In the Beginning...

So here we are.

The intent of this blog is to share our wanderings with family and friends.  I mean wanderings in the most ideal sense of "wu wei", or "going with the flow".  Wu Wei is a much more elaborate concept: Wu wei , but "go with the flow" will do.  Travelling well means not worrying about the destination, but enjoying the process.

Wandering has been a long term interest, no doubt inherited from my father (Let's sell the house, Lorna, and move to New Zealand).  In our youth, we tented.  Nancy's first vehicle was a VW Westphalia, with which on our limited budget, we explored western Canada.  During the family years, we borrowed Dad's small tent trailer.

We progressed to our first fibreglass trailer, a 14 foot Triple E Surfside.  It provided us with the wonderfulness of a dry bed, furnace, and propane fridge.  We took it on major excursions, including BC (British Columbia), and south to California, as well as a great wander south along the Mississippi.

This led to our Bigfoot 19 foot 5th wheel, which was an ideal combination of portability and comfort.  As we were able to spend more time on the road, we further explored BC, Washington, and Oregon, and made our first foray into snowbirding, ending up in the Everglades, Florida.  And it was good.

As my neuro-muscular disability progressed, I needed more space and creature comforts, resulting in our present RV, a 2001 Bigfoot 29 RQ with a Honda Accord towd.
