You know that Bob and I have been spending this summer in southern Georgia. We recently made a trip back to Minnesota, South Dakota, and North Dakota to see our mothers. They are both in their nineties, and it was something we needed to do.

Instead of taking the motorhome, we flew. We left the RV and all the comforts of home behind. We are used to traveling with no schedule and only a vague itinerary. We do not make campground reservations. This trip required us to have airline reservations, bus reservations, and motel reservations.

Our mothers are planners. They made commitments for us to visit with various relatives and attend social gatherings. We ate, drank, and slept according to their schedules. By the time we got back to Georgia, we were exhausted.

That kind of travel is so very different from our usual RVing.

Now's a good time to rake in a few extra dollars doing end of the season jobs. When students go back to school, they leave employers scrambling to fill their shifts for the next few days or weeks. It's an excellent opportunity for RVers to step in and finish the season.
