Trip Log

November 25, 2023

We had Stanley Steamer clean the carpets on the 16th coordinated by Jeff. We had our first tour of the house when we arrived on the 17th and made a list of the changes needed. Starting with a good cleaning. We left the Florida house spotless and patched all the holes.

Left Florida on Tuesday morning to start the journey of four 500-mile days to Gilbert, Arizona. North on I-75 then west on I-10 to Biloxi, Mississippi for the first night. Wednesday morning, west on I-10 to Seguin, Texas just east of San Antonio for the second night.

In addition to all the packing, staging and prep work we spent the day at Craig and Janet’s on Wednesday the 1st. Had dinner with the Stones on Thursday and with the Fales on Saturday. On Tuesday, a mobile notary came to the house for us to sign all the paperwork for the Arizona closing.

October 30, 2023

Yesterday was the last day of Sunday Golf here in the Villages. We have golfed every Sunday with the same group since we arrived except when we were travelling.

October 21, 2023

We have sold our house so things have been very hectic around here. We received an offer on the first of October. After back-and-forth negotiations, we settled on a deal at a fair price and we had moved the requested closing date back to December.

September 30, 2023

Open houses, showings, doctor appointments and golf have filled up the second half of September. Open houses are for two hours and we need to be out of the house. During one of the open houses we took Mike out to lunch at Ski Beach. He has been singing its praises and we have not been.

September 12, 2023

Left early Monday morning for a six-hour drive to Lorton. The weather and traffic was fine and arrived in plenty of time. It was a good ride and we arrived in Sanford on time. We had only a 40-minute wait for our car and an uneventful ride and arrived home just before noon.

September 10, 2023

Drove to Erie on Wednesday after breakfast and a nice visit with Elyse. We stayed with Bob and Cathy which is very convenient and lets us spend more time with them. We had a chance to visit the dock and drive around the Peninsula.

September 5, 2023

After the morning with Mike, we drove to State College and checked into our motel. Elyse is starting a new job shortly as a community planner for Centre County. She is happy because this was her major/degree at Penn State.

September 4, 2023

Annika left last night because she had to work at the casino today. She is a pastry chef. Mike took us out to his farm for a picnic. After eating and a rest we picked apples, plums and pears from his orchard.
