After a challenging process of selling our "bricks and sticks" home at 9401 Pearlstone Cove in Austin, TX, and divesting ourselves of most of our furniture, we officially moved aboard (e.g. started sleeping in it) on June 4th, 2012. We also moved into a 10'x10' climate-controlled storage unit so we could keep the "special" things we will need some day in the future when more daily living space enters our lives again.
We spent our first 9 days at Old Settler's RV park in Round Rock while we finished moving out of the house and closing the sale -- and then moved into New Life RV Park in Georgetown TX where we plan to stay for most of the rest of 2012. This will give us time to get acclimated to our new lifestyle and enjoy our local friends and Gator Club through football season.
Like any new home, we have had a few "startup" hiccups. "Max" spent 4 months prior to our move-in at Crestview RV in Buda having his tile floor replaced due to a manufacturing defect that cracked the original grout. It is special tile/grout that can handle the travel environment, so it was harder to replace than normal stuff. We discovered a few fix-it items remaining from the floor work after we picked Max up, but they are sending someone out to us for these minor things. To add to the fun of our first night aboard, we found a defective outside leaky shower spigot. Lucky for us, Crestview RV in Georgetown replaced it under warranty within 24 hours. Now we just need to get the home theatre "system"/box (fried) and our coffee table (warped) replaced. Ah, what a life!
With house finally sold and us finally settled in completely, we kicked off our new life with a bike ride at a park nearby on our new folding bikes this mornign. And so, our own "journey" begins! :-)
