We have been planning this adventure now for about 5 months. We bought an older 5th wheel camper we have named "Andiamo"or "Let's Go" in Italian. Then we had to get a newer truck to pull the 34', 15,000 pound beast. This turned into purchasing a new Dodge 2500 with a diesel motor. Those of you that know me know that I would never purchase anything new especially a vehicle. But I think we made a wise choice in getting a truck that has a full warranty and such, and it's a damn nice truck.
We are now down to what clothes to put into a 4' wide closet. Charlotte is moving from a walk in closet, so she has many harder choices to make than me. Having said that, I had to go through 19 fly rods and choose 6 that I would take on the road. That was tough.
The other aspects of leaving are deciding what to do with birds, dogs, the house, etc. Fortunately, friends have stepped in to help us in with all of this stuff. So we are now down to one dog, Josephina, a ten pound miniature Schnauzer.
Other choices include what spices to take and what tools to take in a limited amount of space. We are moving from 2500 square feet into less than 400 square feet. We really are putting 10 pounds of flour into a 5 pound bag. It's not easy, but we are getting there. We have two more days to put the finishing touches on the whole shebang and then we are off on Wed.
We so appreciate those that are following us on our blog. We hope to make it fun and entertaining as well as enlightening. We are living our dreams being Rewired not Retired.
Bon Voyage,
Ms Charlotte and the Captain
Just bring the bitters and some party materials
