Our truck is off on its travels without us. After a little sojourn in LA it will be taking a sea journey through the Panama Canal!
Which way now indeed?
Carol, that’s wonderful! Congrats on making the decision … now you can breathe a sigh of relief and just go with the flow. Do you know where you’ll be, or is that all part of the next decision? Wishing you all the best, Terri

Thanks so much Terri. We’ve narrowed it down to England or France! Maybe East Anglia, maybe Cornwall, maybe the south of France. Not quite breathing a sigh of relief yet as there is a lot to do but I think I see another travel trailer in our future, now the truck has gone to visit Europe! ~Carol

Carol, Although we have had many good laughs along with you as you made this decision, I know it has not been easy. This next adventure sounds very exciting to me as we have not done much international traveling as of yet, but it is on our radar. Who knows, we may still meet up. Looking forward to your European adventures. Best to you both. 🙂

Off we go on the next episode of life… truck leading the way? or do you get there before it?
I would think Europe would be quite the place to tour in summer, England, Scotland, Ireland all have their beauty as well… my daughter and her Hubbie did the British Isles thing and loved it… also Germany, Italy etc…
