Getting back into the car to finish the 270 miles was not fun.  We were both glad that we only had a few hours in the car. It was well worth driving 12 hours on the first leg, leaving us a little over 4 hours to get to Inverness.  

Mark and Karen greeted us at the driveway, and after chit chatting for a bit it was time to open up the motorhome and unload the car.  Walking up to the motorhome, we found a surprise that they left for us.

Mark & Karen decorated the RV while we were gone.  They managed to find the only metal surface and covered it with magnetic stickers.  There actually a lot more stickers but they had to put them on the carport walls.  

While making our plans for this trip, a day and a half seemed like plenty of time to get the RV ready to head out.  After all we just spent 10 weeks in it, and we only went back to New Jersey for a month.  While it was enough time we did need all of it.  We  spent the rest of the afternoon unloading the car, and putting everything in the car away.  

I started Monday at the local Chevrolet dealer, getting the car serviced.  We tried to get it done in New Jersey but the first available appointment was at the end of this week well after we left.   Next on the agenda was washing both the car and the motorhome.  The motorhome was extremely dirty and most campgrounds do not allow you to wash vehicles. 

The next piece of the puzzle was grocery shopping, and picking up some last minutes stuff we needed in the RV.  Most of the shopping consisted of  fresh food and perishables.  One of the advantages of travel in an RV instead of a boat, is we have our cars with us, so shopping will never be a problem.  We still like to stock up before we leave.

Once both RV's were packed and ready Mark & I sat down and went over tomorrows route.  We set up our navigation app so the parameters and our routes were the same.

Tomorrow we start making our way to Dutton Alabama.
