We Are In A Foreign Country!

Well, the USA. Not that foreign. We are in our favorite first night's parking spot, the Walmart at Chehalis Washington. There is a Radio Shack here and that is where I topped up my Virgin Broadband. I am "Grandfathered" in the $40 per month unlimited data plan which it let me renew once again.

The wedding was a blast. Jason held it together, Siri did all the stuff that made everything happen on schedule even through the drama of fighting and crying bridesmaids. Jason's dad (an old friend) did a suburb job of supplying the booze, including a "special" bottle of 40 year old single malt that was reputed to cost a good portion of my monthly pension cheque. He poured "wee drams" of it until the bottle was empty and I am proud to say I got my share.

We parked the motorhome across the street from the venue so 1) we did not have to sponsor any after parties at home and 2) so we could make a quick get-a-way in the morning. Both plans worked! It was freezing cold in the RV that night but either by good luck or good planing, we both had enough anti-freeze in our blood to survive.

Last night was spent in the parking lot at the Black Ball Ferry in downtown Victoria. It was quite a bit warmer there and we made a very early night of it. I was asleep shortly after dinner. We awoke in plenty of time to buy our tickets and clear Passport Control before boarding at 10:00 AM. On the Washington side, we simply showed our passports again. told him our destination and we were on our way. No muss, no fuss.

On the way down the Olympic Peninsula we stopped at Hama Hama Seafoods and stocked up on some goodies, filled the gas in the motorhome and car with some much cheaper ($3.21/gal) gas and some equally cheap propane ($1.99/gal).

We parked at about 4:30, I bought my Virgin Broadband and Norma walked over to Walmart to grab some things. It will be another very early night.
