Heading Out

It’s time for us to retreat from the heat, hit the street and beat feet.  D-Day is May 30th. 
.
This summer’s adventure will be shorter than last year’s: 2-3 months instead of 4, and considerably less ambitious.  Total miles driven will be about 6000 less; AK was a right fur piece don’t you know.  We look forward to more exploring, golfing and playing along with less driving, setting up and breaking down camp.
.
Our northernmost point will be in Frog-land, specifically Sayabec, Quebec.  Sayabec appears to be nothing more than a wide spot in the road and is not a destination in itself.  Nor is Quebec for that matter.  They just happen to be en route to the real destination, the Canadian Maritime Provinces: New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia.
.
What has us excited right now is our Lake Powell houseboat trip the first week of June.  Friends and family are coming from all over (Oregon, Montana, Minnesota and China) to enjoy the awesome scenery with us.  After the houseboat, we head to MN for the family reunion and then off to Canada.
.
Soon, my blog posts will become more frequent and will include lots of pix - and, of course, readers will be on the edges of their seats awaiting the next post, checking the website every few minutes, bodies trembling in ecstatic anticipation.  Uh huh.

  1. What great plans! It seems funny that you, who live at the edge of a lake, are heading to a different lake for house boating. But it seems dreamy.

    Ron and I did the Maritimes a few summers ago and we just loved it. PEI was a favorite: we went to the visitor info places there and got the word on what local music was happening --went to a couple ceildhs. Also we followed to trail of local artisans, very interesting. We drove the Cabot's Trail in Nova Scotia and while it was beautiful we felt it was very like Oregon...
    There were many picturesque spots and a lot of places we wished we could linger in.

    I am glad you are planning to put pictures in --that will keep us all really jealous.
