Hi Everyone,
I wish I were as detailed as Betty is with her GREAT Alaskan recap; but at the moment I can't even remember the date; let alone fill you in on all the minute details of what we have done and where we have been. I do know the day...but had to look at a calendar to figure out the date. Tim and I are having a ball. This is the longest trip we have taken. We don't plan to be back home in San Diego until Oct 1st. I'm wondering if Tim is testing the "full time" possibilites. I will offer that Tim has kept a detailed record of all expenses and says we are spending $70.00/day.
We left CAlifornia on July 5th and here we are just north of Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. WE have visited family in Indiana and Ohio; and stayed in the Amish country near Canton, Oh. On Sunday morning, It was so facinating to watch the buggies pass with men in their stove pipe hats and women in their long dresses going to church. It made me stop and think just how fast moving the "english" have become. Amish call the rest of us "english". The Amish have beautiful flower gardens in their yards and the campground we stayed in was no exception; flowers were everywhere.
I had been doing tons of research about our border crossing into Canada and had us down to the last morsel of dog & cat food; meat for us and just a handful of vegetables/fruits. Our pet records were in order and our passports at the ready for crossing. This morning I was a nervous wreck thinking of things I might have forgotten and was worried about going through customs. However, as we approached the customs booth we noticed another motorhome pulled over and inspectors were going througt it. So I thought, oh boy, this is going to be intense. When we reached the agent, he just asked a couple of questions, didn't ask for pet information or ID's for us....just waved us on through...I was stunned.
So now we are camped for a few days to allow us to stock up on food; replenish dog and cat food and sightsee the area of Niagara FAlls.
I think I'll sleep in tomorrow morning.
