On The Road Again

A 2:45 start with shiny, nice new tires and off we went! 5 minutes down the road a nice friendly person is trying to get our attention. Ahhh, we left the RV antennae up and we are now pulling over. Fixed that, no problem and we are off! About 15 minutes down the road Tim is once again exiting....he forgot to rotate the RV door handlebar back in. And now we are off and have been driving for an eternity according to our children. Who are actually being very good sports.

We were so excited at dinner when we thought we were only 2 hours away from Carlsbad. Carmen (yes we named her) Garmin had our arrival time for 9:00. Over an hour later we had to stop for diesel (side note, Dad, we are averaging 8.6mpg) and we came to the realization that we were not 45 minutes away but another HOUR and 45 minutes. We are now in a new time zone. Yippee we have just gained an hour! Tim looked overjoyed. I think he was more upset than the kids.
As I write this we are driving on the straightest, flattest road in the world. We are, hopefully, 30 minutes away from pulling into our RV camp in the dark. No problem! What could go wrong?!
