FINAL RETURN . . . BACK TO REALITY
Today we set out to just drive to southern Georgia - about six hours. Once in Georgia and seeing the temperature hit 99* in Perry we made the decision to drive the full twelve hours home in one day. We really don't like doing this but if we had made a stop in Georgia with the heat . . . what we would have done is plug in the power to the Airstream and sit inside. I would prefer to do that at home. We arrived home just before 8 PM and knew our decision made to come home a few days early was the right thing to do.
Once home we were welcomed by a stack of mail, bills, magazines, email, heat, humidity and mosquitoes. A few things you all did not know while we were gone was we had not watched any television while we were gone (reality escape). There is a flat screen in the Airstream but we had no desire to even turn it on. When we finally turned one on upon our return home we realized we had not missed anything . . . including that Casey Anthony Show that is being shown live on all the major networks during the day here. We are very thankful for the upper cable channels.
There is a lot for us to unpack, clean and re-pack over the next few days. The interior of the Airstream got completely coated with dirt from our travels. That leads me to the other thing you all did not know . . . the AC. We either had no power or not enough power during our entire time gone to run the AC. So the windows stayed open and the interior is now very dusty. Today we figured the AC in the Airstream was only used for two days during this entire trip of three weeks. With that being said we are great full to be home in Florida in air conditioning.
After we get settled back in our house Tim will be returning to the fire station this weekend and I will be heading back to the studios in a few weeks to 'live the dream' as we say in my world. I soon hope to recap the book I read previously by Steinbeck - TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY in Search of America before moving on to my next read TRAVELS WITH MAX in Search of Steinbeck's America Fifty Years Later by Gregory Zeigler. I picked up the later from Greg while at Alumapalooza. Tim & I will get back on finishing up the new additions to our house and all the other chores needing to be done.
This adventure was amazing and we had the best time ever. Again our travels have not let us down and we can't wait for the next trip. I hope this has inspired others to travel more . . . as I know many others who have inspired us to do the same. The bucket list of possibilities continues to grow with every one we meet in our journeys.
Until then . . .
Dream it. Plan it. Live it.
