The final chapter!

First of all WOW!! let us catch our breath.
We truly had a great trip and saw a lot of country that we had never seen before and the chances are we never will see some of that area again. For Irene and I our traveling in Florida was by far the most memorable as the scenery was awesome and the variety of things to see and do were spectacular. It may have seemed as though we were eating out a lot but it was so great to be able to go to the local cafe's and eat the local food, that's what made it so interesting. The stay in Yuma for 3 weeks was good as we had a chance to meet up with old friends and socialize with them. Once we left Yuma and the motor home was pointing north reality set in to the fact that the trip was winding down and we would soon be back home.
Crossing the border
To our surprise the crossing into Canada was as quick as it had been 3 months before going south. There was one vehicle in the line ahead of us and we were through in about 5 minutes. The agent asked us how long we had been gone for and whether we had made any purchases and when we replied yes he said "welcome home, have a nice day". How sweet could that be.
A huge thank you to everyone who followed along with our travels. It was a lot of fun doing the blog especially when we knew that you were following us on a daily routine. In the beginning we never thought about how popular the blog would become.
