After assessing the damage (which is nothing really), we come to the conclusion that we need the type of trailer we should have purchased in the first place – a larger, more heavy duty trailer. There have been (and will be) things that have happened that seem to be barriers to our moving, but looking at them in different lights, they’re really events that have prevented major problems down the road (figuratively and literally). For example, we need the right trailer to replace the one we just bought 2 months ago. But we need it so that we’re not stuck in the middle of the desert with a broken axel. Lenny knew of a place right around the corner from his house which might know of where we could get one – turns out they have exactly the one I need. Ironically, the make is a Kristi – made right there in Canastota, NY (20 miles from our Syracuse home!). Good thing I paid off the credit cards before we left. Lenny has offered to keep the “old” trailer at his house to sell for me, which should be an easy sell, seeing it has only 400 miles on it. We’re having a great visit, and we feel grateful that we’re able to head off potential huge problems later now with Lenny and Shirley’s help. But we STILL haven’t planned our trip.

There are times you realize you may be turning into your parents. I think I am closer than ever to morphing into my dad - I’m driving his Suburban, and I now have TWO trailers! For the record, he had 3, so I have a little ways to go.
