Final move

Location, Everett, WA

Well, one week down with 5 more to go. Candi has done very well this week with radiation and chemo and drove home this afternoon to spend the weekend. She will be back late Sunday evening to begin another week.

Meanwhile, yesterday I moved the RV to our permanent spot. It is a level pad near the entrance which means a little more road noise as well as vehicles leaving early for work. Not too bad however. The good thing about the move was better WiFi. We went from Low to Good on signal strength.

We have room for Candi’s SUV next to the RV while my truck is in a spot near the office. If I can keep the truck there for the duration of our stay it would be very nice. If not, then we will be really crowded.

This park calls itself an RV Resort and it is nice compared to the park next door but it really needs a little more space. They do pack RV’s in which is ok if you are desperate for a place to stay as we were. They worked with us to make sure we could stay here as long as we needed and we are grateful for that and have let them know. They options for this area a few. We visited several other parks which would be classed as “white trash” parks by any ones imagination.

We are about ½ hour from the cancer center which isn’t bad. We are also close to the I-5 freeway which makes travel north or south easy. There is lots of shopping with 5 miles in any direction including the big Alderwood Mall just south of us. We can got to several Costco’s, Safeway’s, Albertson’s, Wal-mart’s, etc. There are Trader Joes, Harbor Freight, and best of all, a couple of Dairy Queen’s for the all important Blizzards.

We need to make a list of places we want to visit while we are here. The cancer center has free tickets for some events and places so we will use those when appropriate.
