We spent a month trying to disentangle our selves from our previous lives and prepare our selves to be full time on the road. Everything we did took longer, involved more steps and was much harder than it needed to be. This led to a lot of frustration with even simple things like address changes. David had to spend 3 hours at the DPS office waiting in line to do a simple driver license address change. And then they got it wrong! Financial institutions were the worst for getting our addresses changed or our balances rolled over to new accounts. They seemed more interested in throwing roadblocks in our way so they could keep hold of ore money. David managed to lose the keys to our safety deposit box in the move to the RV and we had to get it drilled out (he still has not found the keys). When we sold Leslie’s car to CARMAX, we accidently left some dry cleaning the trunk and we could not track down the car to retrieve it. These are just some of the more simple issues. But we did buy our kayaks and were able to get out one morning for an hour before it got to hot. Speaking of hot, the Texas summer arrived a month r=early and it was sizzling. The last few days were almost frantic trying to get everything solved. But by the 28th, the things that were not finished were things we could fix on the road.
