Ring In the New Year.......Time for New Adventures

It's the start of a New Year, so I thought we would take a trip together ...for all you snow bound bunnies, on your mark, get packed, let's go. First, will stop off and pick up our mode of transportation!!!! That's right, you guessed it a totally decked out RV. For all you Designer's out there reading this, yes, we get to Decorate the RV. Design it in your own taste, including dishes, furniture and Bedding of your choice!!! Yeah. ( Maybe this will be a contest later!!)

Road trip........we are going to take off a few months and travel the States and stop where ever we like and stay as long as we like. Why, because this is my story and we can! So let's get out our maps, and high lighters and Go. Our starting point will be Charleston, SC The RV is packed and ready , we're heading North West on Interstate 26 to Asheville, North Carolina, there's not much to see on this drive through S.C., we're just trying to make good time to get to NC.

I see we are approaching the N.C. border, as altitude is climbing drastically before my eyes. We are now entering the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, called the Piedmont.

We climb from sea level to an elevation of 3,000 to 4,000 feet. I look on both sides of our RV while we wind around our first large mountain, just north of Spartansburg, heading towards Hendersonville. I'm grasping the arm of my chair while I look over the guard rail at the majestic beauty of this pine covered mountain. I own 3.5 acres in this Neck of the Woods (as they say her in N.C.) so we will stop for the night, after our short 4.5 hr. drive and enjoy the Hills. My acreage sits atop Stroud Mountain. We drive up the mountain and park the RV. I'm very excited to start up the generator and cook a great meal. Tonight, we will eat a la Fresca, over looking the Blue Ridge Mountains.....it's almost dusk, we may see a wild turkey or peacock.

We set up camp with our table and chairs. He opens the wine and we wait for sunset. The deer start peeking out from the pine forest. We watch the moon rise, as we talk non stop, at almost a whisper, taking in this breathless moment. I can't help but notice the stars coming out, as we finish our wine. We head into our beautifully appointed RV, and make love all night.

This is the End Of Part I. I hope I have caught your attention. Check back in a day or two for

Part II or as we sometimes like to call it "On the Road Again" just can't wait to get back on the Road again.
