Days are ticking by and we haven't left yet :(

It's Sunday again and we can't believe how long it is taking us to get to a departure date but we have a drop-dead departure date for Wednesday morning!!!

Roger spent this past Thursday finishing the truck cleaning (Matt doesn't keep a very clean truck to say the least and he smokes) but finally it is all clean and the smoke smell eradicated so the truck is road ready. I continued do administrative things such as paying bills, updating our lists of things to do or buy, etc. We also picked up Wyatt from daycare as Matt & Amy were meeting us at home for us to all go out and eat for Roger's upcoming birthday and father's day since we won't be here. We picked up Wyatt at 3:30 and played with him until Matt & Amy came at 6:00 and we went to eat and then came back home, gave Wyatt a bath and they went home.

Friday, we did things around the house and then went to Port Charlotte to do a little more shopping for the trip. We also went to our warehouse to make sure everything was in good shape before we left town for so long - and everything is good there. We picked Wyatt up at daycare at 3:45 and kept him overnight which is always a blast but tiring too for two old folks - hehe.

Saturday morning Matt & Amy picked up Wyatt and we went to get the camper to bring it to our house so we could clean it and start packing it on Sunday. Wouldn't you know - we got it all hooked up and checked the lights before we pulled off and the back right light wasn't working (same problem as the left light when we first bought it) so we had to unhook and leave it there for them to fix it on Monday but they are not sure if they can get to it until Tuesday as they have a full day of commitment on Monday but may try to work us in so we are hoping because we're not sure if we can pack in one day but I'm willing to do whatever it takes for us to pull out early Wednesday morning. Roger had an appointment at noon Saturday that went well. Saturday evening we had dinner with our best friends, Karen & Lin. They went all out as they usually do but extra special this time for Roger's birthday. It was an absolute wonderful meal, great company and fine entertainment. Martha Stewart has nothing on Karen - she is the quintessential hostess.

We are spending today (Sunday) writing this post, I'm continuing and should finish a more friendly version of our camper manual in order to give us check off lists for leaving, set-up, and tear-down, we're cleaning house, and are going to start packing some of our things in tubs so I better run and get started!

Until next time. . .
