How decadent was the night before? We turned on the AC and watched Short Circuit 2 on the TV, drank wine and ate nuts. No popcorn on the menu, but it’s just because no one thought of it. Megan slept in the RV again, and we buttoned everything up and left the AC on figuring that we would have a very comfortable night. I’m of the age where I travel occasionally in the middle of the night, and I gave no thought to the fact that the AC never cycled all night long. About 8:30 AM we got up, it’s vacation of course, and we saw/heard nothing from the brother or nieces side of the family. Something seemed different, so I checked the outside temperature. 57 degrees! Just a little chilly. I decided that we’d turn the heater on, as the coach was 64 degrees, and cook breakfast inside. Home fries, toast, coffee, tea, OJ, sausages and eggs any style you wanted. The best breakfast in Watkins Glen that morning, if I do say so. Continue reading

US Air Force Museum – Dayton
Air conditioning can make all the difference in the world on a hot muggy night. We both slept like champs. We awoke early and attributed it to sleeping in the cool for the first time in a while. In truth, it was because we set some of the clocks in the RV to CST and were back in Eastern DST. It’s called vacation, so oh well. Continue reading
Mammoth Cave, then on to Ohio
Last night was a beast. We went to sleep at about 9:30 CST which made it late for us at 10:30 EST. The air-conditioning in the RV made it tolerable and I, always the optimist, figured that as the outside temperature dropped, and the inside temperature rose, we would have the lower humidity on our side. Put another check in the wrong column. At midnight it was 82 in the RV with not a breath of air. I opened all the windows and vents and the temperature dropped to 81 and the humidity went up. We switched from the upper bunk to the lower where I looked like a 12” long wurst in an 8” roll. I drank water so I could sweat better and we laid there and roasted all night long. We would have moved outside where we had a better option for catching a breeze but I didn’t; want to set up a free buffet for the bugs, so we laid there and cooked. Continue reading
Watkins Glen
Rainbow Bridge with Josh waiting for his bride
We left for Watkins Glen, located in central New York State in the finger lake district of NY late on Friday evening. It was the first road trip with the new shocks and boy, what a difference! The ride was really smooth. There was no hobby horsing or swaying. It was like driving a Mercedes. Continue reading
