Aahhhh ...

 There's a physical sensation when mental stress is relieved. Oh, and it feels so good. 

We did our presentation last night. We're waayy out of practice for doing live presentations so it didn't go as smoothly as we'd like, but it was fine. In the end we had fun, and at least some of them learned stuff.


We made it back to the campground after dark. It's rare for us to leave a campground at night so we were relieved when the code to open the gate worked and we made it back to our site in time for a glass of wine and then bed. Here's how Jim stowed our luggage so we could use the bed.


Amazing that he was able to get it all piled on top of the driver's seat, so he could still use the passenger seat, turned around, for his 'office.' 

Next up, our Earlybird Toastmasters meeting at 7am. We used my phone, on the Google Fi network, as a hotspot. I saw that just moving it close to the rear window increased the signal from 2 bars to 5 bars. We had 60mbps down and 5 up. It served to power both my computer and Jim's without a hiccup throughout the meeting. See our video on how to turn your phone into a hotspot.

After the meeting we went for a walk around the campground. We breathed in the fresh air and contemplated our wide open future. A new beginning. A new chapter. Another adventure.

Our plan is to make it to Alex's in Melrose tonight, but there's no hurry. It's only a 3 hour drive and we don't need to leave the campground till 1. We're so comfortable in our little van.

You probably felt like you were making the presentation for the first time, all over again.
Stay Safe and Enjoy!

It's about time.
