Day 13 - "Epic" New Zealand Adventure 2022

Onboard the Majestic Princess Cruise Ship

Although we're on the 13th day of our "epic" 57-day adventure, we got a few days head start, Bob and Joyce, our travel friends from Florida, arrived at our home in Arizona 5 days before we embarked on this trip.

New Camping Trailer

Grand Design Imagine XLS 17MKE

Operation Dynamo, 1940

Musee Dunkerque 1940 - Operation Dynamo

 September 7th & 8th, 2021 We spent the last couple of days in Dunkirk, France. Dunkirk's name was sadly marked in history during World War II. The Dunkirk evacuation, codenamed Operation Dynamo and also known as the Miracle of Dunkirk, or just Dunkirk, was the evacuation of Allied soldiers during World War II from the beaches and harbor of Dunkirk, in the north of France, ...
