Unemployed and too broke for travel. You can say I’m on an indefinite vacation

Well, we were planning to go to the Texas Gulf Coast in August, but the hurricane experts are indicating the coast may be closer to Austin by then. As if the summer heat with heat indexes in the 120 range isn't bad enough, the warm water is breeding bigger and badder storms. We are thinking maybe casting our eyes to the mountains, from whence cometh our help. I am advocating Estes Park in Colorado. The YMCA complex is like a summer camp for adults, but the kids like it too.

We were thinking of taking a trip later this summer, but this extreme weather has us rethinking that. It's just so hot out, I don't see us enjoying ourselves going somewhere and staying inside where it's safe and air conditioned. I can do that at home! I'm thinking of maybe pushing our travel plans back to the fall, that may make more sense.

I really want this summer to be the time I try out an RV for the first time. I’ve said that for several summers but maybe this one will be it! What stops me is realizing how much work I’ll have to do in order to prep to prep, drive and park on.
