We endured the long 3-leg journey from New Zealand, via Tahiti to the States. We were so glad to be off that plane!
We arrived just in time to experience a major ice storm and subsequent snow event which pretty well shut things down around the area. We managed to loose power only once for a couple of hours - so we were lucky considering others in the area were without power for 4 days.
Our luck played out with the weather, and also with the car. No, it started without a hitch - it was a fender bender! We managed to drive for 5 months on the left side of the road through thousands of miles in Australia and New Zealand without a hitch. As soon as we get in the car to go visit Justin and Peyton, stopped at a stop sign waiting for traffic to clear so we could make a turn, BAM! A pick-up truck in front of us decided to back into the front of our car and buckle the hood and break the hood latch. After plenty of phone calls and a couple of estimates, we have a check in hand for the repairs and will be off to the body shop on Monday. It just had to be.....
We have managed to get the Bus out of storage. It started like a champ and all seems to be working as we left it. Over the next couple of weeks we'll get the old gal restocked and hit the road heading for warmer weather. We've promised to stay in Indiana long enough to watch the boys during Spring Break so Heather and Mike can take a mini-vacation to Gattlinburg. They deserve a break too.
As soon as we've fulfilled that commitment we'll head South for annual appointments - then back to the midwest - if the weather cooperates.
