Day 342, Friday, May 30th - return to Canada

It is time to put the blog to bed.  After 16 months of non stop travelling we are heading "home".  We have worked very diligently to get the boat ready for sale.

We wake up in a normal bed as we stayed the night at Brad and Laura's in Crownsville near Annapolis. We are all loaded and ready to go, with 1 stop needed at the boat and a final good bye to Jazzebelle.

Packed for home

Boy this uhaul points well.  We can go in whatever direction we want which is a treat, and not worry about anchors dragging or storms.  We set out by 8:00 for the 10 hour drive to Port Credit.  Julie contacts Diana and Paul to see if we can crash at their place overnight as we want to catch Ross's season opener in Guelph the following evening.

The drive north is uneventful.  Roads are good, traffic is light, and the speed is incredible. We can't believe that what took us months to accomplish by boat we will do in 10 hours.  Originally we crossed the border at Fort Erie to Buffalo by boat September 7th 2013 and got to Annapolis about October 23rd, and now in 10 hours we will travel from Annapolis and go over the river we navigated on our way south.  Wow, a lot of effort to get that boat south.

As we cross over to Canada there is a feeling of excitement being back in our homeland.  There is nothing like Canada, snow, bugs and all!

We make it to "Noel Hotel" by early evening and have a visit with Diana, and Paul and their dogs Alice and Toby of course.

Cheers
Julie and Dawson
