Preparation for the Journey

Thanks to all who have stopped by and left such encouraging comments. I will be visiting your blogs as well. I feel like a sponge wanting to soak up all the info I can on how to plan, what I will need to take with me, tools, cooking stuff, dog supplies, etc, as well as how to look after my rv.

I thought I heard her calling my name today as I drove by the repair shop. She was sitting outside (probably still waiting on the parts to come in). Thought I could hear her saying "why did you leave me here all alone? When you coming to get me?"

Actually I was on my way to get a new cell phone that would give me the best cell service all over the USA. The one I now had, the coverage dropped off drastically past TX. I had pulled the coverage maps up on the internet and compared them. I went with ATT's pay-as-you-go plan. I know I won't get coverage just everywhere, but we had had ATT in the truck before and it seemed to do a good job then.

I also got an air-card (whole seperate deal) and have 30 days to see if it works for me. My idea was to be able to cut the home internet, IF..... the air-card would work at the house as well. I figure I will probably be spending half the next year in the rv and half at the house, and then decide from there .

I also picked up a Fix-a-Flat for large tires, a can of de-icer, and a sunscreen for across the windshield. I write things down that I think I may need, from what I learn reading other rv blogs. I've got a pile of tools together. But not sure what else I need in this area. Are there any tools you would not leave home without??

Welcome to new followers, I am pleased to have you join me! Hopefully I can get on the road soon, maybe by the first of next week :) Planning to head to the beautiful colored fall trees in Pennsylvania, to see all my kids and grands, and to do some painting! Till then, stay cool.... or warm, whatever the case, and may God keep you safe on your journeys!
