David and Janice take to the road again, this time across the Atlantic to North America in search of culture, knowledge and the thrill of the unexpected.

After touring across Europe for eighteen months in a 23ft motorhome, they have found it hard to settle down to a normal life and normal routine in a normal house. But, it’s not for long.

With hopes of an awe inspiring 18 month stay in North America, (though initially tied to a six month US Visa restriction) the clockwise itinerary will take them northwards following the Pacific coast from Phoenix, Arizona, to Vancouver, Canada, journeying right across Canada from Vancouver Island on the Pacific to the Atlantic coast at Newfoundland, turning southwards back into the US again to see New England in the fall - and then to chase the sun south into Florida for Christmas and west along the Gulf of Mexico into Texas.
