Growing up in Montreal and well into my twenties, I made frequent summer road trips to coastal towns like Ogunquit, Wells Beach and Old Orchard in Maine and Hampton Beach in New Hampshire. My parents would pack my brother and I in the back of our ’59 Chevrolet Station Wagon, drive all night, such that […]
After 6 months hunkering down in our winter quarters in Desert Hot Springs, CA, we eagerly departed bright and early on April 1, 2021. Some 12 states later, across 3,963 miles (6,194 km), we’ve finally reached Maine on May 24th, our early summer stop. We made sure to be fully vaccinated before we left California. There […]
Three short days is all we had in our crazy April road schedule to tour Cajun Country. Once Mr. Bond was safely ensconced in a quaint but soaked-with-April-rain campground in Poché’s RV Park & Fish-N-Camp in Breaux-Bridge, St. Martin Parish, we wasted no time to begin the exploration in earnest. Cajun Louisiana had been on my bucket […]
Desert Hot Springs, March 31, 2021 — Today is our last day at Catalina Spa and RV Resort, our winter home in the Coachella Valley in California. As much as we love it here, we’re excited to be on the road again. One of the reasons we took to this area is definitely due to […]
The arrival of March certainly marked a dubious anniversary: we’ve all been doing a pandemic song and dance for an entire year! While this past year was different for everyone, each and every one of us have lost something in this pandemic, with some people losing way more than others of course. Mark and I have […]
The pandemic stages we’ve gone through thus far remind me of the five phases of the Kubler-Ross Grief Cycle: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. All five of these can easily be applied to our collective and personal handling of the pandemic of 2020. First, in March when we learned of this terrible virus. People didn’t […]
One ‘hot’ isn’t enough to describe life in Northern California in the middle of summer 2020! Redding, our anchor for the month, is a town of just over 90,000 people in Shasta County. Some of you may recall that Redding was at the centre of extensive wildfires in August 2018 — Carr Fire and Mendocino […]
On the road again Goin’ places that I’ve never been Seein’ things that I may never see again And I can’t wait to get on the road again Boy!… I bet Willie Nelson never had traveling in the midst of a pandemic in mind when he wrote that song! So what are full time RVers […]
Spontaneity and freedom are key attractions to travel by RV. That’s what we signed up for when we sold our house and excitedly began life as full time RVers in November 2018. Then COVID-19 hit in March of this year and the world as we know it disappeared in the space of a just a […]
As I’m hunkered down in my 200 sqft house-on-wheels somewhere in the windy, hot desert of Southern California, one of my twice daily ‘exercise’ is scrolling through my Facebook feed to see what’s going on, what my Facebook friends are up to. I’ve been intrigued and amused by friends responding to the challenge of sharing […]
