It's a Good Day in the RV: Fall 2018 RV Trip: Getting Started

Well, here we go again. Another extended trip in the RV. We are leaving Sugar Land in August - dog days of summer. We are loaded and ready to go. I always feel like I am leaving the country when I leave Texas, so I have to put in enough Rotel and Black Beans to make it before re-entering! The yard is looking pretty good considering the 105 heat index we have been enduring.

Again, the house will be well cared for and looked after by our son while we are gone.

Hanging basket - hanging in there!

We will, of course, travel first to Midlothian to see daughter’s family. Also, will catch up with friends.

We then travel up to Michigan, stopping along the way to see more family, sightseeing, then spend some time with Debbie and Chris in Michigan. They spend the summer there each year.

We will stop after in the Upper Peninsula, meeting friends, who will show us around. We have never been there so am excited to see some new things. I hear it is beautiful.

Our sitting out place at home.

The main reason for this trip is to go on an RV Fantasy Tour. We will meet other campers - probably about 25 - in Bemidji, MN at the headwaters of the Mississippi River. We will then travel along the river all the way to New Orleans, where the river goes into the Gulf. Along the way we will stop at different points to sight-see. It will take 34 days to complete the route. This tour group does all of the planning and reservations for us. It is a good travel company for Rver’s. This tour was so popular we had to book 2 years in advance and pay a down payment then. If you read my New York blog from several years ago, it is with the same company. This part of the trip will be a challenge for me to see if I am able to sight-see all day, travel from place to place, and write the blog every few days or so…. I want everyone to enjoy the trip with us!
