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…

Just a short drive..
Or so it was supposed to be. This morning we were just going to drive the short distance between Spokane and Issaquah, a bedroom community outside of Seattle. That was the plan. It was only a 4 1/2 hour drive. Until we hit the construction. Which took 1 hour and 45 minutes to pass through.…

And so it begins!
Only 4 minutes behind schedule, we had the car packed and ready to go! Honestly, this selfie was the cause of the delay! The fall colours were beautiful, they finally came alive. The morning started cool, and made for some spectacular misty views as we passed the little lakes A quick stop at a picnic…

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.…
