Close to leaving again

If you read through the blog from the beginning you know that we put our house up for sale so we could go full time on the road. After two years nearly to the day that we put the house on the market, we finally accepted an offer. Why has it taken so long? I don't know. I can count on two hands the number of showings that we had in two years. We had two people get into a small bidding war and we got what we started asking for it in the beginning.
If all goes well the house will close by April 1st and then we have fourteen days to vacate the property. We have to find a place to house our stuff that we're keeping (I know where most of it is going). Buy a new truck to tow the camper and get it fitted with hand controls. Right now I'm looking at a Chevrolet 2500HD.
The trailer needs new brakes and tires. Plus I want to build a new cabinet in the back for Patrick's stuff. Lots to do in the coming weeks plus Patrick is starting scuba lessons to get certified and then we can dive together. Looking forward to getting to Florida again to see friends and do some diving.
The plan right now is to go to Florida and then go up the east coast.
