You know I was thinking about the bathroom breaks, and wondered how you planned to tackle that one. That’s a couple of lo posts all by themselves. I still think the whole boat thing is super exciting. I am so happy for you Pamela.

In reply to Pamela. We had our camper at a very rustic campground with swimming holes in the river, a pond, and hiking trails right there. We were also close to the White Mts. When our dog Maggie passed, camping wasn't quite the same without her, plus we were neglecting our first home too much....so we sold the camper and got three more dogs instead. :)

Well I hate driving. But I’ve wanted to cross Canada as well. Preferably on one of those beautiful trains with class ceilings.

We’ll make a sailing date once we find our boat. 🙂

I love driving. My dream is to drive across Canada and the U.S. to every state and province. I don’t think I handle the advance planning necessary for living on a boat. I’d be sure to forget something critical– like toilet paper or feminine hygiene products– and not realize until it’s too late to go back. Then I’d be VERY grumpy for a while. 🙂

But I would love to come sailing with someone else for a day or two. I might even drive some distance to meet up with friends for the chance to get out on the water. 🙂

In reply to Pamela. Funny you should mention that. I read the book when it first came out, and it was the reason I got started hiking with the dogs. It was also when I started trying to plan the trip. I loved the area and the mountains and hope to do a return trip soon.

Welcome, Rebecca. I’m so glad you happened by.

Lizzie and McGee sound like they’re great hiking companions. Since you hiked the White Mountains, have you read Tom Ryan’s Following Atticus? It’s a wonderful read and you might enjoy reading about places you’ve hiked: https://www.somethingwagging.com/following-atticus-book-review/

Sailing is more outside my experiences than driving even a big a$$ RV but I don’t know if it’s harder or not.

For example, you’ll never get your RV under a low bridge by doing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CInYj5P4evA 🙂

In reply to Sam. Thanks! Glad you'll be traveling with us virtually. If I had your photoshop skills I could just shop ourselves on the boat and save some money. :)

In reply to Maureen Ferrara.

Thanks, Maureen, for your advice on training your pup to use a potty patch. I’m hoping that once we get some of Honey’s scent on the patch that she’ll adapt. But it sounds like even with your careful work, it took some patience for your dog to get the idea.

I’ll keep that in mind.
