On the road to new adventures ........

[AndrewP]

Lou! I'm glad to hear from you and that you are finding some distance and humour.

You know, it's weird for me how there seem to be women out there who will enable the sort of madness like what your H is living.

Years ago I looked in to traveling by freighter thinking that it might be an inexpensive alternative to get from point A to B as long as you are willing to go slower. They actually do book passengers. It turns out that it's not any cheaper especially once you figure in the daily costs for meals etc but it did seem like a way to get around.

If you want to read a fascinating adventure look up "Miss Cindy Catamaran". I followed his story for a while (I build small boats too) and it looked fun but way out of my league. One thing that he did though was to buy a beat up old car for cheap, drove it from British Columbia to Mexico and then gave it away when he launched.

I wonder if buying a cheap car at your destination and then car camping / hosteling as long as the car keeps running would be a flexible way to adventure? I have no idea myself. I'm rather a homebody loving my little village and home. One problem I think with trains is that they only go where there are tracks.

If you do make it to Canada and my little village in the back of nowhere, I have a spare room you'd be welcome to use.

Hugs right back to you LouR!
