We made arrangements with the school to homeschool all of them for the month of June and hope to be leaving our beautiful, tempered Victoria for the still beautiful but hot Montreal by May 31st. We will cross the country stopping several times on the way. Our goal would be to go from Sidney, BC to Sydney, NS but we will see how the finances are at that point. We will be gone for almost 3 months, coming back at the end of August for school.
It's been quite the journey to plan!
First off, we decided to do a home exchange. We registered with Home Exchange.com and it went really well. It was easy to set up and really straight forward. We are going through all the details to prepare for their arrival here. It will make it so much easier over there for us. We will have their full house from mid-July to the second week of August. We still have no plans for June and beginning of July but we will stay with a family for two days for my brother's wedding. We have been hosting couchsurfers for a while now but it will be the first time that we surf at someone's place!
We just bought a small trailer to tow all our gear. We plan on painting it and the kids have been working on a logo for our family to paint on the side of it.
I will write back on our plan for the trailer and the preparation that we have already done for the roadtrip.
We have been mapping our trip and deciding where to stop. I have to admit we do not have much in Saskatchewan or Manitoba. Since we are traveling with our friend David, we will stop to see his family in Saskatoon and I am hoping to see a friend in Moose Jaw. Nothing yet for Manitoba.
If you know any good places in Canada, especially the prairies to go visit, let us know!
