Made it!! Suzie and I are together again. Thanks for all your support along the way, it was awesome!

Where are we today ?

New Hamburg Ontario

        Here she is and here I is , finally back together after a whole week apart. That has never happened in the 24 years we have been together. Wow it feels so wonderful! Darn missed this wonderful woman.

        Now the rest of this posting is just about my travel day, just so I don't forget.

329 miles

      Up too early this mornig wanting to hit the road but waiting for the sunrise. So I had lotsa coffee, a walkabout, checking emails and blogs, then at 7:30  am I secured to coach and hit the road.

nice sunrise this morning too

        30 miles up the road I pulled into the Flying J in Lima Ohio to top up our propane tank.

sunday morning, good roads and no traffic

        Made good time crossing into Michigan and stopped at the visitor centre for a stretch. Then flew right past Detroit  and onto I-94 right to Port Huron.

This route is so nice no traffic and an easy drive, 
no messing with the Detroit/ Windsor border crossing.

        Just before there I stop at Marysville, to fuel the coach and stretch again, Get my paper work in order for customs and then 9 miles down the road heading across the bridge into Canada.

just follow the signs easy

gotta love it customs at noon on Sunday, no line up at all

       Now the customs agent was another wonderful human person. 1 st thing he said why are you coming back to Canada now? I smile and said some family issues. Do you have any alcohol? I said yes way too much. Told him what I had about 10 times the legal limit, we had stocked up on sale items in California before heading into the desert for a month.  Told him I left Palm Springs California last Saturday dropped my wife at the airport in Phoenix and proceeded to bring our coach back home.  Then he asked what the family issue was so I told him the way it was. He said this sounds like an emergency trip back home for you. I said yes it was not planned. So he says I will give you a break this time, have a good day. Telling the truth does pay off, there is a lot of nice people out there, even customs agents.

Wind turbines like Palm springs but much colder

        Good roads all the way home, no snow on them, no slush, no rain, perfect. All the way for the last 7 days. Does it get much better than that?  Well yes, my honey could have been with me and it could have been much warmer, and it could be in April instead of January . But the bottom line was I made and we are back together, doing what needs to be done, as much as we can.

still good roads

      This road below is the only road I drove on with snow 1/2 mile into Suzie's brother's place to park our coach.

       Now Suzie and her Dad met me there, and we had a big hug and kiss for each other. Disconnected the car and parked our coach. Grabbed some food, clothes, pillows meds etc. and back to her Dad's for supper. 

       Suzie made me supper! Yes she can cook and is a great cook, but I think this is the first time since we were dating almost 25 years ago. Pork roast potatoes and carrots in the slow cooker.

so very tasty, it was ,
Thanks Suzie

      Well that was it for my/our day, finally here, coach winterized and parked, all is good, except the weather is way to cold.

       Gotta finish this posting and hit the sack. Just want to thank everyone for all thier wonderful comments and support along the way, I sure did not feel alone, thats for sure.

       Thanks for all your positive thoughts that kept the bad weather at bay. No matter much about the weather now our house is parked for? This has been and will be a very interesting winter for us.
