One Month in Our Motorhome

A few days ago we celebrated our one month anniversary in our motorhome.  It became home right away with no adjustment time at all.  We credit that to the really comfortable, roomy and cozy floor plan.  At the RV Shows we heard that  many people stop full-timing after certain milestones – 2 weeks, 2 months, or 2 years.  I think we will pass the 2 month test as easily as we got through the first 2 weeks.  Life here in this motorhome is just wonderful and every day it just gets better.

I thought I would have to adjust to cooking in a motorhome.  It turns out that it was easy too.  In fact I’m loving it!  Yes, there is limited space but it turns out it isn’t too small at all – it’s just more efficient.  And yes, there is no dishwasher but since it’s just the 2 of us, the hand washing of the dishes, pots, pans, etc. takes less than 5 minutes total including drying and putting them away. I’ve even gotten creative, trying new recipes and even baking.  I’m planning on making tons of biscotti and new bread recipes!  I never gave much thought or put much effort into every days meals, but now I search through magazines and the Internet for new recipes.  Doug is pretty happy about this.

On Friday we moved into The Voyager RV Resort on the Far East side of Tucson.  This is a beautiful place to stay with lots to do and friendly, helpful people.  We even had a visit from the Welcome Wagon Greeter today who came with lots of information and even a really nice goody bag.  We’re here for a month so we will definitely take advantage of the activities available.  I’m looking forward to using the sewing room, maybe taking a ceramics class, and working on my craft projects with other like-minded folk.  The weather has been beautiful with higher than average temperatures during the day – in the 80’s, but cool at night.  Our long walk around the resort before dinner was lovely.

And, of course the best part of being back in Tucson is spending time with family and friends.  I went to the Gem and Mineral Show Saturday with my friend and was astonished by how much bigger the Kino site was since just 2 years ago.  It was amazing but also exhausting.  Doug and I had lunch at our favorite Chinese restaurant with Amy yesterday and we’re planning on checking out some Thai places soon.  One of the more exciting events will be helping with our grandson’s first birthday party.  So we’re happy to be in Tucson now.  Soon we’ll start planning our next trip – which eventually will lead us to our stay near Oakland where we will eagerly await the birth of our next grandson.
