It is Friday, 15 May, and May long weekend is coming up. Following this, Linda and I plan to take a leisurely drive across Canada, on a strict budget. Our sailboat has been put away for the summer, and we have found a nice young couple (Alfred and Stefanie) to house-sit for us in our absence. By posting this Blog, our friends can keep track of our progress, and perhaps keep in touch.
The trip is a bit of an adventure, and a challenge......we hope to manage on a budget of $100.00 a day for the two of us. That means a bit of sleeping in the car, and camping, and not going too far each day. If the price of gasoline keeps going up, we may end up not driving for several days, just to budget for food or other necessities. Announcing this goal publicly may help keep us more diligent in achieving this. It should also force us to slow down, and enjoy the scenery, and the people.
We have been involved in Family Research and Genealogy for years now, and this should also prove to be an opportunity to further research our roots, as we comb through whatever records or cemeteries we can find, as well as visit with relations and friends scattered throughout Canada. If there is a lookup we can do for you, as we crawl across the country, please let us know!
