First Day of the Trip

A BOAT...that is what it feels like.
My brother had dropped me of yesterday at the RV place and we had a grand tour of the RV. In reality it was more like dummys introduction to RVing. Anyway here I am on the Masspike driving this RV trying desperatley to fit the RV between the two white lines. For those who know about the Masspike there is a streach of road close to the Natick exit that is subject to high crosswinds. Now put someone who hasnt driven an RV in that situation. It was more like a first timer taking out his boat....
Finally after getting stuck in traffic for 2 hours I finally reached New Jersey and got my first meal of the day. Couple of hours later I got to the venue of the pot luck and found a really low turnover. We were dissapointed of course, but we decided to utilize this oppurtunity to break in the RV. We have the pot luck right in the RV itself!!!! What a way to start the trip!!! AND we raised 140 dollars.
By the time I picked Sree from New York, it was late in the night so we decided to halt at New Jersey tonite and start fresh early morning tomorrow morning.
