We left Florida later than we intended. The camper needed to be customized for Team DeCorso – new sofa, new table, 5 bunks with an optional 6th bunk, bunk lights and chargers, a new oven/stove, upgrades to the running lights, a new stereo and speakers, new countertop in the kitchen, 14 hooks for coats and… Continue reading A Comprehensive Update Part 1: Florida to Liverpool

Christmas Fairs in General
Christmas Markets are tiny shops that have tarps over them or some are board booths made out of wood and some are inside these tents that have a ton of tiny shops built inside. In Welshpool we got there the night they turned on the Christmas lights. They turned them on in the town center.… Continue reading Christmas Fairs in General
Kabobs, Pizza and Burgers
We have been driving around Wales for about three weeks. In those 21 days, I think maybe four of them have been sunny. The rest have been filled with a clothes drenching drizzle – mist, or pounding rain. If we’re lucky, there’s also 60mph winds to accompany the rain. This point is most accurately described… Continue reading Kabobs, Pizza and Burgers
Castles, Christmas Fairs, Rain and Dr Who
Castles here are very interesting. They are quite fun and I had quite a fun time in them. But some parts are quite sad like war fields and battles and towers where people died. In one castle there was a display made completely out of thin wood and it looked like a merry-go-round and it… Continue reading Castles, Christmas Fairs, Rain and Dr Who
The Beginning
I was hoping to be posting continuously when I left Fairbanks. Time did not permit that. I’m finding I have a lack of time pretty regularly these days. There is a lot to talk about. I went down to Tampa in late July. Goal one was to help Ryan get a new vehicle to drive… Continue reading The Beginning

On the train, there was a cafeteria and a bathroom but the cafeteria was closed but in first class,… Continue reading The Train Ride & a Castle
Leaving Edinburgh
We went out to eat at a pub called the Conan Doyle, named after Arthur Conan Doyle who wrote Sherlock Holmes. I got the Nicholson’s Grill, which had fries, a chicken breast, a sausage, gammon steak, which was somewhat like bacon, and a ribeye steak. On the last day in Edinburgh I bought a flute… Continue reading Leaving Edinburgh
Our House
The apartment we are staying at is very nice. It is big enough for all of us, and very centrally located on the Royal Mile. Our house has three heaters, and a fake fire place. It has two mini fridges and a freezer. The street it is on, Bell Wynd, is supposedly haunted. A man killed… Continue reading Our House
Edinburgh
The Royal Mile is a stretch of streets, one Scots mile long. It starts at Edinburgh Castle and ends at Holyrood Palace. The Royal Mile was given its name in 1901 when used in a book. The Royal Mile is lined with victoran houses and old churchs and cathedrals. The Royal Mile plays a big… Continue reading Edinburgh
Canada by Sylvia
The trip from Florida was fun. We got to camp on the roadside and we had a fun time driving and we finally reached our destination which was Canada! We went to the Bay of Fundy which has the highest tidal bores in the world. We got to climb around on caves and rocks and… Continue reading Canada by Sylvia
