Kit and Carol on the Road

Actually a lot of inertia has happened since I returned to Tucson but that's another story. Today is the big moving day for my mom. My sister in law is taking her for a long ride while brother and sis Linda sneak in and pack up all of her belongings and whisk them to McMinnville where hopefully they will have her room set up before she arrives. I am waiting to hear the outcome.
Meanwhile Kit and I are getting ready to depart on our big adventure. We leave at 6:30 am Thursday for Fort Lauderdale and off on the cruise on Friday. We have to leave our house organized because Gwen and Jim are coming down from Burlington on Wednesday night to house sit while we are away. They are arriving after dark so we will have a moonlight tour of garden watering. Our island neighbors/friends Bob and Omi are also in motion toward Fort Lauderdale in their around the US RV (Big Red) tour. We plan to meet Thursday night. And Joost and Marianna who are also island neighbors/friends are flying to Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday. We will be staying at the same Hotel and going on the same cruise--we did not plan this, it just happened. The motion we are most worried about is Kirsten who is driving down to Kalispell on Friday in temperatures close to -20. The battery is sleeping in the house but will her car Bob start. If she makes it to Kalispell she is flying to Seattle and hence to India.
