SLOW SALLY & CREW

We’re back on the road!  This year we’re planning to drive at least as far as El Salvador and if we’re feeling extra ambitious, maybe all the way to Nicaragua.  

So many of you have already sent us well wishes on Instagram and Facebook – thank you so much for that, we are feeling very loved!

Despite leaving a month earlier than usual this year, we did not escape the winter weather (much to Marc’s disappointment).  At our house in Quebec, the snow started falling in early November and it stayed.  When we woke up on departure day, it was a windy and frigid -9 C (15 F).

We spent the early morning hours of Departure Day loading up the van and cursing the icy driveway as we hauled bins back and forth from the house.  With Sally fully stocked, we said goodbye to our house and headed to Tim Hortons for breakfast – now a Departure Day tradition.  With stomachs full of breakfast sandwiches and barely lukewarm tea (not sure how Tims managed to screw up tea), we hit the road and headed south.

We’re currently house-mousing with our friend Elias on the Outer Banks in North Carolina, enjoying the beach and sunshine while finishing up a few van projects. In a few days, we will be continuing our southbound journey.

2020 Trip Update

For many good but boring reasons, we opted not to blog during our 2020 trip, and this ended up being the only post. So if you’re wondering why the blog skips from 2019 to 2022, that’s why! Little did we know at the time of writing this that in a few short months, the COVID pandemic would sweep the world while we were still in Guatemala. With our travel insurance threatening to bail on us, we rushed back to Canada, resulting in a different travel route than we had planned. We meticulously documented our travels on Instagram and here on our interactive map if you’re interested in checking out what we got up to.
