Everyone who travels a lot develops their own style, their own preferences. For me, it’s all about the journey – in most cases, getting to a “destination” is anticlimactic and I want to get moving again. When Home is the destination, however, different rules apply, and it was wonderful...

The joy of being retired is that you can accept any fun thing that comes up. While I was in Dawson doing the last fun thing a couple of weeks ago, Cathy accepted a new job for me – helping a fellow she works with get the rest of...

We got off to an early start in Quesnel on Friday, excited about this being the last day of the road trip to Vancouver. After a big breakfast at Smitty’s, we were on the road at 06:50. Although we did get a lot of fog and ice as expected,...

My niece and I are on our way to Vancouver. She’s not comfortable with driving 3,000 kilometers by herself this time of year, and – well, I’m her uncle 🙂 This was the weather forecast for the entire route – not too bad. Mostly warmish with a bit of...

An hour after getting home from my 12-hour, 538-kilometer aurora-viewing drive to Kluane Lake, I was back on the road to Skagway. I had an exciting eBay win to pick up at the post office, and hey, it was sunny – what more reason do I need? 🙂 Starting...

I had to make a quick trip to Skagway yesterday to pick up some stuff for the motorhome at the post office and Wings, but with Fall colours at their peak, a great lunch at the Yukon Suspension Bridge and some other fun, it turned out to be a...

There were 2 primary focuses for Wednesday – first, get the motorhome paperwork done at the border (and I had no idea how long that would take), and meet my daughter and grand-daughters for dinner. Beyond, it was just “see what happens”, as usual. I was in bed early...

Travel excites me. Especially largely-unplanned travel – I love not knowing what’s around the next corner, and being able to take detours on a whim. Tuesday was one of those days – not spectacular, but very special. The well-equipped motorhome dash had an addition this morning, with a souvenir...
