Going through the Motions

As we go through the motions of getting ready to go on our Adventure, there are many tasks at hand. Today, Jeff will pick up our passports in Toronto! Yay! Also, today is October, 1st, so it marks one month until our leave date of November 1st. We can't believe it's so close! We continue to make lists, organize and are planning the beginning stages of our trip. So far, we have decided on San Diego, California as our first destination for November and part of December. Following that, we will go to Tucson, Arizona for the rest of December through February. Currently, Lisa is looking into K.O.A. locations as pit stops along the way towards California to ensure we are all well-rested, showered and have places to burn off couped up energy! We are waiting with baited breath for our trailer to be delivered. Once it arrives, Jeff will take a crash course in towing and backing-up...a task he's somewhat unsure of but will master quickly, I'm sure. :) Then, we will be able to pack the trailer and figure out what our needs are as we go along. Wish us luck dispensing with items we really don't need and making choices that simplify our lives...

Matt's most recent comments regarding our trip to make us smile:

"Let's just get some random trailer and go."

Question: "Matt, what are you looking forward to on the trip?"
Answer: "Going on the biggest roller coaster I'm allowed on!"

Lucas telling Grandma Goodman: "Well, we won't have to mow the lawn anymore." (Jeff echoes that... :)

Thanks to Vivian for her practical and informative information regarding Road tripping! I will post pictures of the trailer once we get it and more information will follow.

Along with many 'firsts' this is my first blog ... as we go through this process, I look forward to other 'first' experiences and sharing them with all of you.

Thanks for reading...Keep checking in....
