So in case you didn't get off to a good start, you can start over again today!!
Speaking of starting over ... this year is one in which RVPainter (the hubby) and I are making a new and very different start in our lives. We sold the house last fall, and are biding time here in Santa Fe while our RV gets built. It will be ready for us to roll in April. We'll fly to Indiana to pick it up, then make our way back to Santa Fe to get some stuff and practice playing house in it for a few weeks before we head off.
The first part of our journey will take us east. Our first stop is San Antonio, Texas. From there we head to Charlotte, Virginia Beach and up to Massachusetts for Memorial Day. We've got family and friends in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, because we're originally from Mass. After that, it's up through the coast of Maine and into Nova Scotia. I have always wanted to go to Nova Scotia!!
And that's just the first leg!
As we head off on this adventure, this blog will evolve to be mostly about our trip. Think of the places we'll go and the people we'll meet, not to mention all the good food we'll eat. I'm nuts for a lobster roll and some onion rings just about now. And beaches. I miss beaches so much! We'll be seeing lots of them on this trip.
Of course, I'll be writing and RVPainter will be painting all along the way.
I hope you'll enjoy coming along with us on this adventure. RVPainter will blog about it too, and he's much funnier than I am. You'll be able to get two perspectives on the same events - HIS, and the correct version :-)
So this may be the 2nd day of the new year 2012, but it's the first day of another new year, and so is tomorrow and the day after that. What if we approached each and every day that way?
I'm so excited for you - can't wait to follow you on your trip

Yes, DW we have quite an adventure planned and lots of wonderful places to see. I will be posting a Journey Map on my blog as it is easier to see the scope of the adventure via the map.
ReplyDeleteWOO-HOO very exciting! :>)

ReplyDeleteRVSweetie, I really can't wait!!
What fun! That's something I'd like to do when life allows.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to your blog this year, it sounds exciting! I've always loved that quote "Today is the first day of the rest of your life."

ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to go on this adventure with you. I love to travel and my dream is to one day sell all of my major belongings, buy and RV and travel all over! I just saw a couple who did this on a tv show and their life looked awesome. Getting to see the sights and drive! Enjoy! I have been to Nova Scotia once- and it was beautiful!

ReplyDeleteOh Melissa, AND RVPAINTER! How I envy you! But in a "nice" way...not a "hateful-- wish I was as lucky as you guys" way!! :)
