2018
Another year, time for another winter adventure! This year will probably be much different because we brought a cat with us! Kismet is almost 17 (our dilute calico for those of you who have met the cats) and was recently diagnosed to be in kidney failure. So, we didn't want to leave her home since she needs to be feed multiple times daily and given meds. Hopefully, she will be able to start putting on some weight since she doesn't have to compete with the two young boys. They, by the way, are home with our very competent house and cat sitter!
Our day started with her in a cat carrier, strapped in with a seat belt. That worked (with many meows) for a couple of hours. When we stopped and let her out she didn't want to go back in. So, for the rest of the day she traveled quite happily sleeping on the bed with unlimited access to her food, water and bathroom. 
So, night one we find ourselves in a pet friendly hotel since our RV is still winterized and it's freezing out and Kismet is happily asleep on my bed. We usually only spend the first night in a hotel, but looking at the weather forecast for the next few days, I'm not sure we can get to anyplace warm! Stay tuned.
