We're gearing up for the big trip!


We've been planning this trip for a very long time! Our six week adventure is through the Pacific Northwest, including a cruise through Alaska's Inside Passage. We're scheduled to leave Sunday, June 14th. There is lots to do this week in preparation for being away from Venteux so long and many things to get the Travco, aka the "Kyper", ready. Scott has spent countless hours to get our 1969 Dodge Travco running and ready for the 4,500 mile journey. And I am enjoying finalizing our itinerary and getting the limited interior space ready to roll. As for Jake and Clover, they're ready to go! We think this trip will be worthy of keeping a journal (and taking a few thousand photos!) and a blog seems to be the way to do it these days. Many places we are traveling to (state parks, etc) do not have internet access, so hopefully we'll be able to keep it up. So, barring any breakdowns (or killing each other in the tight quarters) we plan to keep you posted on what is sure to be the trip of a lifetime. There are so many beautiful places to see and new experiences ahead of us!

    Hopefully, you guys can stand each other for six weeks. I don't think I could ever travel with the same people for that long. I give your props for attempting that one. An Alaskan Cruise? That will be awesome! I'm super jelous! You should post the list of destinations you plan to visit. XXXXXX

    I hope that Scott brought all of the right tools and does not need any of them. I hope that Bobbi has no headaches. Can't wait to hear about the adventure and see all of the photos.....R.

    I was sitting in my travco when my iPhone buzzed me about a new Travco blog. I know your blog is about more than the Travco but as a fellow owner it will be especially interesting. I will be following and we live in the Seattle area so if you need anything while you are in the area (or in Alaska for that matter), just shout on here and we'll call you.
