Hi All: Well it is departure date today. We have had a little problem last week and was concerned about being able to go on this trip. I had a GI bleed and spent a few days in the hospital. First they thought I had a kidney stone, and then the Pancreas problem, then an ulcer, and all the test showed that all of that was OK. Finally went in the large intestine and found a diverticulis area that was the cause of the problem. It had fixed itself so they sent me home last Friday. All is well now and we are leaving this morning for our planned trip. Had to cut the first part of the trip down, and won't be able to visit Bob and Dorene Boardman, and Amy's brother Tom in Delaware on the way to New Castle. Have reservations at a campground in Rose Point on 1 August, so we will be able to make that date. Gives us three days on the road to get to New Castle.

Still have a lot to do this morning to get ready. I have a doctor's appointment to give me a clean bill of health for the trip at 0830, and we will leave as soon as I get back from that. Also still have a list of things we need to get loaded in the motor home. Amy will continue doing that while I'm gone, and I will finish when I get back. Kind of busy around here this morning. It's 0500 now and I woke up and could not get back to sleep, so decided to get up and get things going.

Will add another post when we get to Savannah, GA this evening.. Hope to start having some photo's to add the blog.
