By the time breakfast was over we had gathered one more load of stuff for the storage so off I went while Diane packed up the Moho. We only have 60 miles to go but most of them are "country miles" down through Lancaster, Lititz over to Ephrata. And as usual we wanted to leave by 11am, didn't make that. It was almost 1:30 till we left. We hooked up the car and good thing Diane was watching; the wheels weren't moving. She had to go through the whole set up once again. We were good to go.
Pulled into the Airbnb around 3:30. It wasn't easy, but we got the Moho within 25 feet of the entrance door. Diane and Rudy stayed in the apartment and sorted/organized as I carried the stuff in. It doesn't seem like much, but all the refrigerator stuff was first. Then all the perishable foods came in. And let's not forget all of Rudy's stuff, dishes, food, treats, medicine etc. Next all the pills and stuff from the medicine cabinet. And lastly all the clothes you need for 3 weeks (and who knows what that is)! It took a couple hours and was finally wine time. We poured some wine and OH there is NO where to set? We had the car packed full and had to unload that first. Now with the grill and chairs set up we could relax (until morning).
Burgers for dinner (and wine).

You talk about a travel day. We started with a breakfast sandwich from Gus's dinner, it certainly big enough. Then we all get in the car and drive to Dillsburg to get the truck. We pulled into Walmar Manor, Diane got back in the car and left, Rudy had to pee then we were off to storage unit (I forgot the bolt for the bike rack) then we headed back to Arkon.
As soon as we got back, we parked the truck, carried our overnight stuff to the Moho, hooked up the car and headed to a Harvest Host camping spot, close to the repair garage. It is 50 miles but even google says 1 1/2 hours. Now I had Diane navigating us through Amish country on a nice Sunday afternoon. We missed the first turn and....then we passed at least 50 or more horse and buggies😟. We ended up on some of the windiest, narrow roads in PA. Route 841 should have a sign "NO RV's"!
We finally pulled in around 5:30, unhooked the car, put the slides out and Diane had to get back in the car to get us dinner. She found a BBQ spot; the food was yummy.
To sum up today. Drove to Dillsburg, drove to Akron and drove to Newcastle DE. Not a lot of miles but over 6 hours in a vehicle.

It not over yet. We had breakfast bars and started packing the car up. We left at 9am heading to The RV Shop 15 miles away. We pulled in I told them I had an appointment with Maria our service manager. Well, she is off for a couple days. They assured me the work would start without her. I hope😟
Back in the car and another drive through Amish country (at least it's a workday). We made it back around 1:30 unpacked the car. We stopped and got fresh mushrooms. Dinner was (wait for it) steak and mushrooms. Fresh mushrooms did have a much richer favor. Happy hour started early. 🍷😁.
And it is not over tomorrow Diane has to drive to Tioga County for a doctor's appointment on Wednesday.

Diane packed an overnight bag and was on the road by 10am. Now if your keeping track Diane has been in a vehicle four days straight and today is a five-hour trip. She arrived at Kate's place about 3pm, they went out for dinner and back to talk a bit before bed ('til midnight).
Rudy and I did not leave the apartment! 😏

Diane was up, showered and headed to the doctor in Elmira NY by 10am. Her appointment was 11:30 to have some lumps cut out of her head. Believe it or not she was on her way home by 12 noon. Another 225 mile, 5 1/2-hour drive home. She arrived home safe and sound just before 6pm. Some wine and leftovers for dinner and it was over. That's five days in a row for her to be in the car.
And by the way Rudy and I were busy too. We went for a walk and did dishes. Now we were exhausted. 😉
That should be it for traveling for at least a week.
