The kindness of strangers….
Originally posted June 24, 2025 Updated June 29, 2025 Today is Tuesday, June 24, and we are still in Halifax when we had expected to be visiting Peggy’s Cove and staying in Graves Island Provincial Park. We had stopped by the grocery for some last-minute supplies late on Friday before checking into Shubie Campground in…

Québec City
This was our second attempt at “City Touring” in our motorhome. Unlike Montréal, which does not permit any RV parking in public streets, we could have attempted to drive into the city and park. However, we wanted to visit the old part of the city, which has extremely limited parking, so we decided again not…

No……..
We stopped in the liquor store in Edmundson, NB to pick up a bottle of Bourbon. We were hoping to find Yellowstone Bourbon, which we first discovered while shopping on Prince Edward Island last year, but The Wiseman or even Knob Creek would do. Coastal Nova Scotia weather was looking to be cool, with highs…

Montréal, Quebec
Founded in 1642, Montréal is the largest city in Quebec Province and the second-largest in Canada. Although Toronto surpassed Montréal in population and economic growth in the 1970s, the city remains an important center for education, art, culture, commerce, pharmaceuticals and tourism. We enjoyed a terrific visit to this home town of a dear friend…

Uke N’ Brews
We have started our second RV trip to Canada. As some of you may recall, we had to cut last year’s trip short because we contracted COVID-19 – for the first time – while on Prince Edward Island (see Oh, Canada!). The first half of this trip is dedicated to visiting areas of eastern Quebec…

Cape Hatteras National Seashore

The campground is small, with 107 campsites and is located along NC-12, 20 miles south of the town of Kitty Hawk, NC. Whenever we…

2025 Spring Trip
Not every camping trip lasts for months and includes stops at National Parks with spectacular views. Some trips are visits to local attractions and stays at family campgrounds. We are on one of those now to get ready for longer trips this summer. This is a quick 14-day trip that includes stops in Virginia Beach,…

Improvements for the 2025 travel season
We have written an “improvements” post each spring since we started this blog in 2022. Here is another, a little more on the technical side. A concern that many people who do not own an RV ask is, how difficult is it to drive? Class B Vans such as our Ontour 2.2 was only 21′…

Welcome Spring!
It’s springtime and a young (-ish) couple’s fancy turn to thoughts of travel. (Apologies to Lord Tennyson!) But prior to heading out, we first must address a few vehicle logistics. Each fall, we have to winterize our motorhome in order to prevent damage. It’s a process…. All the water needs to be drained from tanks…
