Counting Down to Departure from Port A

Saturday, 30 May 2015
Gulf Waters RV Resort — Port Aransas, Texas
Temps: Hi 85F (29C) / Lo 74F (23C)

Two days to go before we leave Port Aransas for our summer road trip.  We have a beautiful, sunny day ahead of us … until showers and “a heavier thunderstorm” hit us tonight.  That’s what Accuweather says is going to happen; we'll see.  I sure hope we’re not in for another 4:40a wake-up to severe weather alerts as was the case yesterday morning.  In any event, it’s all forecasted to clear up by the time we leave for Houston on Monday — our first stop on the road trip … just to get annual maintenance work done.

In the meantime, Mother Nature treated us to this colorful spectacle to jumpstart our day.  Good thing we were out to enjoy it … with a feels-like temperature of 102F (39C) forecasted as the day wears on, it’s doubtful that we’ll be spending much time outdoors today.

A colorful sunrise to remind us of our home @ GWRVR as we prepare to get on the road.

Mui took care of his pre-trip checks yesterday, which turned out to be a beautiful and not-too-hot day after the morning thunderstorms passed.  The air pressure in the tires is good; the fluid levels are within the norms.  The basement of the coach is packed up with the things we want to take with us; the rest is in the storage shed.  And yes, the toad has been given a check-up, too.  We’re ready to get the wheels rolling.
