Bill & Annette On the Road
 We are currently adding entries as we proceed on our first trip to Alaska. We are with a group of about 18 RVs as part of Adventure Caravan's 50-day Alaska tour.
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. |
