Ted. Judy and I have just wrapped up a wonderful two months in Athens, Georgia.
As usual, we have spent quality time with family and friends. Also, typical of us, we didn't get to visit with everyone on our list.
On April 2, we signed an 18 month lease on an apartment in Athens. We have relied on part time furnished dwellings like Airbnb for nearly 10 years so this was a big step for us. We are both well into our 70's now and God has granted us great health but having a "permanent" home has given us peace of mind.
Signing up for utilities, filling out change of address forms and furnishing our apartment was a LOT of work but it's all done now. That means it's time to hit the road - quite literally. For this adventure we have enlisted our trusty 2004 Toyota Tundra pickup truck named Raymond.
Our plan is to take about a month to drive north to Montreal, Quebec and then turn around and take another month to drive back to Athens. Along the way, we plan to visit lots of friends and family and explore many cool places that we have never seen before.
For the first leg of our journey, accompanied by our 13 year old grandson, Caedmon we will visit a close friend, Vishal who lives just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After getting to know a little bit about that interesting part of the country, Caedmon will fly solo back to Atlanta where his Mom will pick him up. From there Judy and I will continue on up to New England.
