Loving and Sharing full-time RV Moments, Memories & Madness
When we sold our house and picked up our coach on June 28th, 2014 we didn’t even think about what 1000 days on the road would look like or where we would go. We just did it! Today we have officially been on the road “full time” for 1000 days and the reality has been far more grand than either of us imagined. But, what does it mean?

Mardi Gras is over and it’s time to hit the road – heading west.
Go West, young man, go West and grow up with the country.
Washington is not a place to live in. The rents are high, the food is bad, the dust is disgusting and the morals are deplorable.
— Horace Greeley [1865]
We were going to the FMCA “Rally in the Valley” in Chandler, AZ and we had 1550 miles to go in 5 days. Doable? Yes!
Oh my gosh – where do I start? How do I even begin to capture the excitement, colours, costumes, people, floats, marching bands, elaborate masks, traffic? Did I mention the people? the traffic? Welcome to Mardi Gras!
It’s surprising that we’ve been on the road since July 2014 and we only just now make it to Florida.
Our travel plans did not originally include Florida as we were heading to the Canadian west again – to personally greet the arrival of Grand Baby #9! But, as is always the case, plans can change. Due to ‘sold-out’ RV parks in the Victoria, BC area we had to re-visit our itinerary. My family was going to Naples for Christmas and New Years – so, we did too.
