Well we finally left home today around 12:30 PM. Our departure was delayed because Ron’s laptop was shipped two days ago after multiple delays in processing his order. He special ordered his laptop on March 23rd but due to manufacturing problems the delivery date was pushed back three times. He finally decided to have it delivered to Kelly’s but they got the message too late so it was shipped to our home address, hence the delay in leaving. The good news is he got a smokin’ deal, the bad news it was being shipped from Singapore, China.
Ron was anxiously waiting for delivery and followed closely on the Fed Ex website. First there was a delay in getting the shipment out of China- didn’t make it to the plane on time! Then a storm stopped delivery to Memphis, Tennessee followed by a delay due to customs issues. Despite all the delays we thought would hold us up for at least 7 days the computer arrived 36 hours after we were told it had shipped. Not sure how that was accomplished but Hooray for Fed Ex.
The additional days gave us both more time to further prepare for our trip. Getting better organized for both of us and more time to clean the house and MH for me was exactly what we needed.
We plan to drive straight through to Colorado because there are so many things we want to see and do there. We usually stop along the way to see and do but this time we’re changing our mode of operation. Hopefully we’ve made the right choice.
We enjoyed the ride and despite leaving so late we covered over 300 miles. The weather was mostly good but we did run into several short rain showers. So much for washing the MH.
