Preparations

For the last few months, we've been studying the materia...
It took us about two months to understand what kind of camper/travel trailer we want.
First we bought a car, big one, the "horse" to pull the carriage... :) 2007 Ford Expedition.
Now, that we had the "horse", we had to decide what it is going to pull behind.
Since we have no experience towing, I was pressing to buy the smallest camper available. We went "window shopping" to find out what is the right for us.
We made a list of musts. I am very good with lists... Every trip we plan or a project we decide to do starts with a list, like a shopping list, to do list etc. Lists every where...
To make a long story short, while I was visiting the family in Israel, Arik found the perfect travel trailer for us, according to every parameter in that list! A 2014 Jayco Swift Feather RD198 in a very good condition.
In order to get the idea of what is ahead of us, we started watching travelers' clips on youtube and to read travelers' blogs,  and the list grew and grew and grew...
From that point we bought equipment for the trip, we packed the apartment, we donated stuff to Goodwill, we took boxes to storage, we cleaned and we were almost ready to go But... It is January! It is sooo cold!
Today the sun was shining, the sky were completely blue, the temperatures were reasonably right and we moved on our way!
450 miles drive from Columbia MO to Nashville TN, half the way in heavy rain, a very challenging day! Preparations
