It's Here

December 4th - Saturday - Cold and snowy. Low 24 degrees

Lou and I were up at 5:30 am and over to Lou's house to meet Preston and Susie. Preston helped us hook up the car to our old motor home and we were off to Syracuse, NY to pick up our new motor home.

We encountered all types of weather conditions. At one point I called Camping World in Syracuse to check on their weather conditions, they reported they were just to have snow showers, so we continued on and once we reached Geneva, the snow seems to lessen and the roads were in better condition. We arrived in Syracuse at 11:00 am. We walked into Camping World and found a sign welcoming "Emerson Rice", which was a nice touch to our arrival. We were met by a representative that escorted us to the arrival area where we were given a tour of our new home, starting with the outside and ending up inside, where every detail was explained to us.

After, we had agreed everything was as we expected we were shown to the financial area, where in just a few minutes all the final details were taken care of. The men went right to the task of transferring plates, taking the hitch off of the old motor home and installing it on the new home. We had asked for a dust curtain to be installed to keep the stone damage down on our car as it is being towed, so that task was also accomplished. While the men were doing this, we were made comfortable in the waiting room.

In about an hour, the men were in touch with us to tell us they were bringing our old motor home into the garage and placing it next to the new one, so we could transfer our belongings. It wasn't long until Preston, Susie, Lou and I had an assembly line in process and the job was completed by 4:00 pm. A last minute reminder was given to Lou and we were ready to leave for home at 5:00 pm. We had not eaten since breakfast and all of us were ready for a meal, but nothing was found until we were outside of Geneva on the way home. We all agreed we couldn't remember coffee tasting so good.

We traveled home in the snow by good driving conditions. Our towed car looks like it needs a bath before it can be driven!! We arrived back to Lou's house at 9:00 pm. The pictures were took were taken quickly and we will get better ones in the daylight, but many of the family members were anxious to see them.

The next step is to get everything from our house and Lou's house into the RV and sort and put things in their proper place. It will be a chore to warm it all up and have a comfortable area to work in. Hopefully, we can accomplish this quickly and get the new RV back in the barn until we leave for the south the first of February.
