Is this a real life?

Questions abound. They multiply daily, some get answered while others get pushed aside only to reappear in my next list. I had better not be "too old to learn new tricks"...there are way too many details to cover in order to implement plan B. 

In a previous post I mentioned that the "means" had been purchased. Now with the "RV" waiting, the daily mundane things have to i be addressed. I have a "box full of stuff" to get rid of. Decades of accumulated trinkets will not fit into the RV, regardless of its' size...it came fully loaded to begin with. And, that is only one aspect. The devil is in the details. So many details, so many devils.

So while the minutiae is dealt with I try to organize my escape, to plan "shake down" cruises, to plot my first trek and hope that nothing major escapes my skittering brain.

Escape? Yes. For many Florida is a dream. Sunshine, warmth, beaches, fishing, Disney...Flipper. For me it was doomed-never a chance. Grace and i were here through happenstance, our combined dream crushed by bureaucrats. Never to happen. There was an  abode in Florida where we could dwell. That's exactly what we did, nothing changed. Now I will escape.

What do I want? Need? To participate! To wander! To see! To experience excitement again. Is it an adventure? Am I being foolish? Yes...no...what do I care? It is another path to go down with so many places to revisit and so many more to see for the first time. New people and new experiences, so, yes it must be my new adventure.

Ironically, I'll leave the heat and humidity of Florida to visit Texas! Sure it makes sense because my daughter, Karen and my grandson Bryan are there. We'll finish planning the vacation we'll be taking and I'll see a bit more of the state.

Then on to another chilly city, LA. One of my brothers...Kelly and his family. See some friends out there, visit and more site-seeing. Pick up Karen and Bryan at LAX and off to a, by then, well planned northern vacation ending back in LA.

And then the first "grand trek". This will be pretty much  a free form trip. Time, distance, season and location all to be interplayed into the itinerary. There are some parameters, but that can be done in  a later post.

For me the distance between the points will be measured in time not inches. The longest time will be between the thinking and the doing! The time rolling down the road...mere weights falling from my shoulders. 

Just another "trip of my life"...or just a fantasy?
