HUH?

by tess

The Hubs and I have been together for a long, long, long, long time. For better or for worse, we know one another very well. He knows my stories. I complete his sentences. He knows when to give up and I know when to give in.

And so it stunned me when he suggested that we scrap our plans for Madrid and rent an RV to visit The Great Southwest.

In the style of my mentor Lewis Black, let me repeat that so you can be sure to understand its significance: He Suggested that We Rent an RV to Visit the Southwest.

He actually sent me a website that extolled the many virtues of RVing one’s way across this beautiful country of ours.

**In an RV you have the flexibility to see it all!
**Cost effective! Save countless dollars and experience true value!
**Dine in and save money!
**No early checkout!
**Fun for the entire family!
**Grill your own steaks and take in the beautiful surroundings!
**No packing and unpacking!
**Settle in and relax at your leisure!
**Enjoy the comforts of home!

Apparently exclamation marks create an Atmosphere of Awesomeness unrivaled by mere commas! semi-colons! and periods!

Having thoroughly studied the FAQ, ROI, and F&Bs of RVing, I shared a few of my questions with The Hubs.

**SERIOUSLY?
**An RV?
**The SOUTHWEST?
**Who are you and what have you done with My Hubs?
** DRIVING and PASSENGERING in hot, boring, dry NATURE while SWEATING?
**Really?
**Are HIKING and TREKKING part of this not-at-all spa-like wonderland of a vacation?
**Which part of this HELL ON EARTH sounded awesome to you?
**Have we met?
**Which part of this HORROR SHOW sounded like ANYTHING I would like?
**Have you suffered BLUNT TRAUMA to the head?
**Would you LIKE to suffer blunt trauma to the head?

We leave for Madrid on April 3rd.
