well, alot of time has transpired since i posted last on our trip. the rally went great as people have seen from the postings on it.
the thing i have to say about this trip is that it has been an incredible way to ease into retirement. the hockwalds and olivier's have taught us to slow down and enjoy things. not having to be in a rush has been really nice, but it did take some getting used to after nearly 30 years in corporate life being dictated to by a calendar, clock and other people. i gave them a hard time when they would say they only drive 200 miles a day. now after doing it with them for a while, it is really nice. traveling with others is really great too. we visit alot, we have dinner every nite together, we laugh alot and just enjoy each others company.
we are in lethbridge alberta, darlenes hometown and visited some of her family last nite. it is record high temperatures here and because of flooding, the mosquitoes are out patrolling looking for american blood.
we are headed to cochrane this morning to spend a week there. darlenes mom lives nearby and it is near calgary, banff and other cool places. and....jim and gail ellis, some of our fellow gurus are staying at the rv resort we are staying at. it will be good to see them after over a year.
life is good
