GETTING READY FOR CANADA.
Day 231 – We spent today preparing for 4 months in Canada. Checked our reservations, got the paperwork for both us and the cats together, put our U.S. maps/info away and brought out the Canadian maps/info, baked a loaf of bread and also prepared a loaf for garlic bread and put it in the freezer, Rob prepared the vehicles, oiled the bikes & replaced his tires, got some things ready to mail from the U.S. tomorrow morning, Rob rebalanced some of the heavier items we have stored (kitty litter/cases of cat food), paid a few bills, and basically cleared the decks for the next adventures.
The weather also played a factor in us sticking around the RV. It was a good thing, since we didn’t realize how much we needed to do. But it was overcast and not a good picture day. We’ve covered the area enough. Time to move on.
The ferry ride tomorrow from Port Angeles to Victoria (Washington state to Vancouver Island) will only be about an hour and a half, but we have to be in line about an hour and a half in advance. The girls won’t be happy, but it’s not like they’ve never had a ferry ride before! A long one at that (Nova Scotia to Newfoundland). If we can believe the weather forecast (which would be foolish, we’ve found!), it will be not too windy with lots of clouds and a little bit of sun. We are excited; it’s hard to believe we’ll be in British Columbia Canada tomorrow night. We foresee lots of wildlife in our future – maybe we’ll see Eagles and Whales from the ferry!
