Getting Ready

Less than three weeks to the 25th--the date we've chosen to start our travels with Mohita.

We're setting this blog up for friends and family who might want to know what we're doing on our motor home adventure. The 22 foot motor home was originally a rolling clubhouse for our flyball team and it spent many weekends traveling to tournaments with as many as 9 dogs and 6 people. Last year Harry and I bought out the rest of the team and we plan to head south with our border collies, Geordie and Maggie, to visit friends and former students in Mexico and explore that fascinating country.

The flyball group called the motor home the "moho" but we decided to put a Spanish twist on it and have rechristened her "Mohita." She's just a little thing, although a tad wide in the rear! Roomy enough for us we think. We've now set a departure date of January 25th, which gives us less than three weeks to get ready. There are more details than I ever imagined to getting away from our regular life for two or three months. But I'm sure we'll manage it. This photo shows Mohita in the snow at Abbotsford on December 1st where we were at our last flyball tournament. Since then we've installed a backup camera, made curtains and pillows and stocked her with some cooking utensils and camping books. Starting to get excited.

d'ya need root beer to make mohitos? Or is it mojitos? Regarding, la biblioteca, we're going to bring around 7 books to read and trade. I hope that's enough, and think it will be. We'll be too busy exploring!
