October 22, 2009

We're finally on the road! Over the last two weeks we've been quite busy doing all the things you have to do when preparing for a long trip. We make lists to help remind us what needs doing and then checking off once an item is complete. It seems like every time we completed a list a new one was started. Overall though, everything went pretty well and we were able to get on the road at 10:00 this morning.

It was drizzly for part of the trip but started drying out when we hit the 401. Our first day was short, just a 2 1/2 hour trip to Kingston for a two-day stay at Rideau Acres. We'll probably head to London, Ontario on Saturday and overnight at the Flying J before crossing the border at Sarnia on Sunday morning.

It's nice to finally have 50 amp service at a campground. Our campground near Rockland only has 30 amps for seasonals. It's not a big deal but now we can run the heater, microwave, hot water and vacuum cleaner at the same time:-)

It is a little warmer in Kingston, about 13 degrees celcius. I'm hoping for better than that though over the next two weeks!!
