Launch day, Full-time Rv'ing

Location: Ledyard, CT, USA
We pulled away from our Ledyard, CT home at 2 pm., 24 hours later than we had planned.  Norm, my daughter, Nicole, and myself, along with the two dogs (Yogi and Kalija).  We stopped quickly by the Mohegan Sun Casino RV lot in Uncasville, CT to say good bye to my parents.  After hugs good bye, we were on our way.  Not the fanfare I had pictured there would be.  I also didn't realize how exhausted we were, we had been so busy packing, prepping and selling and now we are on the road, ready to rest!  So we thought!  We hit the road playing our theme song, West Bound and Down by Jerry Reed.  A few hours in we noticed the tire pressure monitoring clips on the rear wheels were flopping around and the tools we needed to fix them were in the most inaccessible place.  So we used bacon duct tape and taped them up and hit the road again,  An hour later the other side did the same thing!  Bacon tape to the rescue again.   Then the lights on the tow dolly and car were working backwards.  Ugh,  We headed on down to our first stop at Mohegan Sun Poconos to sleep for the night.  We went inside and were surprised how much smaller it is than the CT Mohegan Sun.   Decided to have a quick bite inside a bar where a band was playing then and went outside to the RV for some much needed sleep.   It was late.
