Today we woke early to finalise our packing in preparation for our long awaited camping trip to the Maritimes. After having driven to Gananoque yesterday to pick up our trailer, we subsequently spent all afternoon packing and preparing the van. After years of tenting it, the camper trailer seems very luxurious. From its queen size bed, fridge and indoor lounge area to its automatic winder, we hope it will be a great arrangement for the next seven weeks.
With the kids safely ensconced in the back, up to their ears in IPODS, PC games, books, food and other essentials designed to keep them quiet, we headed up the 401 for Quebec City, around 8.30am. It was a slow drive – we were worried about the load our trusty van was pulling so we pulled in to Juneau Chalets Camp Ground (just in time for the rain), unpacked and settled in. John’ expert trailer backing ability was showcased for all the family to see.
By 5.00pm it was really raining and at this point, it looks as if it has settled in for quite a while. What’s a true camping trip without rain? At least we can lie in our luxurious beds as we listen to the constant pitter patter on the roof of the now obviously waterproof trailer and ponder what lies ahead for us over the next 48 days!
