David here,
I know you all are disappointed it is not Andrew, but I am checking in today. We have been on the road for 6 weeks now. The motor home is working wonderfully. Driving on these New England roads can be a little dicey for our 45-footer, however we are making it around. There have been a few ---ut-o’s. The GPS kept sending us down roads that had 12’ underpasses. Not good when you are 13’. But these are just little things. The BIG things have been just great, 24x7 with 2 great kids and a wonderful wife. Learning about America, first hand, up close and personal.
This trip has been a dream of a lifetime for me. The inspiration for our trip came as a result of the trip I got to take with my dad to Australia, some 20 years ago. My mom and dad had planned to go; however, illness prevented her from going. I got the call to attend in her place and went.
For 40 days we wandered around Australia and New Zealand. What a trip. We talked about everything 2 men could ever talk about. We laughed and cried and laughed some more. We took a million photos. All of you know how much that trip meant to me, you have heard me YACK about it too many times to count. Anyway, if 40 days are great 400 will be super great.
My goal for this trip is to REALLY see America, REALLY get to know my kids, REALLY spend some quality time with the love of my life and REALLY leave my young children with a memory that will truly last a lifetime.
We miss Lauren and Julie and all the rest of our family and extended family. But as you surely know, time flies when you are having fun. We will be back before you know it.
Miss you so much Dad! I love you! Can't wait to come see you guys!
