Map of our travels in 2008


(Just a note: the link undergoes frequent modifications so it
might not always work. Try Yellowstone's main page to find it if you can't link
here. It's an amazing "window" for those of us who love Yellowstone...or
those who would like to visit in an armchair!)
They
usually have it focused on Old Faithful, but as various geysers erupt, or
animals are around, they'll zoom it so that you can see whatever is interesting
at that moment. Enjoy!

CHANGES COMING!!!
It's been seven years since we set out
on our adventure that both of us thought might last two years (our kids gave us
six months!) We've lived longer in this "home" than we have in any other home
with the exception of one that we lived in for 12 years. Our experiences
have been phenomenal. However, we found a house that was perfect for us to "age
in" gracefully, so we took the opportunity to purchase it. We don't intend to
end our travels, but they will probably be limited to six months of the year
(Spring to Fall) which are the best months for traveling anyway. We'll keep up
the website and keep the photos and information coming, but it may be less
frequent for the months we are in our "stick house." At this point we are
uncertain as to how this really will affect us, so stay tuned and we'll
let you know what we're up to.

UPDATE as of June 18, 2008
We're officially homeowners again! The house is done, but we
won't move in (no "stuff" yet!) until late July probably. In the meantime we're
offloading things like our winter clothes from the rig (amazing how much weight
goes out the door with those!) and a few odds and ends that we don't need in the
rig. Most of our "stuff" we'll keep on board and end up duplicating (can we say
Garage Sales?) for the house.

View from the Holland America Veendam leaving Vancouver, BC
In the meantime, we took the easy way to see Alaska again...by
cruise ship! We had two weeks on two Holland America ships (the Veendam and
Volendam)...one going from Vancouver to Seward, where we spent two nights on our
own, and then returned (different itinerary) to Vancouver on the other ship. The
Volendam remains our favorite. I'll post the link to our photos from that
trip
dotPhoto Show - Alaska Cruise 2008
so you can see what wonderful weather and scenery we were treated to. (If you
click on the "Full Screen Mode" you'll get to see nice size photos without using
a large bandwidth...I made them pretty small files.)
