This morning we woke up and prepared breakfast - fried eggs on brioche toast with Swiss cheese. Shelley made her tea, and I brewed up some Chock Full ‘O Nuts coffee that I had bought at Walmart the night before. With breakfast done, we turned our attention to getting the RV ready for our trip from our campsite to park it up at the Ferry Terminal in Hingham, Massachusetts. The parking lot was huge and cost $2.00 bucks to park for the day. We took the ferry across the harbour from HIngham to Boston landing right at the edge of downtown…steps away from the Quincy Market. We had Maggie in her backpack carrier and she loved being able to come with us. Today is Maggie’s 1st birthday, so she spent it in style. From the ferry, ... read more

We made it from Ottawa yesterday to Middleborough, Massachusetts arriving a little after 5:00 pm. This was our first time driving an RV. The engine is a bit louder than we’re used to, and there’s more ‘correction’ to be done to keep oneself ‘centred up’ the lane of travel. The wind is more easily felt while you are driving as well, which when received as a ‘gust’ of wind, it can set your heart jumping a bit. Crossing the border at Ogdensburg was a breeze. There were three cars ahead of us and it took us no time to arrive at the border agent’s booth. We were asked if we were vaccinated. “Yes,” we replied. “Do you have proof?” Shelley gleefully reached in to her treasure trove of papers and whipped out two freshly printed copies ... read more

Well, we picked up our RV this afternoon after I had finished a long day at work. Shelley and I drove to the Westboro area of Ottawa to meet our hosts Malcolm and Michelle, whom we rented the RV from (Outdoorsy.com). After receiving the required inspection and familiarization tour of the RV, Malcolm took us each out for a test drive of the RV through the surrounding neighbourhood and onto the 417 and back. Shelley did awesome!! This will be a fantastic adventure that starts tomorrow morning. We brought the RV home and the neighbours enjoyed seeing us loading her up in preparation for our departure the next day. It took longer than we thought loading things into the RV but we managed to get it done. Now it's time to shut down and get some ... read more

We have our dates lined up now and we've booked our reservations for the RV sites where we want to stay. We plan to leave Saturday morning early to drive down into the US towards the Boston, MA area. We've planned on staying three nights in that area taking in some sites before we leave to head to Bar Harbour, ME. Two nights in Bar Harbour area to take in the beaches and quaint shops. Next, we depart for Fundy National Park Campgrounds to stay there for four nights. We've bought bicycles to travel around with while we're at these various campsites. We then leave Fundy for the Quebec City area. We've landed on a campground on the tip of Ile-d'Orleans; about 45 mins east of Quebec City. After a couple of nights there, we'll heave ... read more
