Welcome to our blog. Dan & I are hoping to use this method to keep in touch with family and friends while we're away this winter. You'll have to bear with us through the learning process - neither of us have ever done this before. If it works the way we hope it will, we'll keep you updated with our where-abouts and share pictures. We're hoping that you'll use it to keep in contact with us too. The most recent entry will always be at the top of the page, so if you're new here, scroll down to the bottom to start or use the archive list. Our apologies to anyone who found the Travelpod blog only to have it disappear on them, but this site seems easier to use and like I said - we're beginners, so the easier the better.

Travel blogs are boring when you're not travelling

We're dying to get Vincent II on the road, but camping in a VW with a large dog is difficult enough. Camping in a VW with 2 large dogs is not something we're willing to subject ourselves to..... Gracie the poodle is staying with us while Shirley is vacationing out east, so we opted for a day trip/picnic instead of camping. We went to Carseland (We love that name!) and hung out in the sunshine for the afternoon.


Oh, the stain on the ceiling? Dan took the steam cleaner to it and we discovered that underneath the fabric, it's just cardboard! When it got wet, it buckled and sagged...Yikes! Fortunately, it dried okay. The stain has been spread around so it's slightly less noticeable, but there will be no further attempts to remove it!
