We finally got the motorhome back from the shop yesterday.  Had to replace the house batteries (which run the coach and support all appliances when not running on shore power), make sure the tires have proper pressure and get the hitch for towing the car re-welded!  Thank goodness we took it into the shop after our last quick trip to Key West in late March to check out the hitch.  It had cracked in two places and could have made for a rough voyage had we not checked it out.  But, now all is fine and we are getting ready to rock and roll!

Will take today and tomorrow morning to load it up with all the essentials needed for an almost three month trip.  We will need both warm weather and cold weather clothes.  It's still pretty cold out west, especially in Idaho!  How did we get talked into making the trip up to Sandpoint, Idaho?  Thanks go to Gerry, Karen and a bunch of crazy neighbors also making the trip.

Looking forward to getting on the road Thursday afternoon!!!
