Today we will leave Sunshine Valley and return home.
We left home 55 days ago and it has been a long and interesting time away in the RV. We have never been away for this long so it was quite the test for us. We both found the trip worth the time and money but definitely found things we liked and things we didn't like.
Travelling almost every day during the convoy was tiring and we prefer to set up for more than just one night at a time. This allows for a little sight seeing, shopping, laundry and not feel that we are constantly on the go.
We also don't like having a set time that we have to 'hit the road' each day. As we usually wake up early anyway, we like to have a relaxing breakfast and then get ready to go without being rushed. We generally hit the road between 8 and 9 am.
Being with a group, we usually tried to stop for a short break after about 90 minutes of driving. This allowed for a stretch, snack and a potty break. We found that was a great thing to energise us and we continued to do this on our way home after leaving Dawson Creek.
Booking campgrounds in advance is quite restrictive. While travelling with the convoy it was fine because everyone stayed at the same place. While travelling on our own we decided that sometimes we would want to travel farther than originally planned so not having a reservation while on the road is better for us. We definitely will continue to make reservations for our final destination to guarantee our space.
One thing we both strongly agree on - We Don't Like Dirt Roads !!!
