I think you're awesome. Thanks for going along for the ride! (Or taking me for a ride?!). In any case, I love that we are going for a nice long drive together...

You wild and crraazzzy guys! I'm totally thrilled by what I've read so-far! Can't wait to read more! So, does it feel cool to have all that weight and power at your fingertips or what?
So, are you going to visit Cape May? Washington D.C, Savanna? Miami? Are you going to New Orleans, Dallas, And San Diego? What about Las Vegas Hover Dam and the Grand Canyon, besides Flagstaff and Denver? Mount Shasta?Sedona? Are you going to fit in Yellowstone National Park? How about the Grand Coolee Dam (Spelling?) Hope you get to Long Beach on the far side of Vancouver Island, (though the brakes might not like the road!). Gotta see the Ogopogo monster, not to mention 100 Mile House of course! Are you going to stop at Takaka falls, Emerald Lake, and Moraine Lake, and of course, Banff and Lake Louise across from Sunshine Mtn? Can't miss the Ice Fields Highway! Whattare ya going to do fir days thru the damned prairies though? Geeze! Maybe bypass them by going up to Yellowknife, Whitehorse, and then down to Church Hill? Wow. The continent suddenly seems as small as Ireland. Not! Good luck living together thru this And all the best hopes of fantastic adventure!

As requested, I am signing into the guestbook. I am sure your pages will fill up quickly. Jim now has both blogs bookmarked -- we'll be following along, party in amazement, partly in envy. An RV - that's almost like being in a boat, right? Soit sage, soit prudent, and have great memorable fun!

Hey strangers! Fantastic idea and wishing you well on your journey. Kent forwarded your blog address and excited to read along over the year. Great to see pictures of the kids - boy has time moved on since life on Roslyn Avenue. Kent and I have sold it all and moved around a few times - always good to mix it up. Enjoy!
Well Mark......not exactly what I thought you'd head off and do next buddy. I could not do this so in that sense I applaud you and your family but....but.....holy lifin' pal.....That's out there buddy. travel safely, enjoy the ride, literally and figuratively and best of luck. My prayers are with you for a safe trip and experience. Gidday.

Very cool Mark! There is only one other Dad I know who has taken a year off and done something like this with his family. I have the deepest admiration for guys like you. Thanks for sharing the experience this way with me.

Hi all! Saw you and your Family on KTLA Ch 5 this morning. Being avid RV'ers ourselves, I've suggested a similar adventure to my wife with no luck...
I wish you all the best and hope your boys have an adventure they will never forget and maybe even give them the road trip bug to do it one day themselves with their own family!
