No importance to using that picture today I just felt that a picture spices my writing up some!!!

That is right it is the "PD" (packing day).  We will head north tomorrow as soon as we wake up so by tonight the house needs to be buttoned up and the car packed.  I think 98% of things going are waiting to be put in the car so it should not be difficult but still it takes time.  News says that Memorial Day weekend is one of the most traveled times and according to news it starts on Thursday so we will see.  I think the majority of people headed north have left but weekend travel may be heavy with the "first" of summer vacations starting.
When we arrive in PeachTree City we will stay in a hotel for 3 nights as we take in HS graduation and the the party the next day.  I don't know if I have ever stayed in a hotel for 3 nights.  I am not saying it will be exciting but just a first.

Terry and I had a kind of date day Monday.  We know older people who use a visit to Costco as a "date" but we did not do that.  We drove north 25 miles and visited SW Florida's only Airstream dealer.  I had never been in an Airstream trailer.  We walked through about 4 or 5.  They are quite impressive.  The last one we went through was a class B motor home.  It is on a Mercedes frame with an Airstream body.  I think they sell for about $150,000.  The salesman said that for most people who buy them they do not use them as a camper but rather just a travel vehicle.  What the heck, they spend that kind of $$ and then 90% of the time on the road they stay in a hotel.  He did say if they were to go visit their kids they would stay in the vehicle.  Not sure what that says about mom/dad and kids!!! Airstream came out with a small camper called the "Nest".  It sells for $47,000.  Makes our tiny camper look like a REALLY bargain.  Regardless of the cost it was a lot of fun to walk through the campers and see how they are made and what quality they are.

I am in the middle of my FP but pretty much at the end of my blog for now.  I am thinking it may be a week+ before I blog again as I will not take the computer out on our trip and I do not use my phone to blog.  If all goes as planned we will arrive in St. Paul next week on Friday.
