Los Angeles just had a weekend of record-breaking heat - 98F this afternoon! We spent the weekend cleaning out cabinets and compartments in the motorhome, inventorying supplies and starting to pack. I also spent the hottest parts of the afternoon indoors at the computer: mapping our routes, planning stops and talking to the friends and family members that we plan to visit along the way.
Suddenly, the upcoming trip seems like it's really going to happen. It also seems like there isn't going to be enough time to get ready! Just for fun, I bought a tote bag with a bright red appliqued lobster and a matching red ball cap. I'll have a special outfit just for the lobster dinners that occur during our trip. I'm planning a little surprise gift for our caravan leader (the wagonmaster) and assistant (the tailgunner). I found two boxes of red gummy lobster candies and some lobster snack plates. Do you begin to see a theme here?
Seriously, though, there's lots to do to get people and pets ready to travel. We all have medical and dental appointments in the next month. We need to preorder medications, arrange house and garden care, prepay bills and complete maintenance projects. We managed to get it all taken care of last summer and hopefully it all will go smoothly again this year.
