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

6/17 - We're in Anchorage

 We left Tok, Alaska this morning at 5:00 A.M. to drive our son Kane to the airport in Anchorage 325 miles distance.  The early departure was decided upon due to a road condition report that suggested we may need a lot of extra time.  There were some bad spots and one stretch of a few miles at 20 MPH, but since it was Saturday there were only two spots that had road crews on the highway so we arrived in Anchorage about 12:30 P.M.   We had lunch with our son and then dropped him at the airport for his flight back to Ft. Wayne, IN.  Our future Daughter-in-law, Dani, stayed in Tok with her Father visiting for another week.

The drive to Anchorage produced some pretty great scenery - here are a couple shots that make you want to just sit and look and wonder at the majestic beauty of it all.
