Ready....... Set.........................

It's always sad to leave family, friends and the St. Lawrence River!


Summer is winding to an end and preparation is underway to get back on the road. Flights have been booked to put us back in Victoria on September 4. Allowing a few days to clean up the RV and get stocked up, we should be rolling again by the 7’th.

It has been great to spend the summer with family and friends but, we are also looking forward to new discoveries on the road. My little “customization” of the motorhome from last year has supposedly been repaired over the summer but………… it has been impossible to get an oil change in Victoria ……….. for the ENTIRE SUMMER????? What the heck is that all about?? It sounds like anyone looking for a great business opportunity should start changing oil in large trucks on Vancouver Island. Who knew??

Our plan is explore Vancouver Island, head to the Okanagan Valley (one of our favourite spots in Canada) and then turn right for Idaho, Montana and the Dakotas. Stay tuned!!

Welcome back!

Is it true that only retired women wear sunglasses while swimming? Because I could swear I have read that somewhere... :)

I see that your plans for travel involve a sharp turn to the right before getting too far east for an obligatory visit with family in Alberta. Very shrewd, Uncle Bill. We'll have to keep in touch electronically then, and content ourselves with vicarious living through your wacky travels on America's highways.
