My journey begins tomorrow!
Tomorrow when I get off work I will start on my journey to pick up my 5.0 TA. The truck is loaded, just have to throw in the stuff that I will need to use before tossing it in, in the morning.
Then I will hook up my (not mine anymore, I sold it 5 weeks ago) Casita and take it to Tracy, CA and give it to it's new owner.
I am so excited!
I am getting my new hitch installed on my truck Monday morning, the 21, orientation on the 22nd then off to Sumas, then a couple stops for supplies and food then to Lynden koa for a couple nights before I start on my way home.
Please wish for good weather, and a safe trip. I know there are a few of us headed up about the same time.
I have a total of 9 days off. I am really looking forward to my new trailer!
I will post pictures when I can.

Hi: Sandyb12... Make sure you stop and pickup a large double/double at Tim's; that is if you like cream and sugar in your coffee. You will have enough money left and enough caffeine to pay attention during orientation. Congrats on the new trailer and make sure you slow down on the learning curve!!! Alf

Good Luck and Safe Travels, Sandyb12! We are all lining up. Our orientation is 4/13, followed by a couple of days in Lyndon. Looks like a proper plan for all. We're gonna be bottlenecked at the Oregon border.

After visiting Escape a couple weeks back, and seeing all the Timmies cups there, methinks they should just open their own store inside. Though having one a block away is pretty handy. I do have to wonder how much the employees there have spent on Tim Horton coffee though.

Anyone happen to know a coffee shop in Vancouver that serves that hot thick almost syrup chocolate? There was a place there that had a sister store in London england, but I can't remember the business name. Thanks in advance. Congrats on your escape!

Sweet Lollapalooza does in Edmonton (and apparently Calgary), but doesn't seem to have a Vancouver location. That doesn't help much, but maybe it will trigger someone else's memory.

Hi Sandyb12,
I can only imagine how fast your heart will be beating when u drive up to ETI!
Hoping you get great travel weather and safe driving!
I know you only have 9 days however have you considered taking the ferry over to Victoria on the way back? From here you can take the Port Angeles ferry heading South?

See you there!
We left Southern California yesterday afternoon! Our orientation is the 22nd at 8am. We figured we should take advantage of the good weather and start our trip north. Very exciting! Have a safe trip!
