Jeudi trois Août, je me reveille vers 9 heures, il y a du soleil, mais on voit beaucoup de nuages au loin. On laisse les enfants dormir et on en profite pour ranger un peu nos affaires. On les reveille quand même vers onze heures, si on veut profiter un peu de la plage. Mais avant cela, ce matin, on va faire un petit plongeon dans la piscine de la résidence, il n'y a pas grand monde, on en profite donc avec Clément. Mais après vingt minutes, quelques gouttes se mettent à tomber, on rentre à l'appartement, il fait très chaud et très humide, on est bien sous un climat subtropical. Depuis la terrasse, on admire la pluie tomber en espérant que ca passe vite. Mais après avoir mangé, il pleut toujours, et désormais le ciel ... read more

Mercredi deux Août, neuf heures du matin, on charge nos bagages dans la voiture et on part, direction Myrtle Beach en Caroline du Sud, un long trajet de plus de 700 kilomètres sur la I95. Visiblement, les américains ne sont pas très disciplinés sur la vitesse. Je roule scrupuleusement à la vitesse indiquée et tout le monde me double. Vers midi, on est à Richmond, capitale de la Virginie. On quitte l'autoroute pour acheter de quoi manger, mais on perd facilement une heure à chercher un supermarché, à se garer et à ressortir de la ville. On s’arrête quelques kilomètres plus loin pour manger nos «fameux» sandwiches tellement appréciés des enfants. Après plusieurs heures de route, il faut reprendre de l'essence. Ici, il faut d'abord passer à la caisse pour pré-payer. On annonce le montant que ... read more


Hello dear readers. It’s that time again. First, let me bring you up to date. This 2017 Snowbird trip will be an abbreviated version of my usual 10-11 weeks. In the spring, a group of camping friends will be traveling up the center of the country on a caravan we are calling “The Quest for the Stamp”. We will be visiting the lesser known National Parks in the middle of the country to gain the treasured National Park Passport Stamp. We are meeting in Natchez, MS, on April 20 and will end around Memorial Day in Shanksville, PA (The site of the 911 plane crash ‘in the field’). We will be visiting places some have not been to (Tupelo, Graceland, Hot Springs, Branson, Hannibal) and adding some states to our RV maps and seeing the middle ... read more


The trip here was long and boring. Mostly because we started out with cloudy skies from Regina to Winkler, MN, with lots of cold wind and very fine snow blowing across the highway. Had a wonderful visit with my son and his family there, and his two little ones. It's so great to see these grandchildren as we only see them a couple of times a year. Got lots of lovin' and a good night's rest there, then were off to cross the border and make our way southeast. Two long days of driving (10 and 12 hour days), but because of road construction and rain, we don't get as far each day as we had planned, so the final day we got up at 6 am to try to get to Myrtle Beach in time ... read more

Geo: 33.6936, -78.8827My last day of course had the best weather of the entire trip. Sunny and warm with not a cloud in the sky! Now if the whole trip could have been like this...I left the hotel and headed north on Hwy 17. I stopped at the Visitor Center on the Mt. Pleasant side to take a picture of the Ravenel Bridge which looked so nice in the sun! Then continued on my way towards Myrtle Beach. My stop for the day was Brookgreen Gardens. This is one of the top 10 public gardens in the US according to Trip Advisor. The entrance fee is $14 and is good for 7 days. I think you get your moneys worth in one day (I spent 4 hours here), but if you like to spend a lot ... read more

...and loving it Terry and Larry went fishing yesterday, they caught sea bass and shark which they brought home and cooked for dinner, very nice, once! Vicki and I went shopping for essentials and stopped in at the " nothing over 5.99$" shop; very upsetting because in small print, which I did not see right away, was in a select section. So, junk ranged from a dollar to ....., I bought nothing. Terry was tired after fishing, so we stayed home and watched the Academy awards, tonight, steak house dinner for Vicki. We are toying with going to Murrells Inlet, SC for a seafood lunch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNfZ2moUzBo... read more
