Mission Accomplished Day 1

He said ----- Finally the call.   After almost to the date one year after deposit ProReNata is birthed. List of things and stuff to gather.. basic get home RV supplies oneway airline tickets  hotel reservations personal stuff  double check charges on all electronic gear re-read Owners manual (in case of test at factory) Off to airport Tuesday June 17th.  Relatively smooth ride to sunny SoCal. June 18th, 2014 Call Todd  for 8:00 AM pickup to Mothership Spend morning learning ALL the motorhome's systems Finally finish, sign, and exchange final check -- ProReNata is officially ours at 12:45 PM. We met official ICC driver.  (We need to take delivery out of state to avoid California sales tax).  Its about 1:15 PM or so when we leave the factory. Stop for gas -- painfully add 25 gallons of Cali gas for $98 and change. OK time for mad dash for the Nevada border. Around 5:00PM ish we meet the notary - sign all the official documents - take physical possession. Food, gas and off like a pack of turtles.   Got 1500 or so miles ahead to get her home.

She said ----- PHEW!!!!! We are home! A lot of miles, a steep learning curve (first night hooking up in the almost dark) and the best part? Safe and sound in our driveway!

The call ......

Received the call from the factory.  The  motorhome will be ready for pickup June 18, 2014. 

Plan the trip down.   Get airlines tickets.  Get hotel rooms.  Get travel money.   Gather the parts and pieces.      Pack luggage.    Ship what you can't put in carry ons.  Put house in order.  Plans for upkeep on noble cats.  

Wow - its almost been one year waiting.  Just a few more days.
