1st of May

Hooray, Hooray, it's the second of May, in Nova Scotia, outdoor screwing started yesterday!
We were too busy to Blog yesterday, and we didn't have the laptop with us!!
It's also a national election today, whatever the results, we all get screwed ,it's the Cdn way!!
Seven months and we pull out for points South, ie: Florida, Texas and especially Louisiana!!
Hope that Canadian dollar stays up there, right now it's worth $1.05 American. Only costs us
95 cents to buy an American buck. Two years ago, every dollar cost us $1.30, that hurt!

Sitting out on the deck today with a glass of wine, remembering where we were last St. Patrick's Day, walking around Beacon Hill park in Victoria BC with Trish recalling her childhood days in the park!, We then travelled to Comox for two weeks. Even though it's only 40 farhenheit, sitting in the direct Sun with no wind is like heaven, it's been a hard winter. Watching our neighbour collect his maple syrup sap, it takes forty gallons of sap  to make one gallon of syrup.. We talk of nothing but pulling out of here next November prior to the snow falling. Just about 8 months!  

10 month plan

The ten month plan is now down to 9 months and counting, we conceived the idea last month to move into a trailer and spend six months South and six months back here in Nova Scotia.  We will go to a RV show again this month, but we pretty well have our minds made up, as to which trailer, we  will spend the rest of our lives in!!!  Yes, No more apartments, "Trailer Life", for the rest of our days, seeking the Sun at all times, this winter has been different because we spent last winter down South, we are not the first people to do this , but we plan to have fun doing it, we hope our friends and family will follow us on Home Sweet Highway.  You will notice I always say South with a capital "S", that's because sunshine deserves a capital letter.

I read something last week where the person used the term "Sunworshippers" as something derogatory, please tell me, what is wrong with worshipping the Sun!!! 

The Hawk has always been our Guardian in all our trips. Even when we do not see a Hawk all I have to do is look at the gorgeous gold Hawk earrings that I received on my last birthday from Lucy & Andy ( they are our Guardian Angels in Leesville, LA ) . As the months and seasons go by in our 10 Month Plan the pictures of the Hawks will change, but our friendship with the Laverty's will last forever !

THE TEN MONTH PLAN!

Here we go again, we are reviving Home Sweet Highway, if you are interested you can follow us on our ten month plan to pull out for the Southern states and sunshine on December 1st, 2011.  The plan is to buy a travel trailer and live in it continously, yes, we are giving up our apartment totally, getting rid of more stuff and living year round in the trailer, we thought of this when we were on the road to California last year, now we have made up our minds, just as we had the six month plan in 2009 to travel from Nova Scotia to British Columbia via Florida and California, the ten month plan WILL come to fruition.  We don't have the trailer yet, but we went to a R.V. show recently and have made up our minds which one it will be. We welcome your comments! 

We don't think we will be hitting the highway this Spring ,unless we win the Lotto. I was just thinking though, that Trish e-mails me money from her account at least once a month to pay the bills. If any of you out there want to contribute to the poor Paul & tearful Trish travel fund ,it's so easy!  If you do your banking on line, , here are the easy to follow instructions, go to your account, hit e-mail transfers,enter my name, enter my e-mail address twice, select English, put in the amount, select the account, then e-mail me the code!  Please, please remember, you are not allowed to send more then $1000. per day.

Haven't written anything on homesweet highway for a while, mainly because we are not on the highway, we are settled into Shoreham Village in Chester, our Nova Scotia home, here are some other blogs by Paul if you enjoy the humour or anecdotes www.amotleyexistence.blogspot.com
