RV envy

It was time to have Christmas with our oldest son and his family, so off to New York we drove. For the first time there was no "lake effect" snow blowing in Erie, PA (the cold air blowing across the warm waters of Lake Erie can create some tremendous snow storms along I-90) and we had Patricia Cornwall's "Traces" audio book playing to occupy our minds. But the audio book was not enough to distract us from the sight of all the fifth-wheels and motorhomes heading south (they are the smart ones!)

Any full-time or mostly full-time RVer will be able to explain the term "hitch-itch" to you; it's the desire or need to be in a new place. It's not the physical act of driving, but waking up to a new vista outside your window in the morning that is alluring. After almost two months of being in one spot the desire to be on the road again is almost a physical ache and as much as we love our family we are so ready to be "on the road again" as Willy Nelson would sing.

Soon...
