Things we have learned....

• When you retract a slideout, be sure any rain water has drained off the top, otherwise the water will enter into the RV.
• After about 7 days, the black water (from the toilet) begins to smell. It is recommended that this 40 gallon tank is 2/3 full before being emptied so I guess we need to go to the bathroom more often.
• Our home is awfully dark when all the blinds are pulled, so to enjoy the view, we always open a few. We must remember to close them before undressing for bed.
• Our dogs believe that our sole purpose of this trip is to let them in and out of the door. Sure do miss the doggie door!
• We have found that every time we bump our head, it is against something hard, and it will be there again tomorrow.
• Blogs take time to do, and there's always at least one picture that doesn't open up.
• Russ is much more patient driving the speed limit than he used to be.
• Daily consumption of alcohol is better than we remember.
• Putting 100 gallons of diesel in an RV is expensive!
• Take care opening the refrigerator after you've moved so your salad doesn't end up all over the floor.
• The best photos never turn out.
• It seems like we talk more.....to each other.
• We're still trying to get to Episode 3 of Star Wars.
• People at campgrounds are really friendly especially if you're sitting outside with a cooler next to you.
• The wheels on the bus go round and round.......99.9% of the time forward.
• If it weren't for navigating directions while traveling, we would probably never argue.
• The GPS works great until you need it.
• The GPS doesn't realize that our vehicle is about 60 ft. long while towing, otherwise it would pick easier routes to navigate.
• There is an 8 inch drop off from our bedroom to the bathroom. It is hard to see at night.
• We will probably never use about 40% of the things we have taken with us.
• Two laptops are better than one.
• We need to start eating more at home. You have no idea how convenient fast food is when the option is fixing dinner in an RV.
• Vehicles waiting to turn from a side road always pull in front of the slow moving RV not realizing that slow moving RV is also a slow braking RV.
• Stoplights don't bother us much anymore as they actually help our gas mileage.
• Russ likes to go to bed early and rise early. Susan likes to stay up late and sleep in. Guess we need to work on that a little bit.
