Tucson, AZ - Shaking the Jello

RV’ers have a saying: travel plans are like jello: you mix it up, put it into a pan and then into the refrigerator. But, sometimes before it sets, you remember that you forgot the cranberries and walnuts. Oops, but not all is lost, you just take it out of the refrigerator, mix in the pineapple and walnuts, shake it up a bit and put it back into the refrigerator. Well, that’s just what’s happened to us this spring.

We made our plans, we’ve spent lots of time on our journey: places to visit, things to see, campgrounds to stay in, routes to take. Decisions, decisions: we’ve got a map, a list of stops, lost of research of the places we wanted to visit. All set and we’re reserved through next January 1. All we have to do now is drive and enjoy. The jello was in the refrigerator and setting up nicely.
Here’s our plan: travel until July, return to Iowa for August and September and be back on the road heading to the Southwest. Reservations and annual medical appointments all made.

Oops, then we bought a park model with a closing date of 9/29 and the jello needed new shaking. We put together a new plan, new route, new campgrounds, etc. We shook up that jello again and put it into the refrigerator to set.

New plan: travel until July, return to Iowa in August and September, return to Mesa for the closing on 9/29 and begin our projects on our new home.

Oops, then we found out that the current owners are actually moving into their new home mid-May and could close much earlier than 9/29. How about 6/1? OK, We cut off the June and July parts of our trip so we could be back in Mess on 6/1.

Then we shook that jello for the last time (we hope), decided to return to Iowa in April and May instead of August and September, return to Mesa for the closing and stay in Mesa over the summer to make our changes to the house and be ready to enjoy in September - or earlier.

And, that’s our plan and we’re sticking with it. Until we shake that jello again.
