Headed South...

How many Canadians are staying home or doing something different this year ? With the CAD at close to 60% of the USD there has to be many .
  • I was thinking the same thing as another. The weather has bee .. not so nice . Might wait a bit to see how or if it turns around and go later. I'd really like to take advantage of the fuel prices right now. Even with exchange rate its still cheaper than up here.

    Missing states.. Arkansas, Colorado, Tennesee .. We've travelled by sailboat, motorcycle, truck and camper and motorhome. I'm doing a bike trip this spring so I might nail these ones.
  • Alot of the OLD SMART RVers not going south this year are wx savy, El Nino savy and suspected the wx conditions that most likely would occur in CA and AZ. Wet, windy, rainy, cold wx in AZ and CA. Warmer wx in WY this winter. Actually glad I'm not in Quartzsite this year. From experience there is nothing like being cooped up in a small RV all winter because we tried to escape the northern cold wx. We'll all see you again afer El Nino is over. Have fun in the wx down there. Understand they are selling umbrellas in Quartzsite. :B
  • John Prince Park in Lake Worth FL was about 75% Quebeccers.
  • We will be heading south for a few weeks but probably using Walmarts and other cheaper spots to stay. At least the fuel prices are lower than they have been for years. We have made some good friends on our travels and look forward to seeing them again and don't want the costs to stop us from travelling.
