Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul,
and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all.

Some of you are already aware that our immediate travel plans to visit Africa and Asia have been disrupted by health concerns.  For others, the news will come as a surprise.  I debated posting about this on the blog, but this is part of our full timing life, so I decided a quickie blurb was appropriate.

It won’t be long now before the Phaeton goes back into storage yet one more time.  So, the time is at hand to put this blog to sleep … for a little while.  It’s not that I won’t be writing … I will be.  Or at least I’ll be trying my darnedest to do so.  But our upcoming overseas adventure — a six-month voyage that will literally take us around the world — deserves its own blog.

If you would like to follow along, hop on over to Two to Travel … Goes Around the World in 180 Days to see what unfolds as we visit 6 Continents, 36 Countries, 97 Ports … and more.

Adieu Port A

Friday, 2 December 2016
Advanced RV Resort — Pearland / Houston, Texas
Temps: Hi 66F (19C) / Lo 55F (13C)

Yesterday we made the rounds at GWRVR and bid a bittersweet adieu to the friends we made here.  While we have no immediate plans to come back this way, we will definitely set time aside for a return visit to GWRVR if we find ourselves in the Texas coastal bend at some point in the future.

An advantage of site 452 … beautiful sunset views.

Hooking up the CR-V to the Phaeton at first light, we were on the road by 7:30a.  Why the hurry to get on the road to Houston?  We wanted to stay ahead of the forecasted storm.  And by golly we did just that, arriving to a few sprinkles as we pulled into Advanced RV Resort in Pearland around 12:15p.  It’s raining now, but looks like the storm has stalled and the worst of it won’t get here until the wee hours.  No matter.  We’re off the road and it can rain all it wants now.

Boarding the ferry to Aransas Pass for the last time … at least for a while to come.

Thus the Port Aransas chapter of our life on the road is now behind us.  Our sadness is tempered by all the exciting plans we have to look forward to in the years ahead.

We’ll be in Houston for a month.  Don’t expect that we will do much sightseeing, though … this is our prep time for the next overseas adventure we will be embarking upon come January.  More on all that later.
