Writing after nearly a year of silence. Do I have any fans yet, or just spammers who ... http://jacquileclerc.com/2010/02/28/not-feeling-fiji-bitter-any-more/ Well, we have been on our way home now for at least a month. We made the mistake of stopping by Phoenix, AZ, for "a few days" to visit some relatives.  The weather was so lovely there and it was such a gorgeous city (we were actually in a subburb, ... http://jacquileclerc.com/2009/03/23/homeward-bound/ Just found out that we have been victims of some unauthorized activity on our credit cards, and want to get the word out about this company. It's called "Easysaver". Not sure yet how they managed to get our information, but we are working to resolve it. I just noticed today, ... http://jacquileclerc.com/2009/02/10/scam-slam/ *sigh* Note to self (and others who may try the RV lifestyle): Carefully and slowly open each cupboard, drawer and cabinet after a strenuous day of bouncing down the road. (Freezer included--being crowed with ice cubes sounds more fun than it actually is). Watch out for attacking mops as they leap out ... http://jacquileclerc.com/2009/02/10/ahh-the-rigors-of-life-on-the-road/ http://www.themagicjack.ca/idevaffiliate/a/612.php Hi all.

You will need to have some kind of high speed internet ... http://jacquileclerc.com/2009/02/06/money-saver-cool-phone-deal/ Our never ending quest to find warmer weather continues, and has brought us to Louisianna, where so far it has been sunny, warm(ish) and green leaves on the trees. Yesterday we got the privilage to drive through Houston, TX.  At rush hour. In a 38 foot motor home. With a defective ... http://jacquileclerc.com/2009/02/05/where-shall-we-go-what-shall-we-do/ Logging in from an RV park in Texas, where we are jammed into a stall next to a fleet of other RV's.  The seniors were really getting out of hand last night, rockin' it out to some hard core yodeling music.  It was a little scary. We are laying pretty low ... http://jacquileclerc.com/2008/12/05/hangin-with-the-blue-hairs/ Things we have learned we shouldn't do when driving at 38 foot long, 12 foot high motor home... Listening to our GPS unit when trying to shave off a few miles--just stick to the Interstates and it'll all be good. Do not, for any reason, attempt to take a path that ... http://jacquileclerc.com/2008/11/27/gulf-stream-on-a-goat-trail-at-9900-feet/ And so begins our journey, deep into the United States. We left Alberta behind two days ago, loaded up the old diesel pusher and fought our way through scattered snow storms, ferocious head winds and mini-vans. We got on the tail end of the old-timers brigade, frantically driving south. Every motor home we see ... http://jacquileclerc.com/2008/11/23/life-on-the-road/ Ahh, the snow is gently falling. Big fluffy flakes. The temperature is in the minus regions.  The roads are promising to be interesting, come morning. Oh, the joys of living in Alberta.
