September 5th & 6th, 2021 Thanks to everyone who answered our shout out on Facebook on where to go before we have to be in Paris. Bruges (Brugge) Belgium is the destination most of you said we shouldn't miss. I have to say, I think this was my favorite city on this trip, or reading the title of this blog, is it the foodie in me that says it's my favorite? We found a nice camping spo...
September 3rd, 2021 Since we planned to slow down and enjoy the small country towns, our next stop was in Roosdaal, Belgium. We planned to spend a couple nights in one small town, then travel to the next stop. After a few stops like this, we'd be back in Paris. Our stop in Roosdaal was at the town's sports field. There was a free motorhome parking area, that included free electric, water and...
Next Saturday, we can't return the motorhome until 8:00AM and our flight leaves at 11:30AM. That only gives us 3 hours to return the rental (with inspection), get a taxi to the airport, check-in and go through security. I don't like taking chances with timing when flying. We've booked a hotel ($63 US) near the airport and near the rental return location for the night befor...
Sorry I haven't updated this blog lately, but we had terrible Internet service and no electricity for several days. Let's get caught up. Better late than never... We couldn't believe how many semi-trucks were going into Poland from Germany. August 27th After spending one night in Poland, we headed back to Germany. After only a couple hours of driving we stopped at the Wo...
No wrong turn - a trip to Poland was a last minute decision. One of the nice things of traveling by motorhome is the freedom to change plans on a whim. But I'm getting ahead of myself. August 25th Today was mainly a down day, catching up on computer issues, editing photos, and updating this blog. We rewarded ourselves with a nice evening out. We drove not far from the campground to a Cr...
August 22nd Not much happening today at the Stellplatz in Eisenberg, Germany. We stuck around the motorhome catching up on photos, videos, and updating this blog. We had planned to do some shopping and perhaps get a good meal out, but everything is closed - it's Sunday. Although, it wasn't really a "Sun" day, it rained all day long. ☺ August 23rd Still raining, bu...
August 19th We moved about an hour away to the small town of Hochspeyer. Along the way, we detoured to the US Military Base in Sembach. We were stationed here from 1983-1986 when it was operated by the USAF. Since then, they've turned half of the base over to the community and it's now an industrial area. The other half is now operated by the US Army. We were curious to what it looked ...
August 18th We tried to get in touch with Jake's parents, but never did. Guess they're out on a trip, or at least not answering their phone. Jake also tried and couldn't get ahold of them. Oh well, we still enjoyed our visit to Wiesbaden (mostly). We stayed at a regular paid campsite near downtown Wiesbaden. "Wörther-See-Straß" is privately owned and it was a quiet stay. We decided...
August 16th Today was mainly a driving day (Connie say's they are all driving days). However, this was a 4½ hour drive to be close to the France/Germany border. Our destination was another free Aire in Pfaffenhoffen, France. This free Aire is provided by the town and was great, with free water and dumping, and cheap electricity. We got 12 hours of electric for €6 ($7.20 US), but was mo...
August 10th It's been over 35 years since we were last here, when we lived in Germany for three years (USAF). This trip all started with an very early morning on August 10th. Waking up at 3:00am, we caught a shuttle to the Phoenix airport. Arriving at PHX, we had to present our passport, proof of our COVID vaccinations, and a form letter from France where we would confirm we hadn't been in contact...
