Amuck in America 2006: Serenity

A man once wrote that men were from Mars and women were from Venus. A woman immedately countered that infact women have been and always will be from Earth, and men were from Pluto. Shortly after making this decleration, they made another one. Pluto would no longer be considered a planet.

By way of evidence I offer this ancidote. When the plan to leave Greensboro was made, I understood it that at 7am when my vet opened, Sara and I would be there with our five animals for delivery. At 8:00am sharp we would be at The Doc's. At 8:30 when the storage facility opened we would be first in line by the gate.

What Sara got was this: Get up when you can, start packing. Get the pets to the vet sometime before noon and we would leave whenever we were good and ready and not a moment before.

Turns out I was wrong on every count. It is now 4:13pm Saturday as I write this. We are sitting in the RV about a block from The Doc's house. At 4:30pm I go back and see if there is more stuff to load. The odd thing is that Sara and I are having a lot of fun. Glad she remembered to pack some DVD's.

10:10PM We're all gone to die! Whose driving this thing??? Oh, wait. That's me. We made it all the way to Statesville...sans Doc. The decision was made to send myself and my darling wife ahead with Serenity, and she would take the shuttle and meet us here in the morning. So here we are, dinner was a pack of Lance crackers each and a bottle of water. I look forward to having some food that actually has food in it.

Now for the surprises, I spent several minutes trying to level the thing when it occured to me (I saw it written on the leveling controls) that one should read the manual before leveling. What? I'm just the pilot. You want levels, you get a leveler. Electricity was easy, you just plug it in. Water was easy to. Take garden hose "a" and connect it to spicket 1, and tank nozle 2. Turn on spicket. Look honey, Water AND electricity!

We spent 8 hours vacationing in Greensboro, followed by an hour on the road only to stop at a KOA. All in all its been the best day ever.

I hope we're going to get lots of road trip updates!
