A Few Stats from our #2018RoadTrip

Posted on November 8, 2018by Peter Kraiker

I have previously mentioned that this was the longest trip Andrea and I have done. I don’t have stats from the previous longest trip (in New Zealand) handy but I do have some from a 2016 trip to Colorado and back. That was 4,149 miles of driving and was 19 nights / 20 days long. […]

Sun and Snow Define Our Southwest Leg

Posted on November 4, 2018November 4, 2018by Peter Kraiker

This has been a challenging update to add! And there are sooo many more queued up behind it. I started this in September and it’s now November! Sigh. The High Sierras Before I leave our time in Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks behind, I should mention that having gone through the rain forests of Olympic […]

As We Start Month Two

Posted on September 30, 2018September 30, 2018by Peter Kraiker

[Warnings: a) long, and long overdue, post; b) it’s late, I’m tired there will be mistakes I’ll fix 🙂 ] Hard to believe that we’ve been on the road for over a month now… this is officially the longest trip Andrea and I have done. The previous one (search New Zealand in this blog for […]

Road Trips Involve Detours

Posted on September 23, 2018September 27, 2018by Peter Kraiker

[Sept. 26 update] How could I overlook the first theme that set the trip into a proper Westy perspective! It’s included below. — There are always unexpected moments in any trip. I think back to our Sark adventure from 2017 and how many unexpected detours happened. Some minor, at least one major (and expensive… losing […]

A Tale of Two Cities (Part 2)

Posted on September 20, 2018September 20, 2018by Peter Kraiker

I broke this tale of two cities apart because I could tell it would be long. This 2nd half is long despite that… consider yourself forewarned. It’s also been delayed as we’ve enjoyed some amazing places that were off the grid. Some times that’s just the right thing to do. So here’s part two with […]

A Tale of Two Cities (Part 1)

Posted on September 13, 2018September 13, 2018by Peter Kraiker

Now that I have the new hat story out I can return to our trip and some of the delights we’ve enjoyed over the past week. Most of it has been spent in two cities: north Seattle and Saanich north of Victoria. We thought about it and realized that after almost two weeks of only […]

Hello Seattle

Posted on September 9, 2018September 9, 2018by Peter Kraiker

We have put pins in our travel map for a number of reasons. Visiting people we don’t get to see nearly often enough is one of those reasons. So here we are saying “hello” from Seattle. This is the second time Andrea and I have come to this lovely city. Both times it’s been to […]

Starting Week Two

Posted on September 5, 2018September 5, 2018by Peter Kraiker

Week one is behind us; week two has begun. In the first week we covered one province and eight states (today finds us in the ninth — Idaho — where we’re having lunch in Calypsos Coffee and Creamery in Coeur d’Alene). I haven’t calculated the exact distance but estimate it’s around 2,500 miles since we […]

Well, It’s an Adventure

Posted on September 3, 2018September 3, 2018by Peter Kraiker

As we expected this trip has already turned into an adventure. Today is our 6th day on the road. Closing in on the end of week 1 of 10. It’s been tough to find time to write about the adventure as we’ve been living it. So this will likely be a terse tale. It’s almost […]

Dream Big, Then Go Home?

Posted on August 18, 2018August 19, 2018by Peter Kraiker

This dream has been in the works for about a year. It almost went off the rails and didn’t. It’s something we’ve never done before and hey… who knows how it will go! It’s happening though. Andrea and I are set to go on an extended road trip. Look out world! Well… look out U.S.A. […]
