Day One of the Great Alaska Adventure was interesting, and no way predictable. It took far longer to get on the road than planned, and that turned out to be a small miracle in itself. The trailer window that was supposed to be ordered to meet us in Salt Lake City was messed up by the parts man at the RV place where the camper was bought. He did not send it to Salt Lake City where we were to be, at the end of the four week allocated time to make the window. He sent it to our house instead.
While we were finishing up, a UPS truck stopped in front of the house. Melissa went out to it and got a box. I couldn't see it, and she said that we may have our window and I thought she was joking. While installing it took a bit over an hour, I am glad that its a done deal, and we don't have to wait for it to arrive. Had it arrived an hour or so later, we all would have been a bit unhappy with having to turn around or reship it. It was here two weeks early. So I will use the cliche, all is well that ends well! We drove for about three hours today and the sun in our eyes got so intense, that we decided to camp at a KOA near Little Rock. I took a photo or two of the campsite as we barbecued some chicken, but I will have to take time to learn to add photos to this to show them, however I will put them up on the Web at the same place as the DC photos at a later date. It is 9:30 and David is already going to sleep as he got up earlier than I did, so we will have to work on getting on the same schedule.
