Return to Tucson

After several months on the road we were ready to return to Tucson and get back enjoying the good life at the Voyager. We took a leisurely two days to make the trip from Taos stopping overnight at Truth or Consequences, NM. Now, before I go any further I must explain a few things so bear with me please.

Before we ever moved into our new home we had met three other couples who all have motor homes and homes with motor home ports here at the Voyager. In fact two of the couples, Ray and Chris and Bill and Barbara, live right across the street from us and the third, Bob and Fran, live just around the corner on our block. It’s really amazing, we struck up a hard and fast friendship and it seems like we have all known each other for years. We spend a lot of time together and it seems that it’s always time for a drink and a party around here. Fran, she belongs to Bob, came up with a name for our group. She named us the Bay Conspiracy – the Bay is the section of the Voyager that we live in. She even hand painted individual wine glasses for each one of us with our names and the Bay Conspiracy on them. We now have to take them to the dances with us since all eight of us go together and sit at the same table.

Now, back to my little chronicle – we were quite anxious to get together with the Bay Conspiracy again and have our coming home party and swap stories about where each of us went and saw and did on our summer excursions. Just like all the kids do when they return to school in the fall and tell the class what they did last summer. Ray and Chris, returned home with a brand new Newmar Mountain Aire, all 45 feet of it with a 450 horsepower Cummins and two, count them, TWO bathrooms on board. Needless to say we were all quite impressed. Did I mention that it also had a big refrigerator and a smaller refrigerator/freezer in a bay under the coach. Our Bounder was looking smaller and smaller – umm.

We all spent the next couple of weeks getting our houses back in order after their long summer hibernations and making preparations for our first trip together as a group, to, of all places, Mexico!
