 Life is a journey fought with joy and sorrows. My absence from this blog is because of the sadness in losing my beloved Linda earlier this month. It was almost a years battle with cancer. With Gods Grace I will be on the road again soon. I invite you to travel along. If you are a reader of this blog you remember I ordered a Leisure Travel Van back in March, Thought it would be a great way for us to see the Country. I did have a similar RV in 2007 and indeed was great. Linda's quick decline forced the cancellation of the LTV. Don't know if I will step up to the plate again. I mean RV ownership can have an advantage in camping where you wish - boon docking in particular. But let us explore the financial reality of ownership. The LTV I had on order was $162,000. In rethinking the commitment to buy PLUS the added expense in maintenance; I looked at what that cost is compare to hotels - fine hotels. Not Four Seasons, but rather comfortable hotels. For the cost alone of the LTV that equaits to over 1,000 nights. And NO up keep. Long hot showers, room service and all the rest that goes with a fine hotel. Still reeling from the loss; but looking forward to continued adventures - Cervantes might say: "Sancho, my keys!" So stop back and see where the road leads us. God Bless and go hug your loved ones!
