Pause

Butchart Gardens is a Victoria highlight

Just another Vancouver Island vista

The trip.................so far

The RV is parked in a fenced yard, we’re at an airport hotel waiting for our flight home and, the exploring has ended………for now.

Our little journey has not been what we expected. It has been so much better. As we departed Brockville in August, we reasoned that if we did not truly enjoy moving from place to place in an RV, we would sell the rig, return home and check RV travel off our list of things to do. Instead, we have learned more, experienced more, and most importantly appreciated more of what makes up this continent on which we live. And…… in our case, it’s not about the RV. It is merely a means to an end, putting us in places to which we would never fly or otherwise visit.

So far, we have put about 15,000 km on the motorhome and, an additional 19,000 km on the car. We have explored a bit of Canada and 20 of the largest states, teaching us that there is so much more to see. We have been surprised by how many people we have met along the way that do this as a full-time life-style, year after year. They think we’re nuts to be returning to a “home base”. Then there are those amongst friends and family who thought we were nuts to embark on this trip. I guess the consensus is that we’re nuts!!!!! Our chosen name for the RV, the “Pecan”, becomes more fitting all the time!

We are eager to see friends, family and home and, we’re eager to get back to more exploring. Go figure!!
