About Me

Florida, United States
June and I retired in June, 2004 and travelled for a year on our boat from Lake Michigan to Florida, then North on the East Coast through Canada, back to Southern Lake Michigan. It was the most amazing trip we have ever taken and one that will be tough to beat. We settled in Florida in the fall of 2005. On April 3rd, 2011, we departed in our Motorhome for the "BIG 2011 PLAN" We've now completed an 18,000 mile, 6 month drive from home in Florida to Northern California, North on the Pacific west coast to Seattle. From there to Alaska - with returning stops in Spokane, Washington - Oregon, Yellowstone, and other sites - then to Fort Wayne, Indiana to visit family, then back South to Florida and home. We have now traded in our motor home and purchased a new 5th wheel travel trailer and truck to continue travelling as long as life will allow. We will keep you informed as much as practical on our new site: www.Rainwatertravel.blogspot.com

5/21 Canada Tomorrow

We spent the last two days visiting some long time friends Bob & Patricia who live in Oak Harbor, Washington located on Whidbey Island in Puget Sound North of Seattle, WA.  We took the Ferry from Port Townsend over to the Island, a 45 minute ride on the ferry, then to Bob & Patricia's place by 2:30 in the afternoon on Thursday.  That evening, Patricia treated us to a home cooked dinner of baby back ribs - Ummmmmmmm - - - On Friday, Patricia drove their car and we went over the Deception Pass bridge at the North end of Whidbey Island to Anacortes, WA; another neat port town where we visited some interesting shops and had lunch outside overlooking the marina. The weather was perfect!  After visiting in the afternoon we then had dinner at a great seafood place in Oak Harbor..... The best part of these two days - just being able to spend the time with friends we haven't seen in awhile.  "THANKS BOB & PATRICIA" You guys are great!

Tomorrow we'll cross the border into Canada and our first stop will be a visit to Vancouver .........
