Today was the day we left the U.S. and headed into Canada! It was honestly a little “daunting” to think about crossing the border and being asked questions and feeling “interrogated” – I had watched several YouTube videos of people crossing into Canada and some people got asked a LOT of questions – The most…

From mountains to beaches!
Niagara falls, Lake George, the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and now….THE ATLANTIC OCEAN AND BEACHES! We pulled away from New Hampshire, headed for the great state of Maine! It was just a couple of hours to get there, and the drive was beautiful! Every little town is prettier than the one before it! We…
HERE WE GO!!!!
AND…..WE’RE OFF! I can’t believe it’s time for our “big trip” this year! Wow, how fast a year has gone since our last one! Our friends from Florida arrived in Pittsburgh, stayed a couple of nights with us, and then we loaded up the trailers and drove out of the cul de sac! First stop….Niagara…

Well, it’s 2025 and the camping season has officially begun for us! The trailer is ready, so off we go!!! Last week, we flew to Florida – at 5:45 am! – to go pick up the trailer! For those who know me well, flying is NOT my favorite thing to do – most people (that…
RECALCULATING….PART TWO!
Well, here I am again!!! Just when it seemed like the adventures with our Airstream were over for this year…NOT SO! After my last blog post, we had put the Airstream back in its storage place until time to drive it to Florida for the winter…that was supposed to happen last week! We had plans…
“RECALCULATING”
I’m sure most of you remember the word “recalculating” that used to be part of every GPS navigation system! When using the GPS, if you took a different or wrong turn from what it was showing you, this almost robot-like voice would say “recalculating”, and the new travel route would then show up … Well…this…
FROM THE BLUE ANGELS TO THE HELL’S ANGELS!
YES, YOU SEE THE TITLE CORRECTLY! We had the chance to go to Virginia Beach this past weekend – to see Andrew, Leigh, Nolan and Miles, but to also see the BLUE ANGELS air show!! It was at the Naval base where Andrew is stationed, and we were so excited – Leonard has seen it…
