What we're doing...
Friday, 2/9/2021 – Hey everyone!! We finally have some good news. As you all know, this past year has been difficult for everyone. The fact is it’s been close to 500 days since we’ve done any traveling and since we’ve seen any of our family. This wasn’t in our plan when we retired and hit the road full time almost eight years ago but we’ve taken the cautious route so that we can stay healthy and continue our lifestyle for years to come. Claudia and I still have many places on our list to visit as well as many other places that we want to see again. This virus has hit us all real hard but finally there is some light. Claudia and I have received both our first and second vaccine shots and are now planning to return to the road beginning in May with our focus this summer on family reunions. We understand that social distancing is still essential and we’ll continue to stay as safe as possible while on the road but the fear of contracting the virus, especially while travelling has been addressed. Our focus will be to visit our families while keeping them safe as well.
It’s been over four months since our last update and they’ve been anything but uneventful. In our last update I indicated that a short RV trip we were planning had to be cancelled because I wasn’t feeling well. That turned out to be more serious than we realized. After several doctor visits it became apparent that I was having some heart issues that needed to be addressed. In November I received two stents in the Left Anterior Descending Artery of my heart to address an 85% and 99% blockage. Needless to say I felt very lucky to have discovered it in time and while we were down here in Texas rather than travelling on the road. Since then I have recovered nicely and am actively staying as fit as possible in order to be ready for this year’s travel. At this point both Claudia and I are mentally and physically ready willing and able to proceed with our plans.
Our plans for this year will include travels to visit all three of our children and all nine grandchildren. We also plan to spend some time with our siblings, their families and my mom. We’ll also be visiting some friends along the way as we travel from Texas to New England by way of Galveston, Myrtle Beach, Virginia Beach and Lake George, NY. Once in New England we’ll spend some time at my sister’s home in Massachusetts before spending a couple of weeks at Newfound Lake in New Hampshire. Our return trip to Texas will bring us back down to North Carolina for a second visit with our daughter and her family before completing our trip. We expect to only be on the road about four months this year but it’s a good beginning to what we hope is a new normal. We have bigger plans for future years. We’re not ready to call it quits just yet.
We hope you’ll return to enjoy the ride with us. Once we hit the road again on May 12th we’ll do our best to continue the updates to our web site as frequently as possible. We’re looking forward to it. I’ll post more updates as we get closer to our departure. In the meantime, please stay safe and healthy!!
