Thu - 16 - 19 Mar/17

We departed OMS today for home to beat the "Biker Week" and "March School Break" crowd heading home on I-95 out of Florida.

Good weather and travelling. We stayed overnight at the Flying J in Ruther Glen, VA.

As bad weather will be crossing our path we decided to stay at the Days Inn in Chambersburg, PA for 2 nights (Fri/Sat). I winterized the motorhome (water system) on Saturday as it is still Below Freezing in Canada.

Sunday morning we headed for home. Light snow had fallen here overnight; but all cleared and we had dry roads after a half hour.

We had envisioned a long wait crossing customs into Canada. There were no cars in line when we crossed at Ogdensburg, NY into Canada around 5 p.m. When we mentioned this to the Customs Agent who said that it was backed up over the International Bridge (about a 2 hour wait) until 5 minutes ago.

WOW! PERFECT TIMING!

We pulled the motorhome into Liz's driveway in Ingleside, ON about 5:30 p.m. They arrived home about 5 minutes later - Marty had a hockey practice from 4 – 5 pm in Long Sault, ON.

We had our traditional homecoming "Pizza" supper at Liz's.  Kat joined us for supper after her work finished at 6 p.m. We handed out the "Coming Home" gifts, took the things that could freeze out of the motorhome and unhooked the Del Sol.

Charlotte went home with Kat (She lives just around the corner) and I returned in the Del Sol after I contacted Cogeco to start up our TV/Internet/Phone services. I had to use Liz's phone for the call as our cell phone (on a USA service) stopped service near Watertown, NY. I returned home as soon as this was accomplished.

The first thing we both did was both take a "Tubby". After 3 months of showers, the Jacuzzi felt Soooo...Good!

We decided to not return for a "Second Half" in the south as we usually do. Our late departure due to a cancelled medical appointment meant our first 3 month stay ended too close to spring (officially, next week, Eh!) to make it worth returning for only 1 month. Most of Charlotte’s “Sewing Buddies” had either already left or would be gone by the time we returned. Perhaps we will plan a summer trip somewhere?

Thus ends another "Snowbird" season.
