We departed Beverly at 11:45AM, after a sad goodbye to Aaron. We're not quite sure how he is going to handle our being away for the next three months. To begin the day, he was quite helpful assisting with the loading of last-minute items for the trip. However, when the time came to start the motor home and back it out of the driveway prior to hooking up the car, he became quite sullen and withdrawn. After hugs and kisses and "I love you's", we finally got under way. We called him this evening, and his spirits were "high". He will be tracking our journey on the big map in his room. Tonight, he is putting a big "smiley face" on NY!
The first leg of the trip took us to Verona, NY (about 300 miles), where we are spending the night at the Turning Stone Casino and Resort. The problem here is that the parking lot for RVs and trucks is about 1/2 mile down the road from the Casino. There is a shuttle bus service which patrols the parking lots for visitors wishing to get to the casino, but it only comes by about once every hour or so. Consequently, we will spend the first night in the RV and hopefully get an early start tomorrow AM.
Be sure to check back daily. We will try to post an entry each evening, after we settle in for the night. We will also be posting pictures/videos here eventually. That should save everyone time and space, since you will only have to visit the blog page to view them. We may also put them up on Picasa, but we will let you know via an e-mail if we do that.
