Well, some may wonder "why do a blog about a trailer trip?’We, my wife Sue and I (Bill) started out about 3 years ago with a 35ft. class A motorhome. For various reasons, we decided that it was not the type of camping unit we wanted. Next ( last year 2008) we went the other extreme, a large pop-up tent trailer. Once again it was not quite right, although adequate. Our intentions, up until May of this year, were to travel to Guinea West Africa, to see our daughter Denise and family. While "over there" we intended to visit the Almalfi Coast of Italy and the Isle of Capri. Due to an unforeseen medical concern with Denise’s daughter, Denise and family were required to make a trip back to Canada, which lasted 4 months. Our plans changed. As I have been retired for a while and Sue was approaching "that age", we spoke of travelling a bit in North America. The die was cast. After purchasing a late model ¾ ton Dodge diesel and a 34 ft 5th wheel trailer, we have decided to take a year and do a circle tour of Canada and the USA. We will enter into this adventure in January 2010 from Troy Alabama. In the meantime, a few shorter trips have been or will be done. The Wine Country area of Beamsville and Vineland as well as a trip to northern Mich. to visit with friends we met in Alabama last year. Stay tuned as updates will occur on a random basis.
