San Diego Tour Underway!

We arrived home in Ojai late Saturday night with the RV after a wonderful drive down I-5. We unloaded Gayle's intrepid Saturn.

Sunday, we spent the day doing errands and preparing for the tour. Since we are totally new to RV's, we had a number of challenges with its operation First issue was repairing dead headlight and replacing wiper blades in the rain (yes, it does sometimes rain in S. California).

Eventually, I found the owner's manual and that made things a little easier I tested the external water hookup and got that working and figured out the electric hookup too. I noticed a lot of things about the RV once I realized we actually were going to sleep, eat and live in there.

Today, we packed up and headed to our first stop on the tour - Solutions For Change in Vista, CA. After circling the area for awhile attempting to follow some erroneous Mapquest directions, we enjoyed a triumphant arrival this afternoon.

Gayle picked up Crystal, our amazing video & audio director, at the airport and drove her to the site. Although Crystal arrived safely on her flight from Providence, RI some of her luggage didn't. So we are on our back to the airport to get the luggage now.

Walter, the property manager, gave us a wonderful tour of Solutions For Change; we met lots of residents who made us feel very welcome.

We are very excited about tomorrow's activities and about our first night I the RV! This is a blast already!
