Travel Blog

Sue:

We are bad bloggers. We know. Phil's dad reminded us too. He said he hadn't checked our site for weeks because we never write anything new. Boy, it's a good thing Phil cut his hand so we had something to write about.

But there's still not much to tell, except that Phil did get some new sections online last night. They're about our animals, and they can be found under the "RVing with Pets" tab. It's like our old site where we sent you to Dogster and Catster, only now we have a page for our pets that we do ourselves.

Today was the first day in about a week and a half that was rain-free. It's not supposed to last long, though, so we're not going to get used to it. We just have to dry a few things out so we can pack them up and get ready to float out of here in 29 days.

I don't know if I've kept you all apprised of our exit strategy yet, but we're taking the ferry from Skagway to Bellingham, WA. The trip takes about four days, and we'll get to see all the towns in Alaska that our customers have been telling us about. I'm excited to get a glimpse of Sitka and Ketchikan. I'm not sure how long we'll be in port, but we'll get some pictures at least, even if we have to take them from the ferry railing.

From Washington, we're motoring back to Coffeyville, KS, to work at Amazon.com again. We won't be lonely this year. About 15 people we've worked with in Skagway in the past will be there this year. I guess that doesn't guarantee we'll see them (it's a big warehouse), but it will be nice to get together with them when we all have time off.

After Christmas, we're really not sure what's going to happen, but we want to try for a campground job that runs from January through April, and then we hope to spend the summer working near Mount Rushmore. It's time to get our driver's licenses renewed in South Dakota, so we figured we'd just try to get a job there.

So we're sorry we've bored our faithful readers for the past two years doing repeat stuff. Stick with us and we promise new and exciting places to blog about (maybe not so exciting as the sugar beet harvest, but we'll do our best).
