How This All Started

I first heard of the World's Longest Yard Sale while watching an HGTV program that covered the 2008 show. I thought then it would be fun to go someday, but I didn't think there would ever be much chance of my going. Nevertheless the idea has always hung out in the back of my mind. Recently I reconnected with my best friend from high school and somehow the yard sale came up in conversation. I don't know who said it first or how it came about, but we are going to the 2011 yard sale. She is the one who thought it would be a hoot to Blog our trip. I thought we should start with the days leading up to the actual trip. We are in the planning stages right now. We have no idea what to expect. We have been reading everything we can and looking at all the pictures of past sales that we can find online. We know its supposed to be hot. Well Duh! It's in August, that's a given. Besides, we are from South Florida. We know hot! We know we will see some funny sites and some interesting sites. We will see lots of junk and find some cool things too. We keep telling each other that we are going with no expectations and are just going to go with the flow. It will be a girls "Road Trip" and I know we will have fun. There are 45 days til the 2011 World's Longest Yard Sale officially starts and we are excited!!!
