Whoosh!

Getting off to a slightly rough start. Bridget has been complaining of stomach pain for 2 days. Was planning to finish packing this morning, but we both took her to the doctor in time to leave to do our rv pickup. Her doc said she seemed fine, could be a virus, who knows? She doesn't have many symptoms, just stomach cramps.

Went to get the rv and unfortunately it wasn't clean inside or out. They were really responsive though, in getting it clean quickly. Going over the condition (like a rental car, checking for dings/scratches so you don't get blamed) and workings of the rv took forever. Some of you have asked us where we got our rental. They are in Austin, which is very convenient, and they are nice people: http://austinrvrent.com/default.aspx

I really hope Pat remembers most of that, because my head was spinning. All I remember is that if we don't have a sewer/water hookup at an rv park, we'll only get 5 mins of water in the shower FOR ALL OF US. And I poked Pat in the back and whispered, "we don't have that anywhere much, right?" and he nodded. So we're basically hosed. Need to buy some baby wipes to keep clean, I guess. (and I plan to ask Pat if we can upgrade at some of our spots - if possible at this late date)

The plan is to drive up to Allison's (my sister's) tonight and eat breakfast with them tomorrow before driving 1/2 way or more to Mt. Rushmore. So I better get my rear in gear and get packing!

Happy camping! Hope you make it to Dallas!! Chris carries extra water in milk jugs to flush toilet on the road or when there is no water hookup (when we were at Dodie's). Only use a little--the sewage tank is small.
Thinking of you,

So you're on your way! Will be thinking of you as you learn about living in an RV! Maybe you will teach others when you return!
Have a great time!
Love you!
