Divesting Part II

Friday was my last day of work!  Hooray!  Getting closer to our departure.  Three weeks ago we sold the car and I rented a nice Honda for my final weeks of work.  Today we returned the rental car and are now a "One Vehicle Family"!  We have been this way before.  In fact when we met, Kirby had a boat and no car - I had a car and no boat.  Perfect fit!

We still don't have a schedule because of the warranty work we need to have done to our RV.  They had to order the parts and seem to have NO IDEA when they will be in.  That's OK - we are both retired!

Divesting

When we first moved to Charleston from our sailboat we had an old van filled with our only belongings.  I went shopping for a job and the day after I signed an offer letter we went out and purchased this commuter car.  I didn't really like it.  The glove box wouldn't stay closed, the windows sometimes didn't work and you never knew if you would be able to get the key out of the ignition!  But it always ran like a champ.  I didn't really think I would ever bond with it like I have some of my cars.  I actually never even named it.

But today when I walked away with cash in my pocket and no keys, I felt like crying.  Go figure - it is a stupid car!  And it is gone now!  We are that much closer to being free of belongings and on the road to our adventure!

I will get a rental car to use until we leave - then I will HAVE to learn to drive that great big truck!
