Starting in the far east of Canada in the province of Newfoundland, we will work our way back across to the west over a period of one or two years. During this time our only refuge will be a camper loaded on the back of a pick up truck. Has the makings of a reality TV show don't you think? Our camper has the usual comforts such as a bathroom, dinette, kitchen, and comfy sleeping quarters.
At the end of Honeymoon Canada, there will be a book produced featuring the hidden secrets that we discovered during our travels together.
We will be keeping a travel journal in the form of this blog as a means to let our family, friends, and fans know what we've done and where we are. It will also act as a reminder for us of the adventures we have had and will have, in the years to come.
