Bill & Annette On the Road
 We just finished our first trip to Alaska, with a group of 16 RVs as part of Adventure Caravans' 50-day Alaska tour. To enjoy that part of the blog, use the "Our Diary" tab at the top of this page to go back to May 31, 2009, to start.
Our 2008 "Guatemala Adventure" is also at this site. That was intended to be a 78 day motor home trip to Panama with Adventure Caravans, but we had a different adventure after we lost our diesel engine in the jungles of northern Guatemala. To enjoy that adventure, you will wish to start at least as far back as Feb 1st, 2008, by clicking on the "Our Diary" tab at the top of this screen. A word about the host site for this blog: GetJealous is a great site for a blog, but the name does not reflect our intentions. |
