We’re now solidly on our way east, estimating arriving in Central Florida by the end of the month.
We prefer not to be planners, but we are intention setters. So I thought I’d share with you today how our intentions ahead are looking.
- Early April: Time with family & friends in Central Florida.
The main timing influencing our arrival is catching Chris’ folks at the tail end of their snowbird season. We’ll likely be in the Spring Hill area during this time period, and then perhaps wandering towards the east coast.

Cruise to Montreal! Late April: It’s time for our next non-RV adventure!
We’re joining my mom on a one-way repositioning cruise from Florida to Montreal – exploring the east coast along the way. We’re looking forward to checking out Boston, Bar Harbor, Nova Scotia and other stops along the way.
While we’re gone, we’ll be leaving the bus in the shop for upgr…. oh wait… NO WAY!!!
We learned that lesson last summer. The bus will be nicely parked in storage, and ain’t no one touching her while we’re gone!! (Kiki has a cat sitter lined up.)
- Early May: Exploring Montreal & Return to Florida.
Once our cruise drops us off in Montreal, we have rented an AirBnB within walking distance of public transit for a few days to explore the city. Options for returning back to the bus & Kiki range from taking Amtrak back to Florida (with an overnight or two in NYC), or…. some other potential return adventure. We still have some planning to do.. and if we have any readers familiar with (or even in) Montreal or NYC, we’re definitely open to tips and invites.
- Summer: RVing to New England!
We’ve never gotten further north on the east coast than Philadelphia in an RV (although we both have traveled that way in the past). And while we didn’t want to commit to attending & presenting at the Vermont Escapade in July, we’re still keeping intentions of heading that way. So, once we return to Florida, we’ll likely start a slow meander back up the coast on land.
Once we get up in the northeast, who knows what adventures will find us. We know RVing up that way is much more expensive than we’re used to, more traffic, tighter roads, low clearance spots, pricey tolls, denser population and more crowded campgrounds.
Basically, some of the aspects of RVing that we dislike will be much more pronounced. Which is one reason we’ve avoided it thus far.
But we also know this area of the country has beauty, history, culture, charm and is full of awesome people – so we should suck it up and do it. Cellular coverage should be pretty darn good. So, there’s that.
So tips, tricks and must-dos up in the Northeast are most appreciated – especially things that get us out of big population centers. We’ll appreciate some extra doses of adventure to balance out the aspects that intimidate us. But we’re definitely looking forward to some new-to-us places to explore!
Hello Cherie and Chris
We appreciate your information’s on your blog; it has been very useful to us. As we are newbie’s in RV travelling, and follow your blog regularly. We succeeded to go 4 month on a RV trip, and loved it.
Soon you will go to Montreal, if you have room in your schedule, we would be very pleased to meet you, for a Dinner or ”un apÁ©ritif”.
We live not so far from Montreal in the countryside, about one hour by car. We own a fruit farm (www.paradisdesfruits.com) next to wineries and beer brewery in the Appalachians hills.
Enjoy your stay in QuÁ©bec, see you on the road
Thanks! We’ll only be in Montreal for a few days (May 7-12) and will only have public transit to get around. But if you find yourself in the city, do let us know.. we always love a meetup! Writing us at contact@technomadia.com is the best way to be in touch.
We’re from Montreal, let us know how we can help!
Georgia has a wonderful state park system, and you may pass choose to through some of it on your way north. I suggest you stay at Skidaway Island SP and visit Savannah. Don’t miss the PinPoint Museum and lunch at Mrs. Wilkes’! Unicoi, FDR and Hard Labor are other great state parks/campgrounds in that state’s systems that we visited.
Any chance of passing though Miami on your travels? If so, please email me privately! Good luck~
Thanks Ron.. we have enjoyed a few GA state parks in the past, and hope to get to some more this summer on our way northward. Don’t think we’ll be getting south of Central Florida this season however, but do keep an eye out if that should change.
While you have already received a number of great suggestions. I will add my thoughts as well –
Though having lived in southern California for the last 14 years my wife & I grew up in NJ, went to school in PA and Atlanta, and then lived and worked in Plattsburgh, NY, Saratoga Springs, NY and then near Columbia, MD. So we have done a lot of travel up & down the East coast. Some suggestions –
Tolls – no reason for you to have to pay much- if any – tolls traveling in the East. Just pick your route and stay off of the main Interstates highways once you get up to the DC area. The worst tolls are I-95 in MD & Delaware north of Baltimore, the NJ turnpike (which you do not want to go on anyway – the most boring drive in the world), the Mass Turnpike, the Maine Turnpike, and most of the major bridges. However – unless you are in a hurry you can avoid all of them. For example – in traveling North from Baltimore head due north to Harrisburg and pick up I-81 north. Follow to Binghampton, NY and pick up I-88 (a scenic, and very un-crowded interstate) to Albany, NY. From there you can head north on the “Northway” (I-87) toll free all the way to Montreal, or you can branch off onto many side trips into the Adirondacks or head over to VT and NH. It all depends on where you want to go.
One suggestion in heading north from Florida is to head towards Tennessee or Western VA and pick up the Blue Ridge Parkway / Skyline Drive for a beautiful drive through the mountains while taking you North. You are also not far from I-81 (toll free) if you need to jump over to that for faster travel time. But I suggest following the mountains and going into West VA – very scenic.
The Adirondacks in the NY are beautiful, and if you want some of the best lakes for kayaking head for the upper Saranac lake chain just west of Lake Placid. Many quiet lakes set in the mountains, full of many islands, and inter-connected so you could Kayak for days if you wanted.
From there you could head over to VT by going around the North end of Lake Champlain through Rouses Point, over to Burlington. From there you have great access to all of VT or NH. We love NH in particular for the White Mountains and some of the many lakes. We used to rent homes in the summer on Lakes Winnipesaukee and Sunapee – great for quiet boating, swimming and relaxing. Great hikes in the White Mountains.
Over to Maine – if you have not done so a drive following the coast is very scenic and quaint. But our all time top recommendation for your trip this summer – by far – is Acadia National Park. We have visited many National Parks throughout the country, and find them all to be great (National Park management is one of the best things our government does!). But our top favorite is Acadia – by far! Great hikes, the best biking anywhere, and a cute town (Bar Harbor) with some good restaurants. And since you have recently gotten new bikes you HAVE TO pedal through the carriage roads built into the mountains and around lakes. Just fantastic! The most scenic route – in the NW corner of the park – will take you up the side of a mountain and give you great views (to the North and West) of the only fjord in North America – Somes Sound. Be to use the N.P. map showing all the carriage roads as there are many intersections which can get confusing. But no cars and very few carriages on any of it. In August if you head up higher you can find many wild blueberry patches to pick from. You must also stop at The Jordon Pond House – on Jordon Pond – for some afternoon fresh baked popovers and lemonade. In nice weather you can sit out on the lawn looking over Jordon Pond – just beautiful. There is lots of information on the web about hiking & biking in Acadia. We love it – so will you.
As you already know – stay off the interstates and hit the back roads. You can spend months poking around New England going through quaint towns, having scenic views of lakes and mountains and just relaxing. Should be lots of parks & camping available even though popular in the summer tourist season. And then – if you stay into the fall you can be treated to the leaf change foliage for spectacular displays of mountain side colors.
We love New England and cannot wait to get back there (summer of 2017 is our current plan). I am sure you will figure it out – as you always do – and treat us with your travel experiences. Enjoy!
Well said and I totally agree….Acadia is our favorite also! And the lobster stew at Jordan Pond is amazing also.
Ayah, speaking as a native (grew up in Kennebunk,ME) you will have more to do than you think. Brown’s Lobster shack in Hampton Beach, NH (lobsta n steamers) is authentic (and not expensive). Then drive up the coast to Portsmouth. Route 1 will be slow and there are lots of side adventures (Ogunquit, Cape Porpoise) Look up the Wedding Cake House in Kennebunk and the Brick Store museum for some area history. More lobsta (or lobsta rolls) at Twin Lights in Cape Porpoise – a stone’s throw from the classic Portland Lighthouse seen on every postcard. Take the harbor cruise.
As above for seeing Arcadia and Bar Harbor. Yup, gotta do it.
In the Boston area: Minute Man Park (where the shot heard around the world was fired) and Old Ironsides; the Old North Church and lunch at Faneuil Hall; Yes, they are all tourist spots – and worth seeing (bucket list) since you will be in the area.
Maybe more later – that’s all that comes to mind right now.
BTW – We did that tour last summer as our inaugural RV trip (3-weeks) 🙂
Definitely sounding like our summer will be full of options 🙂
Howdy guys! We are right in Clermont, and we’ll be heading out April 10 for our first trip in our RV (New fulltimers!) Feel free to shoot me an email if ya’ll would like to grab a drink and talk geek!
Congrats on your first trip! We’ll be in Clermont from April 17 – 20, if you’ll be back by then. Let us know.
We’re in the Boston area. We love Maine – especially awesome when it’s hot elsewhere. Bar Harbor, ME is fabulous. North Conway, NH is great – we stayed at http://sacorivercampingarea.com/ and loved it. Off the beaten track only 1.5 hours from Boston is a great, quiet state campground http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/dcr/massparks/region-central/pearl-hill-state-park.html. There’s also some good camping out on the Cape if that’s of interest with easy biking into town.
Thanks for the recommendations, we’re looking forward to getting up there and exploring.
You’ll love the hiking in Franconia Notch in NH. I would love to meet you (and perhaps show you a great dinner or breakfast place) if you make it to northern NH.
It’s very likely we’ll get up that way.. keep in touch as we get closer.
I definitely will, thanks.
Letchworth State Park in Western New York is absolutely beautiful. And make a stop in my birthplace, Cuba, NY, home of the Cuba Cheese Factory, the very best extra extra sharp cheddar cheese in the country.
Mmmmm…. cheese 🙂
Acadia National Park was one of my favorites while we were traveling the US with our kids last year (and we saw a lot of national parks!). I can’t wait to get back one day. Beautiful hiking (check out the carriage trails). Catch sunrise on Cadillac Mountain, lobster rolls in Bar Harbor and low tide anywhere along the coast. Absolutely loved it all!!
Upstate New York in the Finger Lakes region (Ithaca) was quite a site too! So much water and green, green, green everywhere – loved all the lakes and waterfalls. Tons of wineries in the area…
Sounds like we’re going to have a lovely time up that way!
Thanks so much for all the great information you’ve provided us over the years. We’ve lived in and around New England for over 50 years and are glad to share tips on NE RV travel. Here’re our highlights for places to visit:
ME
Baxter State Park/100 mile wilderness areas – remote, gorgeous, you can hike Katahdin, ME’s highest peak
Hallowell – fun artsy community near Augusta
NH
North Conway – funky town, great restaurants, close to great hiking and sightseeing through Pinkham, Crawford and Franconia notches
Agree on Mt. Washington! Take the cog railway, drive (the Mini, NOT the bus!), or hike to the summit where you really can see forever on a clear day from New England’s highest peak
Agree on CT Lakes area/Pittsburg, Dixville, Errol, Rangeley Lakes, lots of 4-wheeler rental places to get deep into the forests
VT
Burlington – artsy, college town, lots of music, on beautiful Lake Champlain, most ferries can handle the bus
Mad River Valley – about 45 miles S of Burlington, ski town in the winter, artsy in the summer, year-round outdoorsy communities near great farms, farmers’ markets, hiking, gaps
Mt. Mansfield – hike or drive to summit of VT’s highest peak
MA
Berkshires – lots of hiking, hike or drive to summit of Mt. Greylock, MA’s highest peak, catch a concert on the lawn at Tanglewood
Cap Code/Islands – gorgeous seashore, cute towns, can get crowded on summer weekends, you may want to aim for week days and take back roads, ferries to Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket could be tricky with the bus, although you can leave it parked on the mainland for a fee
CT
Simsbury – suburban (Hartford) area with nice hiking, extensive, well developed rail trail network, home of Simsbury Performing Arts Center, a fun outdoor venue hosting a variety of concerts
NY
Lake Placid/Saranac Lake – great hiking, lots of kayaking/canoeing (rentals available), cute towns in the heart of the Adirondacks, hike Mt. Marcy, NY’s highest peak (yes, there’s a theme going on..)
Saratoga Springs – historic town, home of Saratoga Performing Arts Center with great concerts (that theme thing again…)
Agree on Bethel Woods/Woodstock
New Paltz – don’t know where to suggest you stay, however, the historic Mohonk House will take you back in time to Dirty Dancing days, and the estate features great hiking with great views of the Shawangunk Ridge famous among rock climbers
Quebec
Agree on Montreal and Quebec City! Beautiful!
Enjoy your trip north and exploring New England! Drop us a note anytime if you have questions or we can help. We’d be able to suggest good RV routes around urban areas – DC, NY, Boston, if you need ’em. And thanks again for all of your RV tips!
Sue
Wow! Thank you so much for all of this great info. We’ll makes sure to refer back to it many times.
Looks super exciting! We’ll be taking notes!
Nina
Absolutely Montreal and Quebec… I took my three children on a week long homeschooling trip with our Aliner about ten years ago. I totally fell in love with the old world charm and history! Beautiful.
We’re excited.. we’ve booked a few nights in Montreal to explore around.
Cherie, I second the suggestion to hit Quebec City. An old, walled, European styled city unlike any other in N. America. Your day trip while docked will give you a taste but if you are left wanting more it’s only a short drive from MontrÁ©al. We stayed in the Fleur de Lis, a small hotel in the old city and found that a great base to explore from. The quaint little cobblestone streets, the fort, the lower city, and the Plains of Abraham just outside the walls where the French lost their foothold in the New World. Amazing history and culture.
Awesome.. who knows, we may even get up that way again by RV. Anything is possible at this point.
Pennsylvania has great State Parks. If you want rural, in north central Pa visit the Wilds of Pennsylvania with over a million acres of mountain forest lands. only draw back cellular is non existent in some areas. Kettle Creek State park lower campground is a fav of ours
We will be taking time off from our motor home after a year and summering at our cabin in Northeast Pa. We regret that it is impossible to get a bus into our place. However there is a state park nearby and we’d love to met up with you and show you around go hiking, or just have you for supper. It’s Promised Land State Park A few miles off I84 (30 min from NY state line) Lots of sites, lakes, hiking and a 30 minute drive to the northern Delaware Water Gap National Recreation area where there are Lots of waterfalls, Dingmans falls, George Childes State Park Falls, and raymondskills falls.
Also if you’ve never been to Bethel Woods NY, aka Woodstock, put it on your list! They have an OUTSTANDING museum on Woodstock covering politics & music of the era, memorabilia, and lots of videos & music! You can walk the famed Hill, and they have created on outstanding concert ampitheatre hosting top bands. Maybe a fav of yours will be there this summer.
Enjoy your family time in Florida! And feel free to contact us about anything Pennsylvania maybe we can be of help.
Thanks so much for your suggestions, Cindy! We’ve put Promised Land SP on our potentials map, with a note to reach out if we end up passing that way.
HI, Even tho you’re not planning. (We know all about plans… :0) If you do decide to wander up NE way, you might consider getting a Truckers Atlas if you don’t already have one. Your bus isn’t as tall as my 13’6″ tracter/trailer, but, still pbly taller than a couple of 9′ bridges I’ve seen. It also has bridge and road weight limits and other interesting info, including all roads trucks are allowed on. Pick up at almost any truck stop. My GPS’s (plural) lie a lot, so it’s nice to have backup, especially when there are no bars, and not even a 1X!!! Y’all have fun!
Mary A
There is a great state park in Camden Maine just south of Bar Harbor (which I find too congested) and yet close enough to explore Acadia Natl Park… Enjoy!
Awesome.. thanks for the suggestion!
We are full time now but grew up in RI & Southeastern MA. This summer we’ll be parking the bus in East Greenwich RI and once again moving aboard our old Chris Craft “motoryacht”. Not clear if you are RV’ing that far north but there is not much in the way of cheap or free boondocking and yes the private parks are expensive due to their short season. The summer is the worst time in regard to crowds. Contact us if you plan to head up that way and we can give you some thoughts. As for driving from FL to NE, I-95 is fine up to and beyond Richmond VA., but north of there we prefeqar to avoid it thru DC, Baltimore, Philly and NYC. You can scoot around NYC by taking the Garden State Pkwy and Tappanzee Bridge but that’s a zoo too. In the northeast, except for the Garden State Pkwy, generally stay off any road with “Parkway” in its name (low bridges). These days we usually take I-81 to I-84 to avoid all of it (and mostly no tolls), at least when the temps are above freezing. It’s a big help to have an EZ-Pass to avoid the cash lanes at toll booths. If you want to stay coastal, one route we have done is up the DelMarVa – once you get past Norfolk and the 17 mile Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel, US13 is a fairly peaceful tho slow drive, but then you will eventually find yourself back on I-95 around Philly. Have Fun!
We had a lot of fun in Montreal for a couple days. Old Montreal is great, poutine was surprisingly tasty, biodome was an interesting couple of hours, and we found a breakfast place we particularly enjoyed named Bon-D (https://goo.gl/maps/PcEwm9iaWWR2).
We did AirBnB in a simple basement room in a townhouse with a few college girls, walking distance to the metro. They were very polite and helpful. All but one person we found spoke English, we purchased metro tickets from him.
I live in Pascagoula MS. There’s a great BBQ place called The Shed. It’s just off the interstate, next to a camp ground. It’s not much to look at, but the food is real good. It’s outside seating, but the weather should still be nice. When you get closer, let me know if you want to meet there for dinner, or somewhere else.
Cool.. we’ll most likely be passing through that area late Monday morning, and needing to get solidly into Florida that evening. So unfortunately, dinner won’t line up well for us.
One thing I have never done, and regret, is the Smithsonian… not really an ideal RV destination, but such a great thing to see if you’re passing through that part of the country. I hear Pohick Bay regional park is a decent base – not cheap (but not much more than most east coast places) or incredibly close.
We love exploring the Smithsonians – we have actually spent some time in the DC area over the years.
Sounds like another great summer ahead. I’m sure the storage will work out much better 🙂
Hi You Two,
Looking forward to you guys hopefully coming to Mass for the Cat trip to the Vineyard. It looks like you will be traveling to Nova Scotia as well? If so, we’d love to find out when. We will be up in the northeastern part of the Bay Of Fundy camping at our cousin’s place inches from the bay itself. If the timing is right, you may want to join us? It’s free and spectacular! Enjoy your summer. ~Scott & Jeanne McLeod
We definitely have routing your way on our list, and will be in touch as things firm up to coordinate schedules 🙂
For Nova Scotia, currently our stops there are just the port visits on our cruise – which unfortunately are just daytime stops. Not sure we’ll make it up that way via RV, but you never know.
Hello,
I live near Montreal. I’m disappointed that you don’t come with your bus because I’d love to visit it as I follow your adventures since a while.
Are you open to participate to a meetup for a digital nomads group in Montreal ?
Have a good day.
Pascale
Hi Pascale – we haven’t yet made our plans for staying in Montreal. But if a meetup was happening while we were around, we might be open to attending. So please do send us any info you can on that.
And you never know where we might end up in the bus 🙂
Mitch and I were from New England before becoming full-time RV travelers and it is definitely not RV-friendly with all the trees blocking satellite signals and narrow winding roads. It isn’t easy to find RV parks for big rigs, much less free places to park an RV. So we recommend you make reservations now to reserve the rare big sites at popular summer destinations like Lake Champlain in Vermont and Cape Cod, MA.
Don’t miss the beaches and lighthouses near Gloucester, MA, and if you can get to the White Mountains of NH, like near Franconia Notch or North Conway, plan to look for swimming holes and waterfalls (I can tell you some)!
And we have a recommendation! The closest campground to Boston is the Boston Minuteman Campground in Littleton, and we enjoyed our stay there. It’s wooded (satellite TV won’t come through, but Verizon 4G signal is strong), it has a rare swimming pool, and has some space between campers (usually). It’s a great location –we used to live in the next town, Acton. But reserve a spot as soon as you can. If it fills up, you’ll be camping at WalMart!
http://www.MinutemanCampground.com
One thing that’s great about New England is that you can have a campfire, unlike in most parts of the southwest. So enjoy that!
Thanks for the recommendations.. much appreciated.
As we don’t have satellite anything, trees are no worry other than potentially scratching our new paint job 😉
Have fun!
I have traveled from southeast to north east a couple of times. Taking 75 to Knoxville TN then 40 to 81 and taking that north is a much nicer trip than taking 95 or 85. There is less traffic, better roads, and nice scenery.
It’s more miles, but it’s miles well spent in my opinion. I would assume that it would be cheaper, since it’s not as busy.
If you are ever driving along the Mississippi gulf coast, I would love to treat you to dinner. I’m in the process of remodeling a house that sits on a half acre. It will be done in a couple months. If you ever need a place to stay, you are welcome to stay in my back yard. I’m building an rv garage in my back yard, and you can hook up to power if you need to.
We’ve done the trip from Florida to TN many times over the years – we will probably stick more coastal this time around.
And we’ll actually be traversing through Mississippi in about a week if you’re around.
Another cool place if you hit the area in early Oct is http://www.mooringscamp.com/
If your looking for a real off the grid place to spend a few days take a look at Ramblewoods in Pittsburg NH, great little campground on the First Ct Lake. http://ramblewoodcabins.com/
Thanks for the recommendations!
We definitely agree with Ed about Old Quebec City. It is a must see. Old town Montreal is great also. We found that saying “Bon jour…par les vous Anglais?” will get you much farther than a ‘hello’ response to someone saying ‘Bon jour’ to you.
Also, Acadia National Park has some awesome day hiking. During our careers, we would go there every three years from Michigan for our summer vacation. It gets crowded in August, but there are places to get away from the crowds. Have fun!
If you see a fifth wheel with two ketchup and mustard kayaks on the roof of the truck heading west on I-10 next week, give us a toot. We’ll do the same. 🙂
Cool.. we look forward to our cruise port stop there. Looking forward to exploring up that way. Safe travels on I-10, be sure to keep an eye on the closures as you approach the LA/TX border. We’re intentionally routing north of there.
Thanks, Cherie! We’ve been watching at area carefully. We will make our decision when we get to Baton Rouge. Safe travels!
I have lived in northeast Pennsylvania my entire 52 years, mostly in the same county. I live in the small historic town of Tunkhannock. As you know the best way to find local treasures is to talk to some one who lives their. As it turns out I also own Stony Mountain Family Campground and would love to have you stop by for a visit and a guided tour of our little slice of heaven. Our website is(stonymtcampground.com) also has links to the local visitors bureau.
Cool.. thanks for the invitation. We’ll mark it as a potential stop.
A couple of suggestions for Maine (we’ve been going for over 16 years) if you don’t mind RV parks – Sunset Point in Lubec and our summer home, Palmyra Golf and RV (great Verizon signal – note much of north and western Maine is devoid of any cell service). Lots of great dining options (and Allagash Brewery) in Portland, consider Wild Duck Adult campground for tranquility if you want to explore that area. Route 2 across Maine is fine; we don’t recommend 16 (or 4 west of Farmington) unless you have to (twisty with lots of logging trucks). LL Bean has some fun outdoor adventure classes – kayaking, fly fishing, etc.. Most supermarkets will steam your lobster for you – much cheaper than dining out.
Thanks a bunch for the suggestions!
Looks like you found someone in/near my current home town of Tampa. Lots of stuff to do in this town too. If you have any free time when in the area let me know would love to meet up for a cocktail. But I know you are busy. I’m originally from the Northeast and yes, lots of things to see and do and right on point with traffic and tolls and low clearances.
Not sure we’ll get as far south as Tampa, but we never know. Our focus on the west coast will be visiting family a bit north of there in Spring Hill.
Lets see, some things that don’t cost a lot, by car, cross over all (3) the notches in VT. take in the 100 mile view in Marlboro VT, see water falls billed as the prettiest falls in VT on RT 100. See the Hanna Dustin Memorial just north of Concord NH learn of her abduction by Indian and how she single handed killed 10 of them . Hike trails in Pisgah state park, 2 miles from my door yard which is large enough for you bus and more, attend the pickle festival in Winchester NH, or the Garlic Festival in Wilmington VT (garlic Ice cream can be tasted). Should ride the Cog rail road to the top of MT Washington $$$$$ Then relax at our lake side camp in Northern ME.
Thanks for the recommendations, and sweet parking invitation. I think we’re going to need to find a way to organize all of this information so we can do a bit of planning and remember where to go when we get there 😉
Come visit cape cod…leave the bus in my yard and explore in your car…nice state pk here..Linda
Awww.. thanks Linda. Always appreciate parking invitations. Makes traveling in these places so much easier.
That cruise looks great. I hope you blog about it. My non-cruising husband said he would actually consider going on one like this. And I laughed out loud when I read “While we’re gone, we’ll be leaving the bus in the shop for upgr…. oh wait… NO WAY!!!”
P.S. Just read your article in the latest Escapees magazine. Well done.
Thanks for noticing the magazine article, Corinne! And for sure, we’ll share about the cruise. We love cruising, and find it a great way to mix up our travels.
I’m planning on being in Maine by mid summer. Look me up when you get there – might be able help you find some nice boondocking sites! I’ll be parking my rig at my dad’s right on the coast…
Thanks Robert! Keep in touch for sure, and enjoy your summer up there!
You will really enjoy the Maritimes. We were in the Quebec area last September and really, really, loved Old Quebec City. Be sure to have some Poutine there, it doesn’t get any better and just walk and walk around the old town. It’s as close as you can get to France without going. Check out our post about our time there,
http://whackamolewheels.com/2015/10/06/hello-ontario-au-revoir-quebec/
and get croissants and coffee at Le Maisson Smith each morning on the square at Palace Royale.
We are heading back to Maryland for a few weeks for a couple of funerals before deciding how and where to go next.
Enjoy!
Ed
PS We met up with you and Chris at Picacho Peak last Spring before the Escapade. Had a nice Happy Hour visit.
Great to hear from you guys! Thanks for the tips on Quebec, we’re looking forward to our adventures up there.
