08/09/2019 - The tour is over.   Susan joined us - Trish picked her up at the airport.  She will ride with Trish and Bev in her RV, and they are 'tagging along' with our tour across the middle of the U.S.  We are happy to have Susan join us.. and that makes 4 women and only one poor man!   Last night, we had an additional dinner out and some of the tour group joined us.  Here are some of them (Trish is on the left in pink, Susan is on the right, across from Trish). L to R: Rob & Patty, Trish, Tom, Sylvia and Walter, Susan, Michelle and Ed Today we leave Marco Polo Land Campground in P.E.I. and begin our journey home. As we were  beginning to leave the campground, we were met up with Ed and Michelle; and Bill and Cathy (our Wagonmasters), to say one more 'goodbye'.  Trish, Bev, and Susan left the campground about 30 minutes ahead of us.  We left P.E.I and drove over a 7.5 mile bridge to New Brunswick.

07/31/2019 -   Today is a driving day to Rocky Harbor.  We headed south (for the beginning of our return home).    We camped in Gros Morne RV Park in a Canadian Provincial Park.  We were scheduled for a stand up comedy show called "Anchors Aweigh" at 8:00 pm., but were not interested, and needed to do some laundry.  So we spent the day doing laundry and chores.  I called Kim for her  birthday and talked to her.  8/01/2019 - We are scheduled for a boat tour this afternoon, but are not real sure of where the harbor is.  Trish and I decided to find the harbor.  We drove to the harbor, called Norris Point.  It was a very quaint and upscale summer home location.  Then we toured the town of Rocky Harbor itself to check out the souvenir shops.  We wandered through several, then stopped to get ice cream.  Most of the houses here are painted loud colors.  It is really pretty.  Al...

Newfoundland--South to North

7/25/2019 - The Ferry to Newfoundland.  We drove from the campground in Sydney, Nova Scotia to the ferry terminal at the northern-most port of Nova Scotia.  The ferry really impressed me.  It was very big - 9 levels, with vehicle storage on the bottom 3 levels.  The staff of the ferry told me that there was 3 kilometers of parking space on the boat ( that is about 1.86 miles).  Here are my pictures of the ferry. Driving into the belly of the ferry We are driving into this narrow lane The boat ride was a little over 6 hours to get to Newfoundland.  The seating was very comfortable.  We spent the time playing games and visiting.  We had lunch in their restaurant (it wasn't very good and very over priced).  But all in all, it was very interesting.  After we got off the boat, we only had about 25 miles to our next campground, Codroy Valley RV Park, owned by Alice and Dennis.  07/26/2019 - Today is a bus tour of the Codroy V...
