New England

Our first day went very excellent and we arrived in Bangor at 7pm their time and as we came out of the Walmart in Bangor to this awesome sunset. What an omen to start our trip!!!! We spend the evening in the parking lot and it made me realize how much we have relied on electronics as we had no TV, no internet and we played a couple of games of crib(I won, hehehe!!) and relaxed on the couch and just talked....We need to relax more and I didn't realize how much work I did at home . I know believe the expression "Stop and smell the roses"

We are now in Lancaster New Hampshire, Rogers Campground and the last time we were here was 33 years and our children were 1,3 and 5 respectively!!!! This is the view from our window of the White Mountains....

Beginning our Journey

Tomorrow we hook up the truck and trailer and begin our Odyssey across Canada and USA. Our journey will take us thru the states to Ontario where we will continue in Canada and we won't be back to the states until November. We spend the last 5 days visiting my Mum in Campbellton. Updates to come

Hoboken and Hartford

Left Wendy's in the morning and had a good run and arrived in Hoboken at Carlos Bakery(Cake Boss) at 11:33am....Oh my goodness!!!! No place to park and the lineup was 3 persons thick and 3 blocks long.....Took a picture and continued our journey to Hartford....

Arrived at Melissa and Jim Bradbury at 2:30pm. Jim was away on business and we were sorry to miss him. They are very special friends. Her cat decided she liked Gary's duffel bag and made herself at home...too funny. The next day Melissa took us to Oyama Japanese Restaurant for lunch and we tried different dishes....I even tried raw salmon and raw tuna....raw tuna...did not like so much and the rest of the dishes were great. We had a very relaxing evening and I will be getting her recipes for her delicious Blueberry Bread and Anise Toast.....yummmyyyyy....She gave us some for the road!!!!!

Solomon Island

Went to Solomon Island near Chesapeake Bay for Crab Cake supper at the famous Stoney's Kingfishers Seafood House. Many thanks to Scott and Wendy and it was so awesome...They are huge crab cake balls and very delicious....See the pictures...Yummy!!! Very picturesque
