After years of raising a family, working in education and social services, volunteering in community building programs we are going to do something for ourselves - take a three month trip in our small RV, a Pleasure Way van. The idea arose from a three week trip we took last year in which we found our relationship flourishing when the pressures of life were reduced to where will we stay that evening and what time we'll start in the morning. We had time for each other and found, even after 41 years of marriage, we still liked being in each other's company. It was similar to dating again, but without sophomoric stunts of those days long ago. Thank goodness I have matured some.
THE PLAN is to start driving north from our home is Southern Oregon and turn right when we feel like it. The trip East will have no preconceived form except to turn right once again when we are imminently threatened by an ocean in front of us. We hope to return home around December 1st with a load of memories, a ton of new experiences and a permanent smile on our faces.
Travels with Cheryl will begin once we stop generating lists of things to do, lists of things not to do, lists of things to take, lists of things to learn how to do without and lists of lists that still have to be made.
