Life at 55 mph

In 2008 I lost my job. I then bought an RV and went on a three year road trip that took me to all of the lower 48 states, to 5 provinces in Canada, and I spent 3 months in the winter in Mexico. I then returned home for my 50th birthday in June 2011. This blog is a record of this amazing road adventure and I hope you enjoy every mile of my trip.

Cabrillo National Monument, San Diego, California (click here for more info)

Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo was the first European to set foot on the west coast of the United States. This National Monument is the most southwesterly spot in the contiguous United States.

While I was there, I got a text message from Verizon saying "Welcome to Mexico" with instructions on how to place a call within Mexico. Later while driving, I saw signs that said "Welcome to California". I'll admit I have no sense of direction but I know I never left the states!
