Our Odyssey: Bus report

Our Odyssey: Bus report.  I think you should market as the "goofy bus". When I shared this with Devin he said"I wish Icould but that bus and drive it around". Out of the mouths of teenagers... Infinity Coach ...

A day at SEMA

Got up this morning and the SUN was out...........what a delight!!!! So our plan today was to go to the SEMA show...I planned ahead and made our dinner in the crock pot as I knew that we would be tierd when we would get home. So we got ready and tried to leave and the truck had a flat tier. Thank goodness Bob had a compressor..so we were able to air up the tier. Off to find a shop to fix it......after three stops because they couldn't do it right now and wanted us to either buy a new one or it was going to be a couple hour wait. Remember...we had plans......so off to SEMA and we decided we would take the compressor and be prepaired for all situations.
We took the monerail to the convection center. So much to see and look at one is a little overwhelmed!!! After 5 hours there are feet hurt........and so tierd. We met with some rep's.....Bob was pretty amazed with all the stuff. I did fail one job.......that was taking pictures of all the "girls"...hard to believe that you have to have girls with big "boob's" to sell aftermarket stuff!!!!!!
Bob is trying to learn about the tv stuff. Of course when we got here our DVD decided to go "south" ....no not in a traveling way but in "I am not going to work" way. So we will have to get back on how this all goes together.

We have a new president today!!!!!

We have a new president for the United States today.......Obama will be our 44th presdent. It is a time to look forward!!!

We arrived in Las Vegas today. Infact we went to dinner and the funny part of this town was it is election day however, the slot tournament still was going in the casino and on the tv it was about sports not election information. Go figure...only in Las Vegas. The weather is a little windy but the SUN IS OUT!!! Just can't get any better than this.

Finally on the road

Ok...we said we would be leaving on the 1st........and we only missed it by 2 days..We had a lot to do in those 2 days. Mostly cleaning up the coach and getting it back to liveable. The boys in the shop came through on all our projects. Bob had made his list and checked it twice and they really did a great job. But like all projects they needed to end and the packing began. Of course Bob worked on all the outside projects and I did the inside. The worst was it was at the shop so that meant bringing everything down in boxes. But by Saturday night it was mostly finished...and the best way of dealing with everything was my "piece of mind" to keep telling myself that if I forgot it I would just have to go and buy it!!! So that was Saturday. Then on Sunday we had a "good bye breakfast " with Steve and Jane...(hopefully they will be coming down to visit in January or February) and then in the afternoon we played with the boys. First off grandpa got the quad and let them ride them around the shop. But of course the sky opened up and rained on their parade...but boys will be boys and they just kept riding. Good thing that grandma thought ahead and brought clean clothes. After the quad ride we went bowling. I hate to admit it but their scores were better than ours!!!! Off to Mexican dinner to celebrate our leaving with them and then returned them to Jim and Cathy's to say our good byes. It is hard for Devin to say goodbye but I told him I would be doing this blog and that we would email daily!!! All we got from Korban was "when are you coming back"....he was off to take a shower and that was that!!!
We got on the road at 4:58 (Bob pulled out of Infinty Coacch)...We met up with rain and more rain but the sun did shine on us alittle at a time. The time on the road gives us time to talk.......and we did do a little of that!!!! We traveled for 12 hours and now are in Well's Neveada. Our friend David wants us to visit the liquor store here to say "hi" to a biker friend. We had dinner in the Casino...and the way I look at it when you stay at a casino for "free" I had to spend money in the Casino...so I think the night cost us about $30.00 in all.........Oh we did get free drinks........

September 2008

Ok.......I know it has been a year....but a lot has happened. But we need to start fresh and begin September 2008 as our adventure begins.
We are making our plans ...infact the funny part of all of this is in October I am doing TWO classes on traveling in Mexico. I guess I need to share what I "don't know". But as we all say....it's a good thing.
I will try and continue this Blog so our family and watch us as we go "from infinity to beyond"

Our adventure will start....soon!!

Today we headed out to find a four wheeler........now lets face it .....we don't know what we want but we know we both want to ride on it. So the one we looked at was not in good shape so tomorrow we are heading to Portland to look at a new one........Keep your figures crossed. This is the beginning of our adventure to Mexico again .........
