I haven't written anything for a few days as we have been on the move. With Maria coming we left Nags Head and began our trip to Texas. We had no plans for any stops along the way. We are having an interesting trip. Traffic has generally been good, very good roads except for a spot in South Carolina. We have been seeing an inordinate amount of police on the road and broken down cars. Don't know what is going on. In addition to that  we have seen 2 car fires and a fire at the Atlanta Airport that had flames going 50-75 feet in the air and a lot of black smoke. We tend to travel 225-275 miles a day, driving the motor home is not like driving a car and we are in no rush.

As we are going to be in Livingston, TX for a week we are busy making appointments. First was the motor home to get the broken window replaced, a battery monitor installed and some new batteries. I won;t even go into the battery saga in full detail but we have truely abused all the batteries in the motor home and are getting AGM batteries plus a better battery monitor to check on them. We need to go to 2 different Sams Clubs to get the batteries for installation so one day is dedicated to getting our batteries. Mostly we have filled up the entire week with things to do or appointments.

We will become Texans while here to begin our full timing life in the RV. With that in mind we need to have our wills etc. updated so have an appointment with a lawyer(who is an RVer) that caters to full time RVers and their unique problems. It is wonderful to belong to an organization with all this support. Makes our  lives so much easier.

After Livingston we need to go up to Dallas to get some wheel balancers installed and then we will spend some time in New Mexico. Except for the Balloon Festival we never seem to spend any time in New Mexico, just drive through.
