Preperation

It is Monday night and we are hoping to leave Sunday (February 20). The ultimate goal is to be open minded, drive south away from the cold north, and then west. The camper van will be packed, kids in their car seats, dogs on their sheepfur beds on the floor. We will visit family in the northeast on our way south in CT and PA, and then continue on through the Great Smoky Mountains, through the deep south (well, deep to a northeasterner), and then on to the desert west. Perhaps we will find a new place to live, perhaps we will find out that mid-coast Maine is where we shall live. We will make our way back to Maine, hopefully with an idea of where our future shall reside. Along the way I will attempt to post on this site to keep our family and friends updated on our travels and discoveries. If you live anywhere along the way and would like to have a big van in your driveway for the night, let me know! We will be well equipped with fridge, stove, and beds as part of our wheels- gas guzzling food eaters. At least we won't be forced to compromise on greasy road food, which I have really come to loath in the past few years. Today is Valentine's day and our fridge at home is beginning to empty, the chickens are going to the neighbor's house tomorrow, and the basement is finally insulated. And so the cleaning and packing shall begin....
