We got home Sunday and I have spent everyday since cleaning out the "bus"!  I can't believe we were carrying around so much stuff!!  Fortunately, we have an empty one car garage that I have almost filled with the thngs we thought we couldn't live without for two months on the road!  Imagine how much "stuff" we will think we need for 9 months on the road!!!
My "travel partner" says we are going to minimalize for the next trip---we'll see!!!
We pick up our new rig next Wed. and are very excited!!  I hope Indian Summers comes this year so we can have a little test weekend before the big travel day gets here.

Well, we bought a new rig!!!  In fact, it is featured in the Oct. 2011 Motor Home magazine.  She is beautiful!!  It is a class C instead of another Class A.  We have really loved our Class A but we could never upgrade to another unit as they are so expensive.  The C class we bought is 31 feet long and can sleep 6.  It has full body paint, not decals, and is very comfortable inside.  It has the same motor as the Class A and a lot of the same features.  One of the better features is a fiber glass roof instead of rubber.  It also has a microwave oven and a regular oven.  More storage space in the kitchen.  I think we will be very comfortable in it.

I am in Goshen, IN the buggy capitol of the World!!  I am with 275 RVing Women for a week long conference.  We took a tour of a factory today.  This factory builds and sells motor homes.  We were really impressed.  In fact I am going over there tomorrow and drive one!

We then toured the RV Museum and saw some of the first RVs ever made.  It is amazing that people were brave enough to drive cross country in some of the contraptions we saw today.  True pioneers!

In the beginning

 My name is Nanette and live in Indianapolis, I enjoy traveling.  I am also the mother of three "only" children.  I say that because each of my children are so individual! 


 My oldest daughter "Q" is 47 with a significant developmental disability that required her institutionalization for about 25 years.  She is now purchasing her own home in Indy down the street from me. 

 My son "the cool man" is 45 and also lives in Indy and works as a heating and cooling expert.   


 My youngest daughter "the blueberry farmer" is 39 and has my three grandchildren on the orchard in Oregon.

I have a companion "fellow traveler" that goes with me in the motor home as well as our dogs Lucy, Ethel, Fred, and two cats Nutmeg and Xenia.

Our next trip is to Goshen, IN for the RVingWomen national convention in Oct. You can contact RVing Women at .www.rvingwomen.org.
