We have finally begun our great adventure across this great country. The trailer is packed - thankfully not quite to the rafters, and so is the truck (now sporting a toneau cover to hide/keep dry our plethora of rubbermaid luggage). The family is very excited to finally get going since we have been in limbo for far too long. I'm sure Roy and Jean will be happy to have their driveway back too.

Margaret is very excited about the trip. We have shown her maps and tried to give her an idea of what we are going to be doing. We talk a lot about going camping but in the end I think she just enjoys saying "I am going across Canada!' to everyone she meets. We'll see what she really thinks after a few days on the road!

Liz Liz is just enjoying life at the moment. We will see what she thinks of the car rides. She's also fresh off her immunizations this morning so she may just sleep through the first leg...

Manning Park is our destination this evening. Its not too far out of town, but it will get used to driving our 50+ feet of truck and trailer. Hopefully the spot we've reserved is big enough for us.

We will try and get some pictures up in the next few days and we will try and post as often as possible. Feel free to keep in touch through the blog, we'd love to hear snippits from home too as we'll be missing you all very much.
