Packing for the Four Seasons

Peter and Marilyn – Retired and wrinkled, but with a sense of adventure – taking an opportunity as it arises, and thanking everyone involved for supporting our numerous activities whilst we’re away.

In two weeks time we set off for the trip of a life time.  Having spent seventeen formative years of my childhood on a farm north of Toronto, Ontario, I have always dreamed of visiting every province in Canada.  Given the length and breadth of this wonderful country, this will be quite a feat.  Approximately 25,000 km of driving over four months in a 24 ft Motor Home! With military precision, maps have been studied, campsites researched and endless lists have been created.

We dream of rocky coastlines, majestic mountains, miles of swamp and bush, mirages over the prairies, all intercepted with campsites on quiet lakes or rivers, and the ever friendly Canadian people making us feel at home.  The reality may be laced with the odd hiccough, not least the Monstrous Mosquitoes!

As I prepare to publish this, Toronto has been brought to a standstill by a three day ice storm and most campsites east of Toronto are still closed due to cold weather and snow.  Hence, we are packing for four seasons!

Feel free to join us on our travels via the blog – we’d love your company.

See you in September.
