Day 2 of the Journey: St. Cloud, FL

I think today we can really, truly say that this is our new home.  The funds from the sale of the house cleared the bank, so we went there to arrange a wire transfer to the seller's account.  Purchase complete.  We purchased the insurance policy, so later in the afternoon we went to DMV and had the vehicles registered and put the plates on.

We took our first rides in the Bull.  Let me tell you, it was nothing like riding a bull.  This machine may be strong like a bull, but it rides really smooth.  My only problem is that the step is very high for me:

 I don't mind the climb up so much, but I'm really afraid of getting down.  It's the same fear as going to the beach -- I'm afraid in my jump down I may turn my leg the wrong way and dislocate my hip again.  I think for the short term I will use a small step stool (just have to remember to take it with me after I climb in!) and later explore options for lowering the step.

On another note, I think Mitch and I developed a cooking routine - he enjoys making breakfast and I make dinner (lunch is usually leftovers).  Yesterday he made (vegetarian) bacon and eggs and garlic toast.  Today was a scrumptious fruit salad (melon, plums & peaches) with yogurt.


While eating breakfast, the cranes were right under our window:

So now Mitch is helping our next door neighbor fix his computer while I not only catch up on emails (I have 2 potential job leads), but I also signed up with a number of RV clubs, and a roadside assistance plan.  I put an itinerary together for next week, assuming we're leaving on Friday morning, but there may be a glitch which moves things a little -- we'll have to think on this.  We need to have the roof resealed.  Kevin knows a guy who will give us a 20 year guarantee (a person I found is only 10) and is a little less expensive.  Unfortunately, he's not available until next week.  We were hoping he'd be free tomorrow.  So do we stay in this area?  Do we visit everyone on the west coast and then return here instead of going to Freddy?  We really need to figure this out!
