Our travelling escapades overseas and in Australia
Today we say farewell to Cape Ann and make our way to our next stop, Cape Cod. This is a trip of about 110 miles, so not a big travel day as Rob is still quite unwell. He’s pretty sick which worries Peter and I quite a lot. As Meagan doesn’t drive the RV, we’ve …

Today (18 Oct.) our goal is to explore Boston. We awoke to still being without power, it’s estimated we will get power back tomorrow night (which is after we leave Cape Ann). I’ve been to Boston before (25 years ago) and am keen to see what I remember. We’ve all agreed that taking the local …

“I must go down to the sea again; The lonely sea and the sky; And all I ask is a tall ship; And a star to steer her by.” That’s the first stanza of Sea Fever by John Masefield. I studied that poem when I was 12 and that first verse has always stuck with …
Whilst chatting with Diann and John last night, they had mentioned that the traffic was horrendous in and out of Salem. With that in mind, we headed off fairly early to get there as smoothly as we could. There was a fair amount of traffic, however we managed to get to Salem without too much …

We woke up this morning to a glorious view of the marshlands from our campsite. Peter had been amazing and had booked a rental car AND they were going to pick him up from our campsite to get it. Crazy awesome service!!! Meagan and I were very keen to find somewhere to get our nails …
Continuing our journey north, our scheduled destination today is Cape Ann Campground in Gloucester. This is north of Salem, which is where we wanted to stay, however this is the closest campground. The scenery continues to delight me with its colours so here’s some more Fall spam photos. As the trip is less than 70 …
It’s my turn to drive today and the first item on our itinerary is another visit to the Farmer’s Stand – Blossoming Acres. Meagan is very keen to take Rob there and to pick up some scrummy baked goods for breakfast. We wandered through the aisles of locally made gorgeous goodies and also decided to …
The goal today is to get to Southwick, where we are booked into the Southwick Acres RV Park. Last night Rob had mentioned that he was not feeling all that flash, and this morning he is quite unwell. Remember Patient Zero – the bus driver in DC with the dreadful cold? Well he’s lived up …
Our destination for this evening is Brookside RV Park in the Catskills. It is not as far as yesterday’s journey (only 100 miles or so) but we are detouring into Vernon County to re-connect with the Appalachian Trail and walk the Pochuck Boardwalk. Situated in New Jersey, this is one of the more famous stretches …

Today we have a fairly large travel day planned as we are headed to Sussex which is over 265 miles from DC. Given this, we got organised fairly early and left in a vain attempt to avoid peak hour traffic. However it appears that peak hour traffic lasts all day in DC and so we …
