20 more sleeps

We both woke up today and realised that we only have 3 weeks until we leave for Canada and the USA. I think it's beginning to hit us that we will be away for the best part of 7 months. It's exciting but scary at the same time.

As you probably have guessed, we have been researching what we are going to do and where. All of the RV parks that we will be staying at have information on what there is to do in the area, so we won't really know what we will be doing before we get there, but sure there will be plenty to do once we are.

Our first two RV parks are booked. The one in Whistler and the one on Vancouver Island and the plan is to book our next park one in advance. We have also booked our whale watching tour while we are there and we hope the Orca's are in a playful mood. We have decided to miss out Vancouver on this part of our trip as we can pretty much visit here anytime we want during our 5 months in Whistler. This does give us the opportunity to visit more places or spend longer at places we like. Jamie Oliver did his latest Road Trip program from a place called Cody in Wyoming, a proper cowboy town where they cook steak by putting them on the end of pitchforks and putting them in a big vat of boiling fat - a huge fondue if you like - which is now potentially on this list!

So, between now and then there is plenty to do. Packing for one. We have to squeeze 7 months worth of stuff into 2 suitcases each and a board bag. Not going to be easy as we have to pack for both winter and summer conditions as the weather in Southern California will be shorts and t-shirts.

Short and sweet this time!

p.s. We will have to stock up on lots of supplies just after we collect the van and we plan to do it at Wal-Mart - where we hope to see a lot of people like this!!
