The Maiden Voyage

The Maiden Voyage!

Like a kid at Christmas time – I could hardly sleep the night before leaving for our trip to Cedar Key.   By 3am I was wide awake and having coffee to get started with the day.  By the time James got home at 7am after his shift, I had stocked the pantry, showered, washed and dried my hair and was ready to load up and go.  

But, loading up and hitching up for the first time required  some time and patience. We had to carefully put the weight distributing hitch back on, load up the bikes and grill, and check and re-check to make sure that we weren’t forgetting anything.  Finally, at noon we were ready to roll out!  

Exhausted ( James hadn’t slept much either) and excited….we hit the road for the first time.  The road trip went smoothly and after stopping in Ocala for lunch, we were rolling into Low Key Hideaway at 4PM.  

Backing the rig up was a learning experience.  I didn’t really know how to direct James …but I quickly received some pointers from Cindy ( one of the owners of LowKey who is a very experienced RVer). We leveled the rig, set up the waterline, sewer line without any issues.  It felt good to actually be out setting up for real, instead of just planning.

After setting up we made our way to the famous Low Key Hideaway Tiki Bar and celebrated our arrival.  This is going to be a great trip!
