We were supposed to have a cookout at Arm of Gold but we had a frightening episode in the campground this morning. Luckily, several heroes came to the rescue. It’s all good now but it was a tough and emotional day. When we all arrived at the campground, it was clear, our cookout needed to… Continue reading #13 The Cabot Trail

The Cowardly Lion and Me Another new province? Say it isn’t so. “Okay, it isn’t so”. Some of you may think I am drinking while I write this blog and maybe you caught me. The truth is that most times I fail to look at something (tour book, calendar, email) that might remind me of… Continue reading #12 PEI? Not Yet!

It’s bus tour day!!! Pam picked a fair playing card, a 10. Nothing to brag about though, still in the rear of the bus. Halifax and the Titanic? Our first tour stop was the Fairview Lawn Cemetery. I was clueless about how Halifax was involved in the Titanic tale. Leonardo never mentioned it. The Titanic… Continue reading #11 Go To Hal…ifax

It may be surprising to some of you that we got lost on our way to the campground. In my defense (and I always have one), as the navigator, our walkie talkie was not working so we couldn’t get any direction from our wagon master. We had to wing it. We winged it right through… Continue reading #10 Looney Bird?? No Silly, Lunenburg!!

I mentioned in the last blog that I would save Digby for later. It looks like this is later. We’ll head to Lunenburg next. Hope you don’t mind. While we were at Jaggers Point we found a really cool bike path right outside the campground entrance. What a fun ride! It had its bumps but… Continue reading #9 Yes, I Forgot Digby!!!!

New Brunswick To Nova Scotia From New Brunswick, it was almost a 300 mile drive to Nova Scotia and Jaggers Point Campground. The drive was one of our longest travel days on the tour. Once we arrived at our destination, we discovered there was a very nice Fundy Ferry that crosses the Bay of Fundy… Continue reading #8 Take An RV On A Ferry?

Rockwood Park Campground Welcome to Saint John, New Brunswick. Not St. Johns, that’s a different city. Both towns were named the same and the compromise was, take off the “s” and spell out Saint. I wish all negotiations would go that smoothly. They have a brewery and really nice people. The city of Saint John… Continue reading #7 Reversing What?

“Oh Canada,” as the song goes, is heavenly. The Maritime Provinces are more environmentally diverse than I had imagined. I had envisioned land surrounded by water, a bit like Florida. You understand, more like beach areas along the eastern seaboard of the US from Florida to New Jersey. Those are beautiful too but I didn’t… Continue reading #6 Canada, Eh?

Some of you may be wondering if the work routine and effort of RV’ing is worth it. I know I may have portrayed a pretty bleak picture of RVing in the last blog. But think of it like this, sometimes exhilarating things, sky diving, zip lining and kayaking, come first with cautionary warnings. You know… Continue reading #5 Friends And Favorite City in the USA

We have been traveling since June 29th. I must have forgotten this important RVing fact from last years’ experience. For all of you wannabe RV’s, listen to me carefully. A two-night stay at any location is not enough. We have had several stops along the way that warranted a 5-hour drive from one campground to… Continue reading #4 Two Nights Are Not Enough

Northward After our wonderful family visit, we were back on the highway pushing northward to Virginia and Bull Run. Bull Run is such an historic place and we thought it would be fascinating to learn more about the Civil War. We didn’t have time to add Gettysburg to our trip so this was an compromise.… Continue reading #3 Guns and Grapes

Helen and Steve (sister and brother-in-law) left us with an alternative to my phone. Although my plans do not include needing an alternative, we appreciated the thoughtful gift. Pam and I gave the unique device a test drive as we backed into our next campsite. I really like the idea of no monthly fee. Georgia… Continue reading #2 Hot Hot Hot

Sunday, 4 days before departure. Welcome friends and blog readers. So happy you decided to come along with us. It’s a new summer trip with a new route and an arsenal full of planned and unplanned activities. As you know, the navigator is the planner and this trip took a year of routing, researching, and… Continue reading #1 Let the Fun Begin…
