PREPPING FOR MY FIRST RV TRIP

If and when I take the wheel of the mothership, I will channel her confidence. Image: Adventure Journal

This time next week I will be ensconced in a freshly re-decorated RV with 3 women whom I've never personally met and one guy who I've known casually for years. While some of you are probably thinking "Lucky man" and others "Poor guy," I am thinking "What do I pack?" plus I have a myriad of other concerns. Here's a partial look into my (lightly edited) stream of consciousness.

Is it even worth it to get a manicure.Cooking will be fun. It's a good thing wine bottles have screw caps. I want to make biscotti. Should i take my running shoes? Am I really going to exercise? Hate when i take them and don't use them. Remember to pack a 3-way plug. Is there WiFi? Surprisingly I am not feeling that guilty about missing the first few days of school. It would be fun to get a paint by number kit. I hope there are some cool ones. There is no artwork up in the RV. Bring headscarves. Download "Hair." What other crafty things should i bring? So much work to do before i go. Yikes. I hope there's WiFi. I don't have cool pajamas. Is someone bringing games? Check the weather forecast. Boots? Glue gun? maybe? I want some new sunglasses. Make DVDs. I hope it doesn't rain. Wonder if we'll find any cool thrift shops. Should i take my own pillow? 

And so it goes............
