Our truck was scheduled to go into the dealership early, and being that we were stationed right across the road at the complimentary Camping World RV slot, a 7am drop-off was a breeze and pleasure, given the circumstances. Hanging out at the dealership for 4 hours whilst our Dodge was being diagnosed and fixed was NOT a…
Feeling in an auspicious mood, hubby and I set out on the road early, anxious to make our way through to Northern California, escaping the chaos of Los Angeles. The views of the surrounding mountains were breathtaking, but I could sense the impending stormy weather, The temperature was slowly dropping and rolling clouds were moving…
Go figure. The day that we decide to leave Arizona, the weather is absolutely breathtaking! And the forecast for California? A forecast of storms, storms, and more storms (rain AND snow, believe it or not). Such is life on the road. A gamble. Roll the dice and hope for those double digit temperatures :), with…
For the first time in 4 days, the Arizona sky was crisp, clear and a brilliant blue filled with glorious sunshine. Perfect weather for a few skydives. But as luck would have it, we had chosen today as our departure day for Phoenix. Catching a yoga class at the Phoenix Lululemon store and then visiting with our…
Last night we saw a really fabulous movie. “Up in the Air” is a movie about the realities of life ….. love, loss, relationship, deception, passion, humour, sadness twinged with both the ugliness and beauty of life. All this wrapped up into a messy yet tidy 1 hour 49 minute movie. I love a film…
I’m rather tired of feeling not moving my body as I used to when settled in Calgary. I had a regular routine of exercise and yoga that kept me alert, energized and fit. I’m feeling that slip away …. a role I’m not willing to take on. So today I started a new step in…
An epic storm here in Arizona …. the rain they’ve received in the last 24 hours (between 5-7 inches) amounts to more than 1/2 of what Arizona receives in a year. One can only imagine the repercussions …. flash flooding, power outages, sand storms, tornado watches. All this whilst we wiled the day and night…
Whoa, what a night! Not only was the pain and discomfort a jolt to my sleep pattern, the trailer was a rockin’ with the blasting winds and downpour of rain. Our previous Eloy winter had us see strong winds, but last night really topped the cake. I truly thought that we might actually roll over…
A shorter road trip today brought us into Eloy Arizona. Glorious mountains with tremendous gusting headwinds made for a scenic fuel-guzzling drive. As we made our way off the highway towards the drop zone, a decision to turn around and diesel up before a rocky night with an empty fuel tank. I stepped out in…
By far, today was the best travel day we’ve had in our two months of RVing. After our morning stock-up at WalMart, we set sail nice and early, with the goal of reaching El Paso by nightfall. Travelling the road less journeyed today was an incredible experience. We thoroughly enjoyed a pit stop at the…
