Effortless

We are in the USA! Obama Country!

We pulled into the ferry dock in downtown Victoria just as Brooks, Linda lee and her mom and dad showed up. We went for a drink until our reservations for dinner came up. It was a great evening with lots of catching up with the newly weds. Linda's mom and dad are just back from a trip to England which they enjoyed. After dinner we walked back to the motorhome for a nightcap and then to bed.

We boarded the ferry at about 10:00 and got to Port Angeles at about noon. The food service is really lousy on this ferry, nothing like the BC Ferries. Norma had a reheated "Breakfast Bun" and I a bowl of clam chowder. With two coffees the bill was $14.00.

We are now in the Centralia, WA Walmart where we did a little shopping. I then went over to Radio Shack in the adjoining mall where the very nice young woman got my Virgin Broadband working for me. Usually they just sell you the air time and you have to take the time to enter codes to get it onto your account. She did everything for me and by the time I walked back to the rig, I had Internet from my Cradlepoint WIFI adapter.

Tomorrow will be an easy day to Portland, OR where we will make a stop at Camping World and the tire shop where we get free service for the life of the tires we bought there two years ago. We just need a visual inspection and the pressure adjusted after being parked all summer.

Life Is Good!

  1. Yes life is good for you. Glad you had a good crossing except for the food! Snowing here in Kelowna, you got out in the nick of time.

  2. Sounds like you are off to a good start. Hard to find that kind of customer service these days. Keep us posted on your trip. Hi Norma!

  4. Just my opinion, but it's probably wiser to check your tire pressure before driving off after the motorhome has been parked all summer!

    1. LOL! I do give it the "Whack with a hammer" test before we go. Getting them checked by a pro makes Norma feel better.

  6. Do you, or any one you know, have any need for a Banda Ancha cellular modem that was only used for a month last February in Mexico? It came with two cards (access codes?), one of which was never used.
