The Lifestyle

One of the things that really disturbs Pat is that RVers talk about "the Lifestyle." These folks love the way they travel and many don't ever want to travel any other way. For them it is a way of life. These people have done this, we have not. A few weekends glamping camping close to home doesn't make a Lifestyle, it makes me happier than in a tent with no bed and no AC do.

Fear not! We have spent the last year getting both the Dolphin and ourselves ready. We've thoroughly researched RV travel -- we watched RV , Vacation, and Christmas Vacation (Clark Griswald: So, when did you get the tenement on wheels? Cousin Eddie: Oh, that uh, that there's an RV.) Stripes was on our list, but we've now run out of time for anything but last-minute tweaks to the Dolphin.

Our last week at home is full of swimming lessons and doctors' appointments and stockpiling snuggles and kisses from our puppies.

Six days to go.
