Easy?
Well…not so....When we headed off in Adagio..we kissed our peeps goodby..telling them we were off to sail the seven seas...after a time we returned triumphant..but after all the work and time and effort we put into Adagio last year, Pierre confessed to me that he was tired of working on a boat all the time and he wanted to see more of the U.S.A.
He has worked on ships for 30+years and has been around the world 6 times, seen lots and lots of the world by sea.
So we are starting a new adventure, I for one have never seen the Stature of Liberty, the Grand Canyon, The Redwoods, Yellowstone National Park, the list just goes on and on…I do want to see all these things, I want to fish in for salmon in Alaska, dig for clams and eat lobster in Maine, go to Canada, the more I think about it and the more I read, the list just keeps getting longer and longer!!
We figured we should catch up on the land bucket list for awhile before we buy another boat.
Planes, trains and automobiles, not to mention hotels, motels, and restaurants would bankrupt us in a very short time before we even began to see some of this great land of ours, so what happened??
an RV…. thats what! We can take our time, hit the hot spots and we have our bed, head and galley with us everyday!!
A land Yacht!
It was not our original plan to buy and RV, but how many of you know how original plans don't always work out? Can I get some hands?? (I see that hand)
Now I did a bit of research, and those of you that know me know how much I love to make plans and research things and we needed a lot of research because we know nothing about buying and RV or the RV lifestyle. I started out by casually "browsing" our local online classified sources, Craigslist, RV trader and local papers…and sure enough, in time, I found the perfect one for us…it was hiding in Seale Alabama…of all places….Who Knew???
We are now the proud owners of a Holiday Rambler Imperial, she is 38ft long and powered by a Cummins 350 Diesel engine with a Allison 6 speed transmission.
We are only the second owners. She's a beauty!
I named her Esprit, in French that means "Free Spirit"
after all.. that is what we are!
I am going to share all the fun we have and all the surprises, mistakes, the whole sha-bang!
