We're home!! We had an uneventful trip home from Mexico and thats what every Rver hopes for. No trailer trouble, no truck trouble. Before we left Mexico, there was huge concerns about the drug wars in Mexico. We chose to only stay in campgrounds, instead of Pemex gas staions, and travelled with another couple for safety. We took it very seriously but after all we do live in Vancouver. Could Mexico be any worse!! No problems. Took 3 days to get across the Mexico/US border and arrived in Yuma. It was nice to hit the grocery store and clothes stores. We toured around a little and met up with fellow LaPenita people for dinner one night. We have such a large RV network now, it is great. 80% of Lapenita campers are from B.C. or at ... read more

Heyy, I still cannot believe I am doing this!!! In two days I will be on a plane to Paris! Probably crying my eyes out for the first 2 hours of the flight.. sorry Ewa :( Today has been spent panicking and running all over Vancouver getting all those last little things I need.

Well we are home and it is just as wonderful as I could have hoped!! Had 2 lovely days in Hunter Valley wine area. Stayed at a great place but you know what, we are wined out, toured out. The only real interesting thing about the place was that one of the wineries had a breathalyzer. I had myself put on the car insurance just for this part of our trip and I'm glad I did. The legal limit is .05 and that is not alot. Larry picked a straw out of a bin, inserted the straw in a slot in the machine and blew like crazy, waited for a few minutes and up popped .053. That really was OK because I was driving at this point but that was our second winery!! Most wineries also ... read more

Here it is January 8th. I finished working on Friday, Jan 4th and Larry will finish January 11th. We had a great Christmas and New Year. Lots of friends and family. Christmas Eve saw 27 of us eating lasagne, chicken wings and salad as is Family Tradition and then up the next morning to go to Ross and Bonnie's for gift opening, home to cook turkey for Clayton, Evan, Mike and Margaret Walsh and Katherine and Karl. It was fun Santa came on Christmas Eve to the children's delight. Our family has certainly taken a shift in the last few years. We had 7 little kids here Chrismas eve. 5 were 3 and under. It was crazy but I would not have traded it for the world. Took the truck off the road. Larry cleaned out ... read more
