June 28 Going Home!

So where do I start. We are going home tomorrow after a simply wonderful excursion of North America. We initially started Christmas day and got into Palm Springs in 2 days. After spending 2 weeks there and flying home we got back to PS on March 9th, spent 2 weeks there and then pulled out. After the passing of our dear Father in law Kees Vandriel, we went back home for 4 days for the funeral and continued the trip from Phoenix. From there through the South to Florida, up to New York where we flew back home for one week to get caught up with kids, grand kids, work; we flew back and continued the trip up to the Maritimes, then across Quebec, Ontario, then dipping down into the States through "Tornado Ally" (where we did have some scares for sure) through the Midwest and into Washington.
We have had some ups and downs; yes Caroline and I have had some disagreements on how far to go, where to stay, even when to go out for dinner!! :) but at the end our faith and our love for each other continues to grow from this trip as well through our concerns for her cancer returning, which is always a possibility. There were no serious problems with the truck or the rig (nuances like resetting breakers and setting times on thermostats to work) but no accidents which we can be thankful to our Heavenly Father who has protected both of us and given us many memories which we will always cherish.
I'd also like to point out that we have met many good Christians and faithful Churches on our travels. We searched for either CRC, URC, OPC, or PCA churches and except for 2 weekends we found very true churches. The preaching we heard couldn't have been closer and more faithful than what we hear in our own Church and we are very thankful for that. So don't let it scare any of you if you feel a trip like this might be in your future, there are many other places to worship with fellow believers.
Today we worshipped at the URC in Burlington, again a very faithful Church.
Now technically speaking our RV trip is not done; we hope DV to continue with the rig some time in October through areas like Bryce canyon, Grand Canyon, Denver and so on, we have not finalized a route yet and wont until we leave. For now God bless you all and we'll send an email out when we hope to go to Palm Springs in October. Love Bill & Caroline

Some tidbits
We've driven approximately 430 hours from Palm Springs March 23rd
We've travelled just over 25,000 Kilometres from Palm Springs
I don't know how many gallons/litres of gas (I just may not add them up :))
I do know I went through about 15 gallons of Diesel Exhaust Fluid
