Welcome to the first of many Blog Posts covering our 2015 RV Cross-Country Connect Tour Adventure! Paul and I are taking Called To Action on the road and combining our work and play life as we travel across the USA. To read more about our travels make sure to click on the Adventures – Road Trip!

“A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.” Proverbs 16:9
Is there such a thing as over-planning? Our journey begins with a very detailed plan (mostly Paul).
Target Departure: Noon; Actual Departure: 5:00 pm. Yes it rained – of course it did. While that was not the reason we were delayed, we certainly would like to think so.
Some brief thoughts about our first two days:
Maggie – She just has to share our stories…
– La Casita Too! We traded our Travel Trailer for a Class C Motor Home – lots more room for family to join us on our adventures. All that room means… more shoes for me and more gadgets for Paul.
- Paul and Maggie working together to get the Kia Soul on the Car Tow Dolly – well, let’s just say we will probably have this down by the end of our journey.
Beagle Bailey Happy Camper
- Beagle Bailey – always a happy camper.
- Our first campsite in Lake City, FL I have affectionately renamed the Florida Mosquito Preserve.
- Wondering… is it legal to take flies across state lines?
- Mystery radio/camera console black-out – after several hours of pushing the on button (fully recognizing the futility of it all), a stop at Camping World where we left a baffled service man, it came back to life. All I could say was “Thank you Jesus!”
- Simplified Lifestyle – many would not refer to travelling in a motor home as “roughing it” but clearly for this NYC girl it does fit the description. I must say I absolutely loved pulling in to a rest area and enjoying our healthy dinner in the comfort of our home-on-wheels.
Atlanta sunset
- Atlanta welcomed us with a beautiful sunset. Wonderful memories of our time there came flooding in and even the traffic didn’t seem to bother us (much).
- Coaching clients while Paul drives – trying to stay focused on the call and not be distracted by… Oh Look! Squirrel!
Calhoun GA Campground
- With a short rest in Calhoun, GA we are now ready to head north to new territory. Grateful for the travel prayers and for this gift of adventure!
