4/17/07 (Tuesday): Hello from Chattanooga, Tennessee! We had another pleasant day of driving. We left our campsite west of Macon, Georgia this morning around 8 AM. We took U.S. 27 most of the way. It was quite hilly (we Floridians would call them mountains, while Californians would call them hills). Traffic was light until we got near Tennessee, but we didn't have any problems. We stopped several times for snacks and gas. We ate deli sandwiches in the camper beside the highway. There was a nice view of a horse farm and small pond. Nice!

For those of you who didn't get a chance to take the "grand tour" of our new camper, here are some pics. We love our kitchen--it has a large pantry (to the right of the refrigerator (not visible in this picture), a double sink and plenty of solid oak cabinet space.

The bed is queen sized and lifts up on hydraulic jacks with storage underneath. We keep all our linens under there. There's a closet on each side, to which Wiley added shelves, because there's another closet for our hang-up clothes. The cabinets over the bed are a nice place for books.

The commode is in a little room of its own.


















The shower is in the bedroom, opposite the commode room. It's quite roomy! The vanity under the sink and the medicine cabinet are also solid oak.

There's a queen Hide-A-Bed couch in the living room and the dining table makes into a bed, too. There are lots of large windows and skylights, so it feels airy and light.

We feel very much at home in it now. We prefer it to hotels, even!

That's it for now, folks. I'll post again as soon as we get internet access (probably when we're in Michigan with Tom and his family).
