Summer 2013

OK, so I didn't blog almost all summer - here are the highlights in two blog posts:

Beautiful photos. That is one fancy looking RV from Germany. Good to see Carol too.

Always love the sea otter pics!

Are you planning to go back again next summer?

No, not sure yet what next summer will bring ... but something different. My next trip to Alaska will be at least a few years away - and will be touring again, I think.

Beth the photos were amazing and I can see where it would be hard to chose. I love the last one on the first post. The colors in the iceberg were amazing. Glad your summer was just what you wanted again.

Thanks for posting the blog, Beth. Great pics! :D
Those glaciers, icebergs, sea otters, whales.... are amazing!
Here's a link to the german RV website: http://www2.dethleffs.de/gb/motorhomes/05_esprit.php I can see why they ship them over here. Beautiful!

Great pics Beth. Wish I wasn't so concerned about the drive to Alaska. I'd love to experience all you've seen. I was in San Francisco for the America's Cup races yesterday and saw an RV on a Fiat chassis similar to the one in your pic. It looked about the size of mine with no slides. Would have loved to see the inside. Glad you had such a good summer. Wish I had that job on the LuLu Belle. For sure I would go up for that. :)

Catherine, the Esprit model in your link must be the same one I saw in San Francisco. At least it's on a Fiat chassis like the one I saw.

Catherine, thanks for finding the link. I think I know why they aren't offering them here.....they are beautiful and would take too many customers away from the manufacturers here. :) I appreciated that so many of the models come with twin beds....the sort of thing we struggle to even find here in the states. :roll:

Amazing photos. Sea otters are my favorite animal! I'm trying to plan for Alaska next summer and I sure hope it works out.

Thanks, all. Red, no I won't be returning next year. Not sure where I'll be, but think it's time for a new workamping adventure.

And there will be a part three as I remembered some pics on my camera lol.
