Late Departures and Casino Parking Lots – Living the #RVlifestyle

Just about a month ago, we were a bit eager to be on our way south.   With the dropping temps in Canada, things were getting a little chilly in the old RV.  Nothing on the RV had frozen yet, but it was only a matter of time.  So eager were we that we would …

Back to School

The girls had a little break from the time they left school in Canada until we got to Guaymas.  We were just having too much fun traveling to do much schooling.   They had their “summer” break in February and March. They did lots of fun (and educational) things during that time.  In Hawaii, we …
