This time we will be taking 3 months to explore and experience the local jazz, blues, and country music of Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama. We’re looking forward to sampling the great local cuisine, and touring New Orleans, Memphis, Nashville Muscle Shoals, Graceland, and so much more!
We will also be following the US Civil Rights Trail and visiting such places as Selma, Montgomery, and Birmingham. Then it’ll be off to wander the beaches and historic streets of Charleston North Carolina and Savannah Georgia, before heading back west toward Arizona, California and Baja California for some more adventures with our siblings.
Today we worked our way through Washington and Oregon. It was a pretty grey and dismal day but still the scenery was stunning. At least there wasn’t any snow!
Speaking of snow, I probably should be humbly apologizing to all those Snowbirds before me, for rolling my eyes all those years ago when my parents talked of their “snowbird” friends. I distinctly remember thinking never,ever, am I going to refer to myself as a Snowbird. Fast forward 20 years and I’m perfectly happy to be labelled a Snowbird! Funny how things change.
Although we are travelling with our little house on our backs, we will enjoy the comforts of hotels until we reach Las Vegas, Nevada. Last year, in Jackpot Nevada, our hot water system, even though it was fully winterized with RV antifreeze, froze and cracked. An important lesson was learned after an expensive and time consuming repair. We’ve now learned to alter our route on the fly, to take account of any sub zero temperates. So until Las Vegas, because it’s too cold for this Princess to sleep in her Glamper, it’s Motel 6 or Super 8’s for us! I need hot water and a warm bed. Once in Las Vegas, where the temperatures will be above zero, I will gladly glamp!
