Maiden Voyage
In and around North Hero, United States
see all photos »
We are beginning a new chapter in our lives. In April of this year we retired and began our life as full-time RV travelers in our motorcoach. This is something we have dreamed of for many years.
Our plan is to visit interesting destinations in every state in the US and as much of Mexico and Canada as we can get to.
Today November 12, 2007 after parting with as many of unecessary items as we can and cleaning out our house for sale we began our journey.
Beginning our journey..
Leaving Family and Friends from North Hero and surrounding towns.
