Within a two or three-week period, Keatie and I will hit the road for Kearney, Nebraska where our nearly one year old Camp Inn Classic 550 Teardrop Trailer, to be named either "ROAM" (B52s thanks to my brother, Kevin) or Irish Mist (to honor my dearly, beloved Dad),  http://tinycamper.com/teardrop550classic.htm is "residing" with it's current owners Michael and Deborah.  Michael is a Chiropractor and Deborah works as their office manager.  I found them on a Camp Inn site advertising the sale of their Trailer.  When my son Dan was 11 years old, we were camping with my sister, Laura and her husband, Kevin at their Newport camp site with their children, Keegan, Katie, and baby, Erinn.  That's when the Teardrop Fever bug officially bit me!

As soon as taxes are done, clothes organized, final Dr. visits are done, we're packed and the lease of my well-decorated condo in an 1813 mill close to Providence is finalized, we will hit the road to visit friends in Stamford, CT, (Meg & Charlie, Maryellen, Glenn) Pittsburgh, PA, (Peggy & Chris), OH (Darrell & Beth), MI (Lynne & Glenn), IL (Patty & CW), my cousin, KC Dunn in Depauw, IN, and then Michael and Deborah in NE.  Any thoughts on whether I should name "her" ROAM or Irish Mist are welcome.  I will be working as well as I'm back to my executive search and corporate intelligence research business and have some searches on the table at the current moment.  Two searches, a head of Investor Relations and a head of Regulatory Affairs, are for an orphan drug company (fascinating medical technology being developed for extremely rare diseases) and the other, an IB/Executive Search, long-time friend who's interested in joining a boutique executive search firm.

Next time I write will be prior to our departure.  I'll be posting pictures and video as well, too, and some family and friends will join me on the way.  Suggestions for bucket list places for me to see or do are welcome.  Thanks in advance!
