Six months from today, we will pull out for points South, warmer climates! Canadians are only allowed to be out of the country for six months or we lose Medicare coverage. We will be booking on the CAT (ferry) from Bar Harbour , Maine to Yarmouth ,Nova Scotia the first week of June 2010, for our return. We are filling out passport applications , looking into prices for storing our furniture and thinking every day about the trip, we will leave when it is beginning to snow, but the purpose is to avoid the cold weather for six months, it's 2000 miles from Halifax to Florida and we will be doing it as fast as possible, but not on Interstates, they are too hard on the nerves. As before ,we will stop supper hours in American Legions or VFW clubs to have a wet and meet people. In the meantime we will enjoy six months of sunshine here in Canada's Ocean Playground. Even in Nova Scotia, I can remember many late November days lying in the afternoon sun ,falling asleep, while hunting, and some years you can still golf right up to December.
We have our first follower, Lucy from Leesville, Louisiana , we met Lucy in the Legion the day we left Texas, last April. We weren't in the Legion half an hour, when her husband Andy was out under my truck checking the starter and offering to repair it the next day, Jim was driving me around looking for a nearby campsite while Trish collected breakfast and cheap drinks. Lucy gave her eggs, which she had got from Paul, the Post Commander, then Don contributed sausage he had just made. Drinks were fifty cents off for happy hour and another fifty cents off if a train went by while you were ordering.
