Two Years and Twenty-Seven Days

The Life and Times of Sit started on March 6^th, 2013 when we left our home at 12:00 PM. I hadn’t started the travel blog, nor had I come up with the title, but I did start keeping track of our travel statistics.

When we left home we had 25,978 miles on “Big Red” and had owned our fifth-wheel trailer for just about 13 months. We were pretty good in condensing our clothes and items we wanted to have with us as we left our 2300 square foot home for our new home on wheels. We also made sure we had all of Izzy’s toys and bed.

 

As we began our journey we did head to southern California which was the furthest southwestern point. I decided to do this final post from the four corners of our adventure rather than trying to capture all that we saw, did, and enjoyed in one posting.

Joshua Tree National Park was a first for Izzy and me. Steve had been there when he was young but didn’t quite remember all of it.

 

 

 

 

The most northwestern point on our journey was Port Hardy British Columbia which is on Vancouver Island. We enjoyed the beauty, people, climate, fishing, and golfing while we were there as well as our time in the other parts of BC.

 

 

The most northeastern point happened to be in Canada as well and was Cape Breton Nova Scotia. The coastline there is quite different than the coast line in BC. The beauty was spectacular although the fishing wasn’t quite as plentiful. We certainly can’t complain about the crab feed we had as we ate them fresh off the boat. Well we ate them on a boat too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The furthest southeastern point on our trip was Key West, although we only visited it a couple of days. Our primary spot for the Florida Keys was Marathon Florida. There we enjoyed meeting some great people, playing golf, fishing, and having fun with Izzy! We also celebrated Christmas 2014 there with 75 degree weather. Pretty much sums up our entire trip well not really, but one of the goals was to avoid cold weather and really hot weather. Not a bad goal to have if you can.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

Our life for two years and twenty-seven days allowed us to travel 49,110 miles, stay in 122 towns/cities (some twice), see 34 states, spend a week on a houseboat, and visit four Canadian Provinces. To put the distance in perspective we could have traveled around the world twice. Maybe we will do that next!

 

We truly enjoyed our time on the road and many people have asked us, what was your favorite place, which is a challenge for us to answer. Canada and the United States have so many wonderful places to see as well as a tremendous amount of history to learn. Our best advice is if you have the desire to travel around and see the country just go for it!
