We finally made it to the US with our dog and cat - no easy task. The amount of mis-information or better said amount of missing information one receives about this process is frightening. Let's just say that after having the cat put through the scanner twice in her carrier, having to stow her in the overhead compartment during take off and landing and receiving the dog in the luggage pick-up area with the crate mattress on her head, I'm not sure I'll try this again. Plus after having a dog in dog friendly Switzerland where she is welcome almost anywhere, we were more than happy to find a dog friendly hotel but shocked to find she wasn't welcome anywhere else with the exception of Pets Mart. A learning experience for all of us.
Saturday we will be taking off to drive from Chicago to Missoula, Montana where we will take possession of our Earth Roamer RV and will start our 9 month tour of the US. This is the beginning of a new challenge as we each only have one duffle bag of clothing with us. For a shop-a-holic being unable to buy anything due to storage space along the way will be a chalenge to say the least. Plus as someone who takes pride in her appearance, I don't revel in the fact that I will soon be looking like Erma Bombeck attempting to create new outfits out of a finite number of pieces. I will try to be equal to the challenge......

Oh Sue, it is not the clothes that make you attractive, your personality, your upbeat spirit, the mood - well, just YOU. I bet it will be fun (most of the time). Just relax and enjoy ;-)
ReplyDeleteCheers, Henry (and regards to Joe too)
I agree that it not the clothes that make you who you are BUT I am sorry, I couldn't do it and I can't imagine you with only one duffle bag of clothes for 9 months! We're going to have to figure something out....maybe when buy new clothes you can mail some of the ones you already have to your family and then they will feel like 'new clothes' again when you get back! If there is a will there IS a way!
ReplyDeleteJoe's blog said that maybe you will see the same situation differently! I can't wait to hear all about it - from both of you! Let the adventure begin!!!
So sorry to hear about the traveling...it is bad enough for humans but obviously even worse for poor Lucky and Nera
Safe travels!
Heather
Will keep you in my thoughts and look forward to your continued commentary of your adventures abroad. Have fun Doris
