Monday: Back In The USA

So we are here again, safe and well.

We had a very relaxed flight, only 8hours, 15 minutes. A nice easy passage through the airport and were on the road by 3.05. The trailer was ok, the truck started first time. Connie had made us a nice roast ham. We collapsed into bed.

Tuesday

It was lovely to see some of our old friends, Connie and Jim, Paula and Walt and Fred and Cathy. The weather is warming up and in the evening we were able to sit out under the pole barn just chatting, it was a lovely. Very relaxing.

Road Trips to America

This blog is an account of our trials and adventures in America. It had long been our plan to tour the United States. We have caravanned in the UK for many years so it seemed obvious to buy a caravan in the US. Now we had retired we wanted to take our time, not just a few weeks at a time, as we had done before. Sally has CFS/M.E. and we need to plan travelling very carefully. We do not want to travel much more than a couple of hours a day, with plenty of days off. How best to accomplish this? After much thought we have bought our own car and Travel Trailer and keep it in the U.S. We accomplished this on our first trip. We now own a 31ft Travel Trailer and 15 seat passenger van. Our second trip saw us touring round Central and Northern Florida. We spent a lot more time visiting Bluegrass and Folk Fesitvals. Our third trip was to the Northern part of Forida and the Panhandle. Our fourth trip took us North through Central Georgia to the Blue Ridge Mountains, through North and South Carolina and back to Florida along the coast. On our Fifth Trip we travelled north through Georgia., Alabama and Tennessee.
This blog will enable our friends and relatives to keep up with us, as well as providing a record of our travels.
