Well, the 5th-wheel trailer finally sold...we are so relieved to be clear of it! It was very comfortable for the winter...and it definitely provided lots of opportunities to learn RV maintenance and repair! I feel much more confident trouble-shooting problems and fixing them when I can...and more experienced calling mobile repair services when I can't.
We are coming to the end of our winter in Manitou Springs. We have moved into the Georgetown motorhome, and are finding it to be all we could hope for. It is so much more spacious than the Class C that we traveled in for two years. I replaced the old CRT TV with a new 32" LCD and hooked it up to our satellite dish, so we can watch either DVDs or Discovery Channel in glorious high-definition. Katie managed to fit almost everything into the kitchen cabinets and closets...with space to spare.
It seems like yesterday that we landed in Colorado Springs (it was December 22!). I have really enjoyed the winter here...the daytime temperatures are quite moderate, and there is so much bright sun. Katie just mentioned that I hadn't had any visits from the "black dog" (Winston Churchill's term for depression), and I credit much of that to the additional light.
So...in slightly more than a week, we will be departing for Canada and Prince Edward Island. We will have a 5x8 U-Haul trailer in tow packed with the last of Katie's "stuff." I know she has mixed feelings about leaving her beloved Colorado behind and striking out into uncharted territory. Hopefully, now that she has her permanent resident status in canada, she will be able to begin to feel at "home" there.
