Michigan

Greetings from beautiful Flint, MI! Not exactly the hotbed for summer travelers, but one must start some place. Actually our journey began last Monday when we said good bye to our home in Phoenix, AZ and hello Jauchmobile, our summer home on wheels. The week was spent driving through AZ, NM, TX, OK, MO, IL, IN. This morning we arrive in MI.

John and I are newbies to this experience and, like all good students, spent months reading everything we could about RVing and felt we were ready. Who could not love an activity that involves Boondocking? That is what we did this week. Minds out of the gutter people. Boondocking is stopping for the night at a truck stop or rest stop or, for those of you who can not pass up a deal, Walmart for the night. No fees like at a campground for those of us of German decent (John) or those of us who like to save money and have no pride (me).

As we formulated our plan for the summer, I thought, why not blog? There are at least two people out there who will read it (a good reason to have children). I have always kept journals of our travels so I will have a memory of the trip because, as any woman of a certain age knows, memories can be tricky things. What was I saying? Oh, yes, that whole journaling thing is now available to all to see.

So, we begin our journey here in Flint because my Sweetheart is celebrating his 50th college reunion. Our weekend will be filled with old friends, lots of laughs, and lots of reminiscing.

Stay tuned to see where we go next!
