Where to park up!

A lot of people have asked us in our travels, where do you find somewhere free to park overnight and feel safe.  We don't seem to have much trouble with this, because we always find somewhere, it may not always be our ideal spot and sometimes it isn't for free.

Blog journal updates now in the evening

I think from now on we're going to go back to our old habit of making new blog journal posts in the late evening. It's much easier to remember all of the days activities while it's still fresh in your mind.

Personalized laptop case

Some of the deals you can find on the internet are totally amazing.

Thank you for following our blog every day!

Writing a post when you are not travelling is much harder than it seems. You want to keep things interesting which is much easier when you are travelling each day…you have a different thing to talk about as each day is different.

Wildlife

Here we are living in the city of Kingston and what do we see outside the kitchen window two nights ago? A raccoon...he sure looked pretty cute! Kevin took Whiskey out for a walk last night and saw another one peeking his head out from a culvert and found out from talking to another dog walker that there is a whole family of them living in this culvert under the driveway of the house across the street.

I Have a Cold

Yesterday I started getting the sniffles and sneezing a little bit.

NASCAR racing

I used to be a big Nascar race fan, back in the late 90's when Rusty Wallace and Dale Earnhardt Sr. were racing. The guys I worked with

Changing the oil

Well, it's warmed up outside, so I think I'll get out there and change the oil in our little car today. Supposed to go up to 2C (36F) so that's not bad for mid January. I already bought the oil on sale at Walmart a

Ecuador

We're thinking we might like to spend a winter in Ecuador.

Boondocking near cities

Why don’t cities make several areas throughout their municipality for boondocking? Instead they actually make it difficult in some cities with restrictions to overnight parking.

Travel to different places

In Canada, most people want to take a vacation south at some point during the winter. The cheapest places to go, from just about anywhere in Canada are Cuba, Mexico, and Dominican Republic. In fact, we have been to all three of these places as warmer destinations to get away from cold Canadian winters.

Our old website versus our new blog

We kept track of our first 18 months on the road at www.mytripjournal.com/kevin_ruth

But that website cost us money...I think it was around $80 per year.

Went for a hike

Well, even in the cold, you still have to live. So, we looked up some hiking trails in the nearby area and we took Whiskey for a nice walk yesterday. We ended up at the Parrot's Bay Conservation area about 18 km's (11 miles) west of here.

Looking forward to Florida

Well, we saw that our son Alex's college baseball schedule is up, so we know that we will be in Myrtle Beach, SC from March 4-7, and Fort Myers, Florida area from March 14-20. And, we've got tickets to the Martinsville, Virginia NASCAR race on March 28!

24/7 in the motorhome

When we started out on this RV lifestyle, some of the questions people asked us were "what are you going to do all the time?" and "won't you get bored?"
