RV/CAMPING TRAILER END OF TRIP


It’s Sunday and our camping trip to the Florida Keys is ending.  It was wonderful to watch the sun set over the Gulf each night and watch it rise over the Atlantic Ocean in the mornings.

  But now we’re packing up for our return home.  I pulled out our End of Trip checklist for our camping trailer and have begun reading it off to my husband while he completes the job.  “Turn appliances off and secure,” I yell like a drill sergeant.  “Check,” he replies.  We continue down the checklist shutting off water supplies, closing windows and doors and securing the awning in the closed position.  Everything complete, I take one last photo of a pelican gliding silently two inches above the turquoise sea.
