without the trailer payment, and insurance on us, we can afford more than we have been doing.

We do plan on some local trips and test the waters. Perhaps branch out a bit each time we have a success.

its like I told him tho, even without MS there was never a guarantee that I would be able to go anywhere at anytime. I could have sprained an ankle, chipped a tooth, got the flu, had breast cancer return...we only have today, and I think getting out of here would do my mental health a world of good. I think having MY bed to sleep in, eating off MY dishes, and watching MY tv from MY couch would have been great. Using MY shower, and MY soap not some strange hotel that may or may not have washed the tub.

Its at the consignment lot now, and its a race day weekend, so TONS of folks will be coming by that place. I am ready for it to be done and over. Move on from this 5 year night mare of begging to take it some place. At least with it gone, we can make plans and stop looking at the thing in the driveway each day. it really was a visual reminder each day of what I was missing out on.

So it's an RV trailer not a motorhome I take it that it's an RV trailer.

Your husband is possibly using your MS as an excuse not to pull the trailer as others have suggested. If he has never pulled anything like that before it can be a feat. We have done it forever be it RV trailers, motorhomes and the like. We are both from the farm many years ago now so no big deal for either of us.

Dej, I'd look at it as freedom from a burden that wasn't giving you any pleasure. I mean really.....how often can you take something like that out? There would be so much that had to be done just to go away for a weekend. And then coming home.....I'm sure there were things you'd have to do in order to park it for a while. Seems like too much "stuff" to be enjoyable (to me, at least). I'm worn out just thinking about it!

The suggestion of renting a motorhome - if you really want to do the "on the road" thing - sounds so much easier. And more cost efficient.

Now you'll have whatever money was tied up in that thing to do whatever you want. I'm seeing this as an opportunity for lots of memories to be made!
