On our way To say that Niagara Falls was on Miliss’s bucket list was an understatement. She’s been talking about seeing Niagara Falls since we were climbing out of Georgia. She loved it-we loved it! With bits of web travel research in mind, and taking advantage of free parking (because we stayed in a state […]

New York, 1000 Islands, Wellesley Island State Campground, September 22nd – 25th
Wow, we have bandwidth again, bandwidth that is not limited as it was when we were in Canada to 1/2 gig per day, 1/2 gig is about 3 minutes of FaceTime per day with our grandchildren then our speed is less then a snails pace. We caught up with our travels on our blog, did […]
Ottawa and Algonquin Provincial Park, September 16th – 21st
A lot of cities in North America claim to be bike friendly. Ottawa has them all beat, hands down, no contest. From our campground twenty km from downtown, we took a beautiful bike trail all the way in as it meandered along the Ottawa River. It seemed like there was a park or greenway around […]
Quebec City, September 13th-15th
I had always thought that Quebec was a quintessentially French word.

On Sunday, August 29, seeing a site of great beauty, the […]
Quebec, Gaspé Peninsula – September 7th-9th
We had to go to the Gaspé Peninsula. It was a must and not because of the history, scenery, bakeries and parks. The urgency had started four days earlier. We were on our planned route to St John’s, Newfoundland when it made sense. Milissa had been saying for a few days that that big storm […]
Newfoundland, Twillingate August 30th-September 2nd
This satellite view says it, lots of hilly, craggy coastline dotted with houses and cute towns. We chose a commercial campground and we lucked out with Space #1, the only one with a view of the water. Later we saw that others just boondocked at a pull-off on some local back road next to the […]
