Homeward Bound in Our New Toy



Today we began the long journey back to Edmonton, AB.  We have enjoyed our trip to the East very much, but we are missing our family, especially Daniel.  BUT, we have a new toy to test out as we travel.  She is a beauty!  A 2008 Safari Simba 36 foot, two slide diesel pusher!!!!!  Bill is particularly happy as he has a diesel once again and a jake brake for those long descents.  No more overheated brakes and the risk of losing everything on the downward travel.  We can spread our wings as we now have a couple of slides.  It is set up for a washer/dryer and I can't wait to have that installed...we will wait until we travel in the US as they are much cheaper.  Looking forward to less concern of a breakdown and finding parts as we travel as well.  Should be a very reliable bus!

This time next  week, we should be back in Edmonton.  Family Day at the Edmonton Garrison is Saturday September 8th and we would like to be home for that.  I wonder if Ryan will be volunteered for the dunk tank????? Stay tuned.
