9:45pm
We just got into Tennessee. We’re a bit behind schedule. We were supposed to be in Memphis by now and in AR by noon tomorrow to pick up the new pup. We pulled into a comfort inn to borrow wifi but still unable to upload pics. We’ll do it as soon as we can.

Here are some pics of the RV "resort" we stayed at.



We had to hook in our RV to dispose of waste, get fresh water and recharge our battery. The big grey tube is where our poop falls out.

Jerry chill’n in the RV



Shenandoah Valley

11:00am
We pulled into THE ENDLESS CAVERNS RV RESORT somewhere in the Shenandoah Valley located in between W Virginia and Virginia (you know...the place where great epic Civil War Battlefield reenactments take place) to reload on propane, battery and de-winterize the vehicle and drop off our poop. It’s a beautiful sunny 50+ degrees out. We’re going to take a hike in the woods near the RV camp and tour some crystal caverns. (since we’re in the woods, wifi is very spotty will upload pics when we can)

Jerry Ed - Not Crystal Caverns, this ain't Final Fantasy. But I do believe its a Batcave minus Bruce Wayne. We'll have pictures shortly.

11:51pm
Just got into Maryland and it’s raining very heavily. Very scary driving an RV in torrential rains. That castle looking thingee in the background is a mormon temple.




12:19am
We’re in Maryland and met up with some friends for dinner at Hollywood Diner in Rockville, MD. (pics to come)

4:22am
Just pulled into a random Marriott hotel to “borrow” parking and wifi. We’re calling it a night. Nite peepz.

Just picked up RV after getting lost in jersey looking for the RV center. Going back to my brother’s house to load up the RV and got stuck in mall traffic in jersey.

Here's the RV we got.



5:05
Stuck in another mall’s traffic in Hackensack by my brother’s house. Ugh…this sucks.

6:07
Just finished loading up the RV. We’re finally on our way. Bye New York…I mean…New Jersey.

Big Day

The Plan: Wake up at 7 (to avoid mall traffic). Leave and pick up the RV by 9. Load up and leave NY by 12.

What Actually Happened: Jerry spent the night coughing and never really slept. The RV dealer won't let us pick up the RV till AFTER 1pm.

It's now 11:15am and i hear horns blaring outside. The mall has been open since 5am for post christmas returns and we're still sitting at home waiting for our ride to Jersey. Great start to a much anticipated trip.
