2019 On the Road Again--Let's go to Arizona for the Winter and see the southwest

Shannon was a very nice salesperson and loved this model as
much as we did.

When we looked at going west in late December and early January, Fitz insisted that weather would be a big worry--we had not left Nashville this late in the winter before but we were going so far that the cost of flying home for Christmas and the thought of missing Christmas in Nashville were unacceptable so we took the chance. The day after Christmas we took off for the great adventure west--it was cold but not raining so we felt lucky. First stop was Arkadelphia, Arkansas, Walmart, then on to Fort Worth, Tx. In Fort Worth, we went to look at the RV of our dreams which offered bunk beds, an additional slide and an upgrade all the way around. Right now we are fine traveling in our present RV--it is really perfect for the 2 of us but after this year we hope to travel more with family and friends and it would sure be nice to have guest accommodations.


An RV with bunkbeds and an extra slide--not sure it will fit in the driveway--we dream.

Leaving out of Fort Worth, a check of the weather had a severe cold front moving through so we sorta slow walked the rest of the way to Yuma to avoid rain and SNOW!!! We spent the night in an RV park in Abilene, then Van Horn (3 days just to cross Texas). Then we stayed at Walmart in Tucson before coming into Westwind RV in Yuma midday on New Years Eve. It is cold (much to disgust of Fitz) but the people of Yuma (by those who decree such) promise that this cold spell is an anomaly --as a matter of fact Yuma is said to be the sunniest town in America. We shall see.

We have finally found the cactus that are in the movies!
