The move from the condo into the coach was more stressful and chaotic than we could have imagined. We knew of people who had parked their RV next to their house and spent six months to a year preparing. We had two and half months and our coach was parked miles away.
Jill had been interviewing real estate agents late last year, but we had not listed the condo for sale when, on June 26th, she got an email from an agent asking if he could show the unit the following Saturday. We spent 48 hours making the place presentable -- we had previously emptied our storage locker into the living-room and there were boxes everywhere.
On Monday the agent brought us a signed contract. Days listed = zero! But the deal was contingent on us being out by July 30th -- the buyers needed to be out of their apartment on July 31.
It took a U-Haul truck, multiple trips up and down Georgia 400, and several sleepless nights. The new owners had the keys to the condo and we still had stuff in the building's hallway. It was not a pretty sight.
There are now boxes everywhere in the coach and stuff in a storage locker near here. It will probably take us several months to finish organizing and stashing so that we can really "hit the road." We will definitely need a vacation!

Glenn & Jill,
Great posting. Congrats on the move. I've really been enjoying reading the blog. Sounds like you all got the "spot" you showed us.

Wow! It's all happened so quickly: getting the coach, selling the condo, and moving. You two are really remarkable to manage it all. I hope the most intensive part is over, and you can take it a bit easier. My prescription is: remove two red wine glasses from the bar, fill with the appropriate beverage, put your feet up while sitting in either that fabulous chair or on the sofa, toast each other, and relax.
