Where are we today ?
Thanksgiving Day here in Canada and the first time in over 30 years have not got together with my kids. The scheduling did just not work out, it is what it is. We enjoyed Suzie's family yesterday and really don't mind at having a very quiet day to ourselves. This gave us a chance to actually talk, just the two of us discuss where, when and possible routes for heading south this winter. So far we have a tentative plan heading directly south to Georgia, then the Florida Panhandle, through Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Southern California. A nice leisurely drive, visiting some places we have been before and maybe even some new places. Stop here and there, no matter we should be in warmer climates and on the road travelling along, stay in some places for a few day or whatever, doing what we really enjoy. But then again those plans can change at any given time.
Today's weather is very warm in the high 60's F (20c) but overcast. So a few walkabouts the acreage, and along River road here. Read a bit here and there have been reading deprived lately. Fix a minor water leak by our water pump, top up our fresh water tank and just really enjoy a very nice day for this time of year.

Hey! Happy Thanksgiving. We had some decent weather this year, as I'm sure you did as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, same to you guys too, it was an awesome day!
DeleteNothing wrong with a quiet Thanksgiving. You two did do some serious celebrating yesterday.
ReplyDeleteYou have some ambitious travel plans. Sounds exciting.
It was a very nice Thanksgiving.
DeleteWe always look forward to traveling,the southern states.
If you want to get off I 10 and take the slow way, Rts 98 and 90 along the Gulf Coast are kind of fun... we found roadside stands that sold fresh fish, boiled peanuts and oranges... and... a late Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder we have don that route before and is nice drive.
DeleteBelated Thanksgiving to you and Suzie. We had a quiet day until our daughter called but it was simple and enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteDoes your route out of Ontario include going through Sarnia or Windsor? We could get together for a coffee or lunch before you head out. Either way we'll see you next summer.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Thanks guys.
DeleteWe are going south via Niagara Falls New York.
So I guess we see you guys next year, safe travels.
Happy Belated Thanksgiving! We just purchased our first Weber Q just like the one you guys have! :) I'll be keeping up with where you guys go because we will be in the south as well. Hope to maybe run into you guys!
ReplyDeleteSame to you guys as well.
DeleteEnjoy your Weber Q. We love ours as you well know.
Meeting up would be awesome.
I did not realize Canada celebrated a Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteWe do except for PEI,NFLD, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Not sure why?
DeletePlanning is almost as much fun as the actual trip! :c)
ReplyDeleteWell not quite but it is kinda fun. we do enjoy the trip though.
DeleteA little late, George, but, Happy Thanksgiving. Yes, as vagabonds, we often find out that it's actually possible to make it through a holiday without seeing the family for once. It seemed like it wouldn't be possible, but I've found it not so difficult at all. The family's there (wherever) and sometimes it just doesn't work to get to them when we're out adventuring.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a little better luck this year than I did last year in Louisiana - Cajun country - I loved it but certainly didn't enjoy the ice storms. Not sure if that was normal or just an oddball winter - but it was cold and I took more than one tumble caused by slipping on the RV entry steps. I see that your "heading south" time is drawing near. I'll be following along with you and Suzie.
Thanks Mary-Pat we do enjoy the lifestyle thats for sure. Will see the family this weekend instead. I think last winter was exceptionally cold in Cajun country think this year will be better, we hope.
DeleteI will be waiting for your posts.. I will be doing a simular reverse route.. Southern Calif, Az, New Mexico, Texas, La. then up to Nashville & Memphis.. then back to Calif. Will be looking forward to where you stay and what you "site-see" along the southern route. I enjoy you blog and your meals.. have tried many and enjoyed them. Thanks Dy in Northern Calif.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoy cooking too, We have done that route many times(both ways) and have seen most of the sights we want to see,(posted in previous blogs) so nothing ,much new and exciting.
DeleteSo much to see and do along they way it has taken us years, to see what we want, now just enjoy the warm climate, local areas and people.
Planning your route South ? Me, well I just go where Google tells me to go !! LOL I want the shortest way (less gas money) plus I can only drive less than 200 Miles a day - so it takes me forever.
ReplyDeleteWe have gone many different ways for many years, besides this is our home and we love to travel as long as it warm we will enjoy it. We get there when and if we get there, wherever there is.
