Day 6: Watch Out Kelly's Behind The Wheel, Ahhhh!

We knew we were going to have an 8 to 10 hour driving day so we said goodbye to Jessica, Emma and Isabel and set off for Texas by 8:00am. We called the A/C repairman and confirmed that we would meet him today. He told us he would meet us in Longview, TX in the parking lot of the Walmart (you will notice the Walmart theme throughout the blogs, as it is a common lifesaver store for RVers).

With that appointment squared away, we figured now was as good a time as any to let me drive. That's right naysayers, I did pull my weight on the long driving day and drove over two hours, before I had to stop and go to the bathroom. Or was it because I was so scared that I had to go to the bathroom (just kidding). It is NOT like driving a car at all. I was prepared for the constant steering adjustments I would have to make, but pushing the pedal was really hard. Cruise control is a must and changing lanes is always an adventure. Not only are you trying to make room for a 40 foot long BUS, you have to take into account the 15 foot long car you are towing behind the 40 foot bus. Needless to say, no animals or small children were hurt in the driving of the vehicle.

The A/C ended up being no big deal and didn't cost us a thing. Which was a good thing because the cost of fuel is crazy. We made it to Texas and set-up our site at the Dallas Destiny RV Resort, which is great. I can't wait to stay here a week. It can be tiring packing up and moving every day. By the time our heads hit the pillow, I think we had almost a 13 hour day today.
