Yippee! "On The road again"

Where are we today ?

Lazy Lakes resort Cambria New York

            A wonderful sunny day, perfect for travelling. No Rain , no clouds and temps in the mid 60's f. Hit the road from Plattsville by 9:30 this morning and a nice back country for a while then on to the highway. 90 minutes later at the border crossing for Lewiston New York.

we turning left here 

crossing the Niagara river

         Lots of traffic at the USA customs crossing the border. But it moved fairly quick today. Only about a 20 minute wait , just enough time to make a bite to eat for lunch, Suzie drives and I whip up a bite to eat, love our motorhome!

the lines moved quickly

         Customs agent asked some different questions today. How long will we be in the states, do we cross the border at any other times and do we own a house in Canada. We answered the questions truthfully, and he asked if we had any meat, yes we have a freezer full. That was it for questions then he said we spend too much time in the states, too close to our 180 days he said. We only spend 175 days every year. That was it then told us to have a good day.
          A few miles down the road stopped at Smokin' Joes to fuel up our coach and car 65 gallons of gas at $3.29 a gallon.  That 246 litres and in Ontario was $1.15 a litre. With the 13 % exchange rate .98 cents a litre we saved 17 cents a litre ($41.82) on this fill up alone. Yep, we enjoy travelling in the states for the winter, very affordable.
         Pulled into Lazy Lakes resort and found a nice site near our friends Bill and Barb. Not a huge site but we have 30 amp and water, not overnight fees, part of our Membership camping.

nice road to the back camping area

Here we are shortly after noon all set up for a few days

      I ran into town picked up a few groceries and adult beverages, saved another hundred dollars just on this small shopping trip as well. Compared to buying the same items in Canada.
      It was warm enough to read outside in the shade for bit while I prepped supper. Tonight salmon fillets, broccoli and cauliflower in foil, grilled red pepper and a tasty salad. Just like we really enjoying and have been missing for the last few days. We are getting back on track with our healthy eating habits.

too tasty and hit the spot

         As we were finishing up supper our friend Bill arrived and stopped by to visit for a couple hours, have not seen him since his son's wedding this past June. Barb and a few more friends will be here on the weekend , looking forward to seeing everyone again.

        A perfect short travel day and an easy border crossing, warm weather a sunshine, cheap fuel and food, exactly what we are looking for.

         Thanks for stopping by again, hope you had great weather wherever you are.
