La vie en rose

We've been packing and preparing like crazy this past week. And we cleaned and polished the car last Wednesday. Our little gem is shining like a pearl! Only a few more things to do before we're off.

 I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow - want a specialist to look at something that looks very much like the (benign) cancer that was removed last year, so we won't leave until tomorrow afternoon. Had planned to reach the West Coast in the afternoon, but we won't get there until Tuesday. Travelling fast with an RV is a bit of an ordeal. Shaken, not stirred...

The route this year is approximately

Gothenburg (relatives)
Malmoe (friends)
The bridge to Denmark, stay the night at Middelfart (I kid you not, don't know what it means but I'm sure it doesn't mean what you think!)
Transit through northern Germany and the Netherlands
The Loire Valley (castles and wine!)
Home via Bernkastel in the Moselle Valley in Germany and our favourite Riesling wines, Lauerburg
Hope to stay two nights in Koblenz, great camping site and this time I want to explore the town and the castle on top of the cliff

And, as usual, Viktor is "house-sitting" and taking care of plants, lawn and burglars.

This year, I hope to do all my updates on my old little laptop. I wrote everything on my cell phone last year and it almost drove me crazy. am keeping my fingers crossed that this will work...

Ready to go!
