….. Starting tomorrow, September 7, 2010. At long last, we are poised to hit the road!
It’s been a tilt-a-whirlwind since we got back to CA two weeks ago. Thanks to the deep generosity of our friends the Korades, we’ve had a base in Topanga from which we could get our “ship” together. It’s almost a blur– just so much to do: film pre-production (like peeling an onion– endless), home school prep (gimme sumthin to write on, man!), RV search and destroy (we came, we saw, it conquered our hearts)…. Plus big moves like seeking Payroll help and buying Final Cut Pro, camera lenses and sound equipment (ouch), all of which cost a pretty fat penny. But we did it! And now, it’s time to set sail.
We found an RV (we’ve named it Harvey) that feels perfect for us: a 29 foot 2005 Fleetwood Jamboree. John bought it flat out. It was kind of like searching for a pet: we sniffed around and fell for Harvey, and now we’ve spent the last few days getting to know each other. We already got one parking ticket and killed his battery. Good ice breaker.
Tomorrow John will set up his art show at Abuelita’s here in Topanga, but we won’t stick around for it. Anything we need to do, from now on we can do it from the RV. And there is still a TON to do. But first on the list is to go park ourselves in front of a cool landscape somewhere, take a swig of the view and just …. enjoy ourselves.
Pretty wild, to think we’re actually on our way.
