The Van Heads West

Just a quick update today. We've never been as busy as in the last few days - and that's going to continue until we get settled in out at the coast.

Kirk left at 2:15 this morning, to take the van out to Victoria. His buddy has arranged to park the van until we all get out there in about 2 weeks. Kirk called me at 2 this afternoon and said he's in Hope ... he's thinking that's as far as he wants to go today. He'll get a motel room for the night, and complete the drive in the morning. Knowing him, he'll be on the road again by 2 tomorrow morning and be in plenty of time for the first ferry.

Kirk took this picture of the Kicking Horse Pass this morning. And, yes, he was pulled over and parked to take the photo and to send it to me. He doesn't play with his phone while driving. LOL

I've just been thinking - Kirk and I have both moved before, more than once. But, all of that was before we met. This time around, we're moving together. And, that's a good thing.

Step by step

Step by step, little by little ... our plan is moving forward. Yesterday, we completed the purchase of the motorhome; we get to bring her home on Saturday, July 6. In the meantime, our new home-on-wheels will be in the shop, getting prepped for us*. On Saturday, we will be given an in-depth orientation. Bumper to bumper and roof to tires - we'll be shown all the features and taught how to operate all the bells and whistles. After that, she's ours!

So, three more sleeps until we bring our new 'baby' home. During that time, we'll begin to get ready for our move. Of course, once she's here, packing for the move will mean putting what we need into The Underprise.

Yes, we named the motorhome. It was Kirk's idea, but I like it. Her name is:

USS Underprise - NCC 1701 - FU

*this doesn't mean there's anything wrong with her. It's the policy of the dealership that all the units they sell be checked out in the shop before the new owners drive them off the lot. The shop folks just make sure that everything is in top-notch condition and ready for use.
