Resting Among Pennsylvania Magnolias


Considering our recent time spent in Mississippi, it is probably fitting that we should now find ourselves nestled next to a Magnolia tree. As we spend some time in PA before we mosey on down the road, it has been a very nice time to visit family. The weather has been mostly cooperative and we're likely to remain here for another couple of weeks before striking out again to discover what lies beyond the next bend or over the next mountain. Unfortunately, we've begun to question the wisdom of continuing our original plan to spend the Summer months in Alaska. As everyone knows, fuel prices continue to soar and we've made some realistic (and sobering) estimates of the cost of our travel plans and we will continue to monitor the situation while considering alternatives over the coming weeks. We can't help but think that there are others of you in our situation (RVing full time) that are having similar thoughts about now...shorter trips and longer stays in one place. As much as all this may alter some plans, there is no dampening of our enjoyment of this sort of life and all that it has to offer.
