What did we forget to bring?

We made it to Las Vegas safely and the traffic was light. The motorhome drove like a dream! The wind was blowing a 'little' during the last half of the 6 hour drive and here in Vegas it's blowing at  38 mph. The next couple days are supposed to be very windy so we're very happy to be settled for awhile.

Everything is in the motorhome and I wonder why we keep the few items we left behind. If we didn't bring it, do we really need it? Rick and I agreed that the good thing about moving in and out of the moho is that we realize how much we've accumulated. If you have to move it from here to there a couple times a year, it makes you stop and think it over.

We were very fortunate to have friends in our community who let us park on their lot while we took a couple days to load the motorhome. It was so convenient to not have it parked on our narrow street and I didn't worry about someone crashing into the Cayman. We were able to take our time and store everything in it's place before we got on the road. On the last day we were finished by 5PM and after checking everything 3 times, sure we had everything we needed, we locked up the house and went over to the motorhome. It worked out so well that we thought we'd sleep in the motorhome that last night and get an early start. Around 10:30 PM we were more than ready for sleep and we pulled back the bedspread to find NO SHEETS on the bed! We'd brought our pillows, but had forgotten to take the matching sheets. Since it was 10:30 at night we decided to use one of the spare sheet sets and make a quick trip to the house in the morning. No big deal! Rick thought maybe we could just use the bedspread, no sheets for one night, but we've got extras of everything in the motorhome. In the morning when I made breakfast I realized that I'd  removed the small skillet from the motorhome so I got one from the house. Could have done without it, but nice to have it.

Pretty good packing I thought, just a set of sheets and a small skillet. As our neighbor said, if you forget anything, buy it or do without.
