Our original plan was to store the RV in Kingsport, TN, just outside of Bristol, for a few weeks and take the car home. Mid July we’re headed further west and will be taking the same route. We’ve never used storage before, but why put the miles on the RV and pay for all the gas driving back and forth. David found a place under cover and electricity for $100 a month.
The accident put a little twist in our plan. David found a repair shop, 100 miles further west, in Knoxville, TN, that will do the repairs and then store the RV until we get back. This adds several hours to our trip home. We’re in a bit of a hurry to get home, but you have to do what you have to do.
So, it’s 850 miles 14-15 hours home. Some of you may be thinking, YUCK! That’s a lot of driving. David likes to drive, which is important. I love “scenery watching” and I’m like a kid, I pack a box of “things to do” and when I’m not “scenery watching” I have no problem keeping busy. David and I also talk about EVERYTHING!
For those of you just starting to read this blog, I’ll tell a Readers Digest version of how David and I met. One day I walked into the back entrance of a restaurant and David walked into the front entrance. I thought I recognized him and waved, he waved back. After a minute of weirdness when we realized that we didn’t know each other, we started talking. That was ten years ago and we still haven’t run out of things to talk about 🙂 So we are good Roadies.
Next Stop … New York City, not by RV, by train! Not with David, but with my brother. This one will be different!
