Tuesday will end a chapter for us, as we'll be parked more than 20 miles from Fred and Vickie for the first time since early December. Strange as it sounds for the two of us who've been on the road since 2010, it's a little hard to imagine.
We've met their family, they've met ours. We've met their friends, they've met ours. We've shared meals, drinks, shuffleboard, hearts, euchre, spades and more laughs than should be allowed. We've each heard each other's 'stories' probably more than once.
Almost everywhere we've been, we've made friends. Some we keep in close contact with, probably the majority we don't. One of the things we thought from boating that would carry over would be the relationships that we made at each Boat Club, each port town. RV'ing is so transient, that it doesn't work nearly as well or as often. However, we still have to realize we're in our infancy of fulltiming, and many of those boating relationships happened after visiting the same place time after time.
This weekend will be our last for quite awhile, and I'm sure it will be full of more memories. Then, Tuesday, they'll head East while we head North on Wednesday.
We plan on meeting up again this October, wintering again 'somewhere' in South Texas again. Between now and then will probably keep in closer contact than any of our other acquaintances along the road to date.
So this long chapter isn't really ending, it's really to be continued later. So far, though, it's been hard to put down.
