first official trip 4/28 – 5/4. Only problem is I tripped and fell breaking my right foot in 2 places and my left elbow. However, I am in a walking boot so the show will go on. Also, love the shorter cut on you.
