Sleeping Beauty's Travels has a Facebook page, too

It has been easier for me to post from my iphone to the internet via Facebook since Sleeping Beauty has been on the road.
Sleeping Beauty has been on an epic journey from Forks, WA to Albuquerque, NM.

Getting Ready for a Big Move

It has been a long time since we have taken our Sleeping Beauty on a trip.

I have travelled a lot this past year, but unfortunately not with our motorhome.

Well, things are going to change. We are getting ready to make a big move.
We are planning to move to Albuquerque, New Mexico very soon. And Sleeping Beauty is going to be our mobile home for a few weeks.  Right now a lot of planning and packing is taking place. We need to figure out what all we need to have on board us, and what can go in boxes on the moving van.


And then there's my Beach-n-Bling enterprise that will have to be put on hold for a while. I will take my tools and some wire and seaglass to have with me to keep my hands busy.  I have a very decent chest to keep this in and I am certain Sleeping Beauty has a place inside for it.

Trip Preparation

We are going  on a trip heading south tomorrow. Portland, McMinnville Flight Museum and the Oregon Coast are on the agenda.
Preparations are being made. Packing clothes, stocking the cabinets with dry goods.  Now its getting to the fine details of making sure we have all the electronic apparatus on board for keeping our gadgets charged. And of course I need to make sure I have just the right arts and crafts supplies I need.
Yesterday we got a new radio/CD player with the capability for blue tooth and  a USB port for plugging in my phone so we can listen to stuff via itunes. It sounds great.

Introduction to Sleeping Beauty's Travels

Sleeping Beauty's Travels is a blog about the trips we make with our motor home.  We decided to name it Sleeping Beauty because it was "sleeping" for a long time before we brought it back to life. 

Last October (2013) we bought this 1990 Jamboree Searcher via Craigslist. It only had 17k miles on it and the inside was like new. It had pots and pans in it and few other extras. 

After a good tune up, and some serious freshening up and this beauty was almost as good as new. The people who owned it previously took very good care of it, and probably not very often.

We have had this now for nearly a year and we like it more and more each time we take a trip.

Unfortunately, it took me until now (nearly a year later) to get the idea to start a blog on this, so I will be posting a few blogs about past trips over the next few weeks.
