T minus 7 and counting

1 week from yesterday. Next Monday, 05/01/2017 Mr Charley & I will be heading out on our next Great Adventure - Alaska!

We've been planning things,  making lists of things to do, things to get, things to remember, reading about things to see, things to do,  researching, checking off, trying to remember EVERYTHING!

The hardest thing I've had to learn in this RV lifestyle is to quit planning EVERYTHING & just enjoy the ride. There are some things to plan for, but it's more  day by day things (how far to drive, where to stay,etc). You don't have to map out the entire route, make reservations, plan out every meal,etc.
 I was a Systems Analyst, a working woman with kids, the caregiving child , I HAD to out think EVERYTHING, so I could stay 1 step ahead of it all. Mr Charley is just the opposite. He knows what needs to be done, does it, then asks me what else he needs to do. LOL ;)
He's been doing this a lot longer than I have and he knows to make plans in jello just in case you want to stay another day, or something happens along the way. And when I get frustrated with him, I take a deep breath and say "I want to travel" and then we go back to what ever needs to get done or add it to the list.

So we're down to the last week. The final days of our countdown to Alaska. I'm sure there's things we haven't thought about, but I know we'll handle it because this is a once in a lifetime adventure! And....."I want to travel"


Rvriding is making lists, & doing what you want anyway
