Open House – Update

We had our open house this past week where people from Dan’s work were invited to stop by and visit, check out Lola and what one of these RV things looks like.  A small but enthusiastic group of folks dropped by over a two hour period.  Most were amazed by the size, both outside and inside, of the coach.  The idea of slides/rooms was difficult to comprehend for some.

The open house was held on a clear but cold Tuesday, one week from the sale/closing on our house.  It was nice to take a break from clearing out the house to show off Lola but things continue to get more real for us as December slips away.

Many have asked for a timeline so here is an idea of big hurdles and dates to come:

• December 18 – closing on our house (but we’ll remain in it until later in January)
• January 10, 11, 12 – Estate Sale from 10 AM to 3 PM
• January 14 – Donate all remaining “stuff”, remove anything else that is considered “junk”
• January 16th – RV Life starts – depart for Carrabelle, Florida.

We’ll be posting blogs during our travels but we’ve had a lot of questions about where we will be going on our first trip so thought we would go ahead and give you a preview.  Below is a map of our first trip which will include:

• 7 campgrounds
• 52 nights
• 1,231 miles
• About 20 total hours of driving
• Approximately 205 gallons of diesel fuel
