On the road again!

Millie and I are back on the road. After a busy week of packing furniture, getting the condo secure and the motorhome ready we departed MB on Saturday at 12:30. Our journey will take us to New Mexico where we will deliver some family heirloom furniture to Millie’s daughter. We will stay and visit with Rae Anne and Dave for several weeks before returning to Myrtle Beach.

We only covered 240 miles today but we weren’t in any hurry. We had planned on leaving on Sunday so we are ½ a day ahead of schedule. We usually like to travel with a very loose schedule so we can wander wherever our interests take us, but this is a different trip. We are towing a U-Haul trailer which limits where we can go. Our itinerary for the westward leg is to stay on the interstates and just drive everyday until we get to Los Alamos, New Mexico.

We are overnighting in a Wal-Mart parking lot in Augusta Georgia. Strange as that sounds, it’s a safe place to stop for the night and RV’ers are welcomed by Wal-Mart to do so. Tomorrow morning we will be able to quickly get back on the interstate and continue our westward journey. We hope to drive about 400 miles tomorrow, which will put us somewhere around Tupelo Mississippi tomorrow afternoon.
