Hello All,
At long last I managed to get my photosite album up to date.(more or less).
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showgallery.php?cat=3432
It's not that I haven't been working on the coach for the last few years, it
is more that it has been a very chaotic last few years. Not only did I have
to get the coach roadworthy, I also had to prepare my bussiness for the new
owner, and make plans for our life after the sale. We finaly are there: the
coach rolls, the bussiness has been sold. We have retired!!!!
As for our plans for the future: Thinking about NOT being tied to a place to
earn a living we realized we can go annywhere we like. Long story short: As
we like a new challange in life, we decided to move to New Mexico. We like
the climate and the open space, as well as the atmosphere. Last year we
bought a beatifull house about 30 miles south of Santa Fe, on 30 acres. That
should give us ample space to do the things we like. We plan to build a good
workshop for me, to work on the coach, and a ceramics workshop for my wife,
to keep us from mischief.
Our visas came through end of december, so we're all set to go.
The movers will come in on Feb. 9 to pack a huge container with all our
stuff and ship it out on the 11th.
The GMC will be shipped out on Feb. 9th. It is used to seatravel by now.
We will fly, with our dog, on Feb 28th to Washington, pick up the coach in
Baltimore and drive west. This will give us a chance to see a part of the
country we have never been in. We'll take about 2 weeks to cover the
distance. It will give us time to recover from the emotions and exhaustion
from the last few months, as well as time to see the sights. Sure hope the
coach will hold up well. If not, the Black list is in the laptop, so you,
along the way, are warned. We hope to meet a lot of you at the rally's we
intend to attend in the future.
