Day Three, 9.20.08

As we awoke this morning, knowing that Stella (the RV) was in the gentle, loving hands of Nick getting prepped to be decaled, Jane, Patricia and I got to work this morning almost immediately. We stretched and grabbed our laptops even before our feet touched the ground, to catch up on the work that had fallen aside when bringing relief to the people affected by Hurricane Ike took precedence.


Throughout the morning, as we took note of what still needed to be done before we arrived in Texas, the fact that once we’re back on the RV, we’re on the RV for the next month, set in. Lists were made and plans for gathering the supplies we needed were formulated. Stella’s a big girl, but we’re still restricted on space. It makes me wonder just how creative Ground Team Ike is going to have to be by the end of this journey.


Don’t get me wrong, Jane, Patricia, and I still feel the excitement. As we were roaming the aisles of Staples and Target, tons of different scenarios were playing through our minds. Would we need scissors? What about paper clips? How many rolls of duct tape? Even during dinner our excitement stood out. Patricia excitedly told our waitress about our journey toward Texas and even left the address to this blog on the check.


Tomorrow’s another day of planning and preparing. Its just a couple short days until the RV is completed and we’re on the road for good. And I can hardly wait.


G’night y’all.
