Our moving day is fast approaching. We decided to take a break from packing and go on a short trip to Prince Edward County Long Point Road Beach. What we really needed was a distraction since we can't wait for to move to our new house, new town, and new life! Little did we know … Continue reading Prince Edward County – Long Point
As we mentioned in our last post, we loved the eastern shores of Lake Huron so much that we planned a return trip within two weeks starting at the Pinery Provincial Park. This will be another short trip, five days and 4 nights only, but we'll have a lot to share including beautiful parks and … Continue reading Pinery Provincial Park
During our month-long stay in Port Elgin, Ontario, we made a few day trips to Southampton, the next town north. If you missed our previous posts about this lovely place, take a look at The Shoreline and Fairy Lake, or you can just keep on reading. Southampton Market Our first stop was at the Southampton … Continue reading Saugeen Shores – In and Around Southampton
Yes, we are still writing about Southampton. There is a lot to do here, and this time we will share our walk around Fairy Lake. It was a nice way to relax away from the beach through this hidden gem. The trail is short; only about 1 km, but there is a lot to see. … Continue reading Saugeen Shores – Southampton’s Fairy Lake
Meaford Scarecrow Invasion has got to be the cutest town festival in Ontario. We came across it on our way back from our trip to the Bruce Peninsula; not really realizing at first what is going on. First, we noticed the strange creatures dangling from street lamps around the harbour. Interesting decorations, we thought. These … Continue reading Meaford Scarecrow Invasion
We needed to get away at least once before our trip to Gaspé later this month so we headed north to Sturgeon Bay Provincial Park. It's a bit strange to go to a park that would have been tent-camping territory for decades. Do we really need the campervan for this kind of a trip? Probably … Continue reading Mini Escape to Sturgeon Bay
The following Friday rolls around and we are on our way across the border to New York State. A cousins' reunion near Albany is the perfect excuse to get on the road and squeeze in a mini-adventure. We want to use the campervan as much as we can before taking it on a longer trip … Continue reading Around the Lake
We just couldn’t wait and went on our first campervan trip the very next day. All packed, water tank filled, dog restraining system improvised by using her harness and my captain seat, and off we go. Tony is taking the van slowly out of the driveway, trying to get the feel of driving the van … Continue reading First Trip – Prince Edward County
We did it! After months of deliberating, researching, contemplating (and a bit of arguing), we narrowed down our choice of a campervan to the Carado Banff. A couple of delays in delivery, but here we are, driving our brand new campervan home. Actually Tony is driving and I am following behind in my car. He … Continue reading Bringing Our New Baby Home
Two recent road trips across Canada and the USA led us to the decision to buy a campervan. We have always loved travelling; we backpacked through Europe and Asia in the 1980, and went on many trips with our daughters. Now that we are empty-nesters, our idea of fun is to travel as much as … Continue reading The Prequel – How We Got Here
