Sleepless in Seattle
We started our day with a short walk over to the oldest Dive bar in Seattle for breakfast. The 5 Points Cafe and Tavern where apparently you can have a liquid breakfast there if you would like. (We did not) The food was so good. We both had the Meat 3 way Omelette/scramble, and enjoyed…

Back in the US of A… again….
Today was a day of preparation. We had a leisurely morning, and did a bit of last minute shopping at Walmart, and re-packed our stuff as we were downsizing from our Phase One – Driving across America, and moving towards Phase Two – At Sea. We were leaving one suitcase, the cooler, and other “driving…

Apples!🍎
It’s been a wonderful few days living on an apple orchard. Our wonderful former Ottawa neighbours have hosted us in the Victoria area (Metchosin) for 4 days, at their beautiful farm on the shores of the Juan De Fuca Strait. Unfortunately the rain (atmospheric river level 4) kept us indoors for a bit, although still…

Thankfully, the drive was fairly smooth, with only one small slowdown for traffic, We arrived in the greater Victoria area just…

Giving Thanks…
There is something about the thanksgiving weekend, the air has turned a bit crisp at night, the leaves have changed colours, and our minds and bodies just know it’s time to slow down, and just appreciated life. So we did. It was a joy to spend the weekend with family we don’t usually get to…

Back in Canada!
We woke up in the US, and ended our day in Canada! We left our motel and headed into Seattle for a quick lookie loo around. We will be back before our cruise for two days, so we just wanted a quick check to figure out the lay of the land downtown, and plan our…

This sh*ts getting real…
One week and counting down! This past week we started doing all those bits and pieces we need to do to be ready to leave. We wanted to get new, matching, nesting luggage, so that we could both carry a lot, easily and, to be able to tuck the luggage away, once we are onboard.…
