The Southwest Part One

October 1, 2012 - January 1, 2013

Left Boulder October 1st and headed south!  Enjoyed the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque.  Then set up for a long stay at Mesa Regal with a few side trips. We left Mesa Regal headed for San Diego to board Holland America’s Statendam for a cruise to Hawaii and the South Pacific.

East Coast 2012

January 27th - April 1, 2012

This leg of our journey down the coast was preceded by a Southern Caribbean cruise.  On this part of the trip we participated in three RV rallies (FMCA, Escapees, and Airstream) and then took a southern route back to Boulder.  During the seven months since we left Boulder last July, we traveled a grand total of 21,000 miles:  9,800 in Ratherby (towing the car); 5,200 miles in the car without Ratherby; and 6,000 miles on our Southern Caribbean cruise!
