INDEX from OUR Travels - APRIL 2017 to DECEMBER 2019

The blog index to the right of the posts is by year and month, but that doesn't help if someone just wants to look at a particular country.  Go here first to find the country, year and month and then go to the blog index to the appropriate year and month.  Kudos to Flipflops and Backpacks for this great idea.

NOTE: we know our plans now until the end of the year, so have added those future places to this index.

As newbie travellers, our first journeys outside of North America were in 2016 a few days after Linda’s retirement on February 28: 9 weeks in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam & Laos. 

One month after our return we took four months in our fifth wheel to go across Canada, then in October carried on down the east coast of the USA for a bit before heading southwest to finally winter with some RV friends we had made on the road and were joined for a while by Nancy & Pete and Pat & Les, returning to Canada end of March 2017.    

We weren’t blogging during the trips above.

In June of 2017 we embarked on a five month journey to Europe.  A highlight was Mark and Carol joining us in Italy for a month and for the bike and barge trip.

During our short returns to BC we sold off everything we owned leading to our move to Mexico in November 2017, enjoying a visit from Anne and Jeff..
