I have certainly gotten behind on my blog postings. It has been absolutely crazy trying to coordinate everything. I want to give everyone an update on what we have been doing and what our next steps are.
We have been living in the motorhome now for about 3 1/2 months and I can honestly say we love it. We have not looked back once in questioning our decision. It is amazing how little you need to live and be happy.
Our motorhome is pretty much ready to go. We are still moving small things in and out as we determine what we use and need daily.
We have not been anywhere since we left Myrtle Beach during spring break. We had a great time and it was good taking my mom RVing for the first time. I actually think she had a good time.
Since it has warmed up some we have been fishing at the lake here. Polly enjoys it as much as me and the kids really don’t care unless they are biting quickly.
We have purchased a new Canon 40D camera so we can take some good pictures while we are gone. I enjoy working in Photoshop and playing with images. We should be able to post some nice pictures during our journey.
Our house has been on the market for a few months now. We are happy to say that we currently have a contract on it. With any luck it will close the first part of June. Keep your fingers crossed for us.
Zachary has finished his final project for the year. He has had several this year and we are glad they are over.
We leave in 3 weeks and still have no clue were we are going first. We finally sat down for a few minutes last night and talked about it. We know we are going north between here and Canada but just have not worked out the stops yet. Our thoughts at this point is to follow close to the cost heading north stopping at several states and destinations. Then when we get up to Maine head into Canada and go west. Dip back down into Niagara Falls and then continue around towards possibly Michigan. Then back down through Ohio and back towards North Carolina. This will take about 6 months and get us back around December. If all goes as planned we will then plan and head west after Christmas.
I am planning our trip using Google Earth. Hopefully I will be able to post a map of our planned route so everyone can see. We will try to post it on our website when it is done.
Expect the blog postings to get more frequent over the next few weeks. Please subscribe to our blog.
Check out a few of the first pictures from our new camera. Not to bad considering I have no idea how to use it:)

Brian, I was reading your web-site and thought I would give you a buzz. Dianne are looking forward to reading about your and Polly’s trip. I was shocked to read that you got Joan to take a trip with you. I am sure that it did her a lot of good to take the trip with her family.
Good luck and God’s speed on your trip.
Dianne and I are planning a trip out west next summer. We were going to take it this summer, but Ranita is pregant and due in August. Nana will not leave her until she is sure that Ranita is out of “danger”.
See you later,
Connie & Dianne Godwin
Sounds like you are ready to go! I know this is going to be a real adventure for you and Polly and the boys. It will be nice to follow your trip with photos and blogs.
Congrats on the contract of your house. That is great. I bet you are glad you did not listen to me and rent it out. Glad to hear all is going well.
Good to hear from you Connie and Dianne. I saw you on Facebook Connie, I will send you a friend request as we will be posting there often. I didn’t know Ranita was pregnant. I bet you guys are excited. I look forward in hearing from you again soon.
Jack, we are very excited about getting the house sold. The couple buying it seem really nice and it is a great home. Maybe we can see each other before we leave Dunn in a couple weeks.
