Going Home!!

WE MADE IT!!

306 days on the road, 64 different campgrounds and 25,388.5 miles later we are home.

Tuesday, 1/3 , day 306 of our great adventure was the day we decided to head home to Port Orange, Florida. We had a wonderful visit with our three grandchildren but all things must come to an end. I got up to hook up the camper for the last time of our trip. I probably should count how many times I have hooked and un-hooked the 5th wheel ( should be 128 times). I think I am probably what you call a PRO!! but I still am checking everything twice before pulling on to the road. We had about 250 miles to make it home and got on the road about 8am. It was a nice easy drive and we made it back home around 2pm.

I don't really know what to say about this adventure but WOW!  The wife, Suzanne and I have been so blessed to have made this trip. We survived and still LOVE each other after all that time together. She has been the best traveling companion anyone could ask for. Yes , I am very blessed to have someone like her.

The trip has given us so many memories that will remain with us forever. We have only really seen a very, very small area of this vast country. As this part of our lives comes to an end we are really looking forward to the future. Like any good book, one chapter ends and another starts.

Thanks to everyone who has followed along with our trip. All your encouragement has really kept me posting on this blog. Thanks again!

I have posted this before, but think this is so true and a way to say, THE END!!


Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change ... retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting! Waiting will only leave us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

The last hook-up

Home from the trip of a life time!!!

  3. I've been surfing online more than three hours as of late, yet I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is pretty value sufficient for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content material as you probably did, the net can be a lot more helpful than ever before.
