Spring Training 2019 - Day 0

Once again, we are heading out on another Philles Spring Training adventure.

We are leaving on Monday, February 4th, heading south, then east.  Our first stop will be at Bakersfield, CA for the night.  We will then evaluate the weather and decide if we will be driving through Tehacapi or the Grapevine to Palm Desert, CA for three nights.  We prefer to avoid the LA Basin if possible.

It will be a busy week getting ready:  we have  the Friends of the Library book sale on Saturday with our Rotary Club fundraiser, Casino Night, on Saturaday night.  Sunday is a Super Bowl party then final packing.

Florida Spring Training 2018 - Day 0-1

Day - 0 Sunday -Today was Super Bowl Sunday with a party at a friends house.  It was also the day after a very busy Rotary fundraiser for our club (Casino Night) and the Friends of the Library book sale on Saturday where I worked until mid morning. And, Judy's sciatica was slowing her down quite a bit.

Sunday was also our trip preparation day to get the RV ready and loaded, pack, and button-up things before leaving.  Well, that didn't work very well as we still had a lot to do before the end of the day.

Day - 1 Monday - We got up at 5:00 am and gave it our best shot on getting ready. However, when 4:00 pm came around and after we had worked hard to get everything ready and still weren't quite done, old person caution kicked in and we decided a 6:00 drive to Paso Robles at that point would not be a good idea.  So, we went to bed and planned for an early departure on Tuesday morning.
