Luckily, I'm still working, because I'm still spending! Ended up getting us Kobo readers to take with us on the road. I love mine. I doubt I'll ready many actual paper books again. At the moment I'm on the 3rd book of the Millenium trilogy by Stieg Larsson (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series).
We are still planning a trip south in April. I may or may not quit my job at the end of March. Depends whether the boss wants me back after a 5 or maybe 6 week absence. We've kicked around various camping ideas and I think we are pretty much going to stick to commercial, and maybe one or two state, campgrounds. We're not comfortable with the idea of over-nighting in rest areas or truck service centres, and boondocking in the desert has no appeal for us. Give us our swimming pool! We plan to stay at the Happy Traveler RV Park in Palm Springs. It's really close to town so we can walk into our favourite cafe every day for coffee. We'll have to drive to Indio to get our Shield's date shakes though. Wonder how many of those we'll have? So far our plans are driving directly to PS via the interstates, staying there for 2 weeks or so, then heading home along the California coast. We'll spend a few days in Mendocino. One of our most favourite places. We're determined not to have to rush home for any commitments but rather arrive home when we feel like it.
I did buy a couple more things for the trailer. I got a real nice stainless steel tea pot. Expensive, but unbreakable. And a little stick-on gauge for the propane tank. Oh, and some coat hangers that I can secure to the closet bar to stop our clothes from ending up on a heap on the floor of the closet.
Todays' gratitude:
I'm really grateful to live in a country with such good health care. I recently had a little procedure done at our local hospital and must say it was an altogether positive experience. Right down to the warm blankets!
