On the road again! June 30, 2016

After a tumultuous April and May, with the sale of our NH home and contents, and the purchase of a new FL home, purchase of a new(er) RV, and managing the logistics of moving 2 cars and an RV to the new home, we're traveling again. We shipped the POD to FL with what was left after we sold or gave away everything else , drove to FL in our larger car,  unpacked when the POD arrived, and then took a few days to breathe. 

The neighborhood where we landed seems to be really welcoming, and there are 3 couples (at least) on the street that hail from NH. The neighbors on either side of us are from NJ and MI. Our property backs up to conservation land, and the first morning in our new digs served up a surprise. We woke to a warm, lovely morning to hear what sounded like people talking in our back yard. Curious, Ray got up to take  look. While he didn't see anything, what he heard out on the lanai was clearly the sound of feral pigs roaming the woods. Apparently we arrived in mating season. So that morning (and a few others), we sat on the lanai, read the paper and listened to the chirping of the birds, and the grunting of the pigs. 

Camped in Corning, NY
Our realtor recommended someone to us that, in our absence, will reliably check on our home twice a week, and is an all-around handyman. He brought us to the airport for our return to NH to pick up the RV (which we left in NH with our small car). 

Now that we have the RV, we are on the road again! First stop is Corning, NY. We're staying in a lovely campground that is quiet and looks out on the hills of NY. Today we are going to the Corning Museum.
