Then What?

We have been home for a week now.  We are homeless for the time being until we can move back into our house on June 1st.  We have re-insured our vehicles that were parked while we were gone, cleaned up the boat, re-actived our cell phone with our Canadian number, arranged for the internet, cable and phone to be re-connected.  We have seen most of our friends and family, had a couple dinners out etc...  Where are we going next?  Where is the next destination that I can plug into our Nuvi GPS of look up in our road atlas......we will get to move into our house in 3 weeks, that will be entertaining for the 1st month...Then What?  

Michael and I are flying to Prince Edward Island tomorrow to see Jennifer, it has been 10 months since Mike has seen his big sister!  We will spend the week with her in PEI then Mike and I are flying to Vancouver Island to see everyone else!  Once I get back from there it will only be 10 days until we move back into our house...Then What?

Then What? = getting back to a normal life,  getting Michael back to school in the fall, getting him back into his Ju-jitsu, skiing etc.
Then What? = Kelly going back to work in August and finally having a pay cheque again, re-joining the photography club and ladies golf club.
Then What? = Terry going fishing to his favorite river, getting the boat in the water, going golfing, learning how to be patient and sit still..

Then What? = realizing that what we did for the past 333 days was an unbelievable, extraordinary thing that most people will never experience, that we were lucky enough to be able to pull it off without too many hardships, and the hope that maybe, just maybe we will be able to do it again one day...maybe 10 or 20 years down the road...but maybe it will just happen again...then what?

we are home!!

After 333 days on the road, 9 provinces, 22 states, 30,000 KM's...we are home!!

We managed to live fairly peacefully in our 189 sq ft motorhome for 11 months which is a huge accomplishment in my opinion!  Life will slowly start to go back to normal...we move back into our house on June 1st and will be able to spread out a bit...moving into 3400 sq ft for just the 3 of us seems a little extravagant but hey, we will all get our own bathroom and play rooms!

We are staying in mom and Ken's driveway for the month of May, Michael is slowly migrating into the house to sleep at night etc, but Terry and I are determined to get our full year in in RV!

I will still be updating the blog on a regular basis with some stats and facts from the trip...stay tuned and thanks for watching!
