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

Guy Bazin - An interesting story

5/30 - This morning we had the pleasure of meeting a French Traveller/Explorer who has been travelling around the globe for the past 5 years in his custom built Motor Home. Guy Bazin, a retired Information Technology Manager from Draguignan, France, has travelled in his RV in China, Nepal, Pakistan, India, Thailand, Cambodia, Japan, Korea, Australia, and a host of other countries. He recently spent one year travelling Australia, and on May 2nd, having shipped the RV to Vancouver, Canada, is now touring Canada, then to Alaska. Guy is 70 and travelling alone in this custom RV that caught our eye when he pulled into the RV park Sunday evening. He gave me a tour of his rig and I sure am impressed - so much, we want to do the same .... not that we actually will, but it sure gets the juices flowing as both June and I love to travel this way for extensive periods of time. We've done it before, we're doing it now, and maybe we'll get to do more.

Take a look at Guy's web site for some interesting history, pictures of the RV as it was being built, and to follow his adventure... it sure is something! We'll get back to our blog, but I wanted to share this exciting story about Guy's around the world trip.....
