Our plans, decisions, and adventures
Pennsylvania We crossed through Pennsylvania on our way north to Corning, New York (see New Jersey and New York), and then returned south to Pennsylvania to continue our journey west. Finally, we were immersed in autumn colours. Susquehanna River: Wyalusing Rocks Overlook We stayed one night at Ives Run campground in the Tioga-Hammond Lakes Recreation Area.... Continue Reading →
We didn't want to leave Vermont since the forests had not yet reached their autumn colour peak, but we had booked a housesit in New Jersey, so leave we did. Once we got adjusted to leaving, we started looking forward to what was next. Our New Jersey housesit homeowner had suggested stopping at Storm King... Continue Reading →
Cathedral Ledge After exploring the coast of Maine, it was time to turn inland to visit the forests and mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont. We drove across Maine into the White Mountains and the Cathedral Ledge State Park in New Hampshire. Cathedral Ledge Scenic Lookout offered gorgeous views of the valley, lakes, and across...

We spent about a week on Maine's beautiful coast and Acadia National Park and could have easily spent a lot more. There are so many nooks and crannies to poke about in, rocky shores to hike, places to explore by bicycle and beaches to hang out at. Ogunquit and Wells While camping in Wells for...

Cape Cod Both of us have spent most of our lives on the West Coast of Canada and our only reference points for Cape Cod were as a frequent setting in books. I think that I had envisioned an idyllic and quaint village and was surprised to discover that Cape Cod is so much more... Continue Reading →
After an introduction to our Road Trip 2022 that said we would be driving from Vancouver across Canada, it doesn't seem right that the first location-specific post starts at about the 3,000-kilometre mark. For us, everything before then was quick family visits (Vancouver), business/medical appointments (Calgary) or ground that we'd covered before and we were... Continue Reading →
We're back on a road adventure, this time with our sights set on the New England region of the USA for the fall colours. It's an area that we've never been to and a trip that we didn't want to do without a lot of available time given the thousands (and more thousands) of kilometres... Continue Reading →
Our last post covered four weeks of Den Haag explorations and this one tackles several day trips we took while staying there to places outside the city's boundaries. Delft Our first trip to Delft was on what turned out to be a windy, rainy market day. We arrived just in time to have a coffee... Continue Reading →
We started our 2022 European travels in The Hague where our son and his family had moved to earlier in the year. We spent about four weeks at the end of our three-month trip back in The Hague, sometimes with family, sometimes on our own while family went on their own holiday, and sometimes with...

We spent a week in Amsterdam house- and pet-sitting. Generally, when we take care of dogs, our time to tour an area is limited. But our little charge at this sit was much happier being at home and even preferred to skip walks except when taking care of business. Her owners referred to her as... Continue Reading →
We were booked for a one-week house sit in Amsterdam (covered in the next post) but thought we'd like a little more time in that city. We either left it too long or Amsterdam is crazy expensive (or both) because any AirBnBs or hotel rooms there for a late-June week were prohibitively expensive. Since part... Continue Reading →
Just left: Cross-Canada and USA road trip
