    Getting closer now

    27 avril 2022, Australie ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    All lined up waiting for the UBER to arrive. Funny thing but I’ve already been charged for Uber as I pre booked it a few days ago, and accidentally set it to 3:30am. Haha that cost me a $33 boo boo fee. Poor driver, wonder how long he sat outside this morning? 😂En savoir plus

    Arrived Singapore Changi Airport

    28 avril 2022, Singapour ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Well that was a very comfortable trip in Premium, got a feed and then bedtime. Slept pretty much most of the way. Arrived Changi 5:55am. And now the layover wait till out next flight at 11:00. This airport is massive.
    Amazing dining options here at Changi airport. When you eventually find the food court amongst the massive shopping mall you are spoiled with options.
    You can have Asian, Asian, Asian, Asian, or Burger King. 😂
    Needless to say as a breakfast meal, we chose Burger King.
    Food Street at the Airport. Had the Burger King breakfast, turkey bacon, cheese and powdered scrambled egg!    En savoir plus

    28 avril 2022, Singapour ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C

    On board now for our final leg to New York. This is the longest flight we’ve ever been on and it is currently the longest non stop flight in the world stretching out to 18:50
    That’s why we chose to do Premium economy for the extra legroom and comfort. As you can see in the pics and the video much more space to stretch out.En savoir plus

    Amtrak to Harrisburg PA

    29 avril 2022, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    These railway stations in the USA are just stunning. We’ve done many trips with Amtrak and the central stations on the East coast are magnificent monuments to the early days of rail in America.
    We’ve seen Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Chicago and New York, all are just enormous and museums in their own right.
    Next leg is just 1:40 to Harrisburg and then we’ll be in our home on wheels.
    Amtrak police keeping us safe.    En savoir plus

    Collecting Betty Berkshire

    29 avril 2022, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Finally picking up the baby, and getting the once over on use of all features and functions. Beautifully appointed and enough room to sleep 8.
    Did a practice black tank dump and all went well. Time now to hit the road and see where our first day on the road takes us. Obviously it’s going to be in the direction of Pittsburg as tomorrow we catch up with great friends that looked after Bec in her Youngstown State college years. Bec and Shannon became roommates and shared years of up’s and downs together.En savoir plus

    Ye Olde Grist Mill RV Park. PA

    29 avril 2022, États Unis ⋅ 🌙 10 °C

    After a lot of fluffing about and checking out a few places we decided to drive on a bit towards Pittsburgh and discovered this beautiful park in the mountains that is still an old working Grist Mill. Still manufactures product and food items today. Got here in the dark so will post some more pics tomorrow of the mill before we head off.
    Now with the RV fully opened up we can probably have a dance, see the pics.    En savoir plus

    Great Sleep in

    30 avril 2022, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

    Well after a very cold night because we didn’t know how to turn the furnace heater on we had a great sleep beautiful comfy bed, and this morning we figured out how to turn the furnace on and we got the place cooking.
    We also have no hot water and can’t find any instructions for the control panel. Ah well, just another day in paradise.

    Some shots here of the RV set up with the slides out at this beautiful old Mill RV park, we’re gonna go check out the mill itself a bit closer before we head off.    En savoir plus

    Burnt Cabins at Grist Mill. PA

    30 avril 2022, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

    Lovely campsite and spent some time exploring this morning. The original mill was built in the 1760’s.
    The mill has been refurbished a few times in its life, the latest being in the 1980’s and the mill still produces flour to make local products.
    The owner showed us around and gave us an interesting history of the name Burnt Cabins.

    Turns out in the 1700’s that the Indian lands were being occupied by original settlers against the Penn Land Treaties Act and built cabins etc in the wrong place and Built on Indian land and the government at that time was still the British. The Indians complained and the government would move the people on but then kept coming back again because there was cabins. The Indians tried again and said if the government did not do something about it they will, so the government then stepped in again and this time the Brits came in and just moved them along and burnt the cabins to the ground so there was nothing to come back to. Well it seems the Brits honoured their land acts with the Indians, shame the new republic did not.    En savoir plus

    Pittsburgh PA Cracker Barrel

    30 avril 2022, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    Rolled into Pittsburgh this evening with a Boondocking stay at the local Cracker Barrel. They love RV’ers And have layup areas that you can stay overnight in for free. Makes a great stop when you’re doing a passing through trip, and they even open at 7:00am for breakfast if you need to get an early start.
    Boondocking is their word for free camping, no hookups, very popular over here.
    Then got picked up by friends and taken out for dinner to a great popular night spot the Bamboo Bar. Great feed and great company.
    A big thank you to Jeannie for bringing along a whole heap of stuff for the RV to make life a bit more comfortable. Thank you for the lovely gifts as well. The RV isn’t equiped for an extended trip as we soon found out.    En savoir plus

    Morning wake up and Brekky at the Cracker Barrel. Had some rain during the night and was nice sound on the roof of the RV.
    Still having some issue with the hot water but do hope to get that sorted today.
    Brekky was typical American. Check out the size of Sue’s buttermilk pancakes.    En savoir plus

    Reunion with old friends. OH

    1 mai 2022, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Catching up with old friends that we met on our various trips to the USA is probably the most exciting part of the whole trip. We met up with Brad who has hosted us many times over here and we met Brad originally back in 2016 on one of our Christmas trips and he was sitting in an Olde English pub in the snow with a roaring fire by the Christmas tree where we met him and we just became friends and that’s continued from that day.
    Brad had arranged a great spot for us to park up the RV for a few days here at the small private airport and we got all the luxuries and no noise and no people, was fantastic. Once we were set up he took us off to his favourite local called Shakers where we enjoyed some Guinness, a few good feeds as can be seen in the pics, and then back to his place for a quiet chat before heading back to the RV, so it was a great day for all of that and now looking forward to the next few days.
