Priceless!

Arrived at the Newburgh/NYC North KOA to find ourselves in a very busy weekend. Got in our 'overflow' site and figured Hunter would be ready to explore. But, no, her only focus was to get her suitcase packed and ready for her flight home on Saturday. That suited me, for I was needing some 'down' time.

Saturday morning and the process was still going on, for she kept finding things she had 'forgotten'. We pulled out another suitcase for it became obvious all her treasures weren't going to fit in the one she brought. I'm sure the baggage inspectors had to smile when they found the inflatable alligator float, a bag of rocks, pieces of driftwood, etc. when they checked hers.

Headed to Newark, NJ just before 11:00 and got there in plenty of time, without too many wrong turns. Lots of traffic though!

When the flight attendant called her name, she was up and half way to the plane before we could call out to her to 'be good, give bubba a hug, etc.' She was so excited she was hopping!

Called Russ to let him know she was on her way and we made out way 'home'. The trailer seemed 'empty' without her bubbling presence, but know it's the way its supposed to be. We've got our 'plate full' for the next 2 months, and know the time will pass quickly.

This whole adventure brought to mind a popular TV commercial:
