We had an fascinating time in Washington, the Americans sure have a interesting capital. But we continue to travel south getting closer and closer our destination. At times we just want to speed up and whiz through the USA but we keep finding places of interest, that make us linger. We explored...

Our journey across the USA continues and we feel sometimes as if we are drowning in information. We are learning so much about the history of this country, the battles, struggles and successes, what an amazing story this nation has. As Canadians have watched the mid term elections with...

NYC is wild especially for the two of us who prefer the wild of outdoor living. But we survived the noise, chaos and millions of people and vehicles all trying to get to somewhere else. Got caught up in Labor Union Solidarity rally in Times Square and even interviewed for the Dr Oz show. Met a...

Thanks for the comments Vic. We did make it to NYC and camped just across the Hudson River in New Jersey. Very basic campsite in New Jersey but excellent location and a quick train ride to WTC. Met lots of other travellers exploring the USA and several on route to South America. We finally...

We missed the Oyster Fest and Martha's Vineyard. One of our biggest challenges has bee making choices of what to see and where to go. There is just so much to see in this country. We had planned to visit Martha's Vineyard but then decided we loved Cape Cod so much we will be back. We did visit...

Great write up your describe the adrenaline highs felt so well. Parts of West Africa and the DRC are tough for any overlander and we too felt like they saw us as "walking ATMs" it is so sad. Safe travels

We had another learning when entering into Boston. We are not that knowledgeable about all the road signs yet so did not know that the HC with a slash through it meant no "hazardous containers" were allowed into the tunnel. Too late we were at the toll and were told no propanes allowed but we...

Good luck with your travels it sounds like it is going to be fun. It would be great if we met on route and when we are in Rio we will definitely try to contact you.

We have finally completed the video of Chicago, a fabulous city and which we both loved. Although we are not "city slickers" we are finding a lot to explore and learn about in the city as we travel across the USA. We love the outdoors but do feel we need to explore some cities. We arrived in...

Too bad we are also on the road and not in Canada currently as we would have loved to offer you a hot shower and a comfy bed. Hope the weather holds out for you to enjoy the Rockies

We had debated whether to just go south from Alaska to Argentina or do a little detour via Eastern USA. We have traveled through most of Western USA so wondered if the East would be very different and it is!. Sometimes it is hard to believe we are in the same country so are really pleased we...

Great write up, stay safe and travel well Janet and Tom

After travelling many miles from the Arctic Ocean we finally stood on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in Maine. Reaching the Atlantic was a milestone for us. We had crossed the North American continent and were reminded that the last time we stood on the shores of the Atlantic we were in Africa...

Thanks for the offer, we are not sure we will be going as far south as Florida as we will be traveling across the USA back to the west coast before heading south into Baja. But if we are your way we will be sure to contact you.

Thanks we are heading that way but are not sure we will be in time for the fall colours. But will definitely do the Blue Ridge Parkway

We are now back on the road and heading south. Our first night camping was great, tucked in amongst the trees alongside a lake. This is when I am reminded how lucky we are to be able to travel like we do. We said good bye to our son in Toronto and wonder when we will see our family and friends...

The USA has more than 4 million miles of road, how on earth do we choose a route from Toronto to California down the eastern USA and across. We don't want to just "cross the USA" we want to get into the heart of the USA. Every day we seem to have a different route. We are still in Toronto but...

Traveling as a couple there are a certain number of “differences of opinions” that need to be resolved. Living in such small quarters for extended periods has certainly challenged us in making decision such as, “is there anything else we should travel with?” I suggested...

We arrived back in Canada and are now in Toronto another family farewell this time to our oldest son. As we anticipate being on the road for about 12-18 months as we make our way down to Argentina. We are looking forward to the fall colours in the New England state when we leave Canada next...

Yes that Model A from Chile was amazing. The documentary is also amazing, a trip in 1903 was the ultimate overlanding journey, no roads, no gas stations, no maps and no spare parts. At one point in the journey by one of the other fellows driving across the USA they could only drive in reverse! I...
