- Tampa Bay
We had two weeks to get to Tampa from the Raleigh area, so we had planned on doing some sightseeing and taking our time getting to Florida for the remaining two games in our schedule. After another night's stay at the rink in Raleigh, we pulled up stakes and headed so... (Continue Reading 'Tampa Bay')
- Raleigh
Weekly travel
It was a quick trip home for 48 hours and it was time to head back to the RV in Atlanta. We were able to have a visit with family and friends and of course with my crazy little Robbie man. The dog that never stops ent... (Continue Reading 'Raleigh')
- Detroit
It was another quick drive and we were in Detroit before we knew it. We stayed for one night in the suburbs of Dearborn Michigan. Nearby is the Henry Ford Museum. I remember going there with my family as a kid. Now that was a couple of years ago for sure. We drove... (Continue Reading 'Detroit')
- Pittsburgh
Columbus and Pittsburgh are very close to each other, but we decided to drive as far as Wheeling, West Virginia and stay put for a couple of days. It was great to catch up on some extra sleep and just relax. Our four days in Las Vegas during th... (Continue Reading 'Pittsburgh')
- Columbus
It was a long snowy and yucky drive to Columbus from Washington. We left early in the morning and soon were in Virginia driving through the rolling Appalachian Mountains. The weather would go from clear and sunny to stormy with poor visibility an... (Continue Reading 'Columbus')
- Washington
The driving is easy on this part of the tour, but we move along quickly. We arrive at a place, watch the game, and move on to the next place after the game. I'm having trouble remembering where I am sometimes. But for the people who know me, they'd say that's n... (Continue Reading 'Washington')
- Philadelphia
We left for Philadelphia right after the game in New Jersey. It was about an hour drive so we were in Philly before we knew it. We actually stayed in the south of New Jersey near the Flyer's practice facility. They practice right across the P... (Continue Reading 'Philadelphia')
- New Jersey
We realized after we settled in our hotel that we should have driven over to to New Jersey after the Islanders afternoon game. Oh well, live and learn. It was our first time that we had back to back games. It is easy to get around in the enviro... (Continue Reading 'New Jersey')
- Long Island
With another mapquest clutched tightly in our hands, it was off to Long Island. Up and down and around the one way streets in Manhattan, and we made our way across to Long Island via the Queens-Midtown Tunnel. The directions were easy to follow (much better than the... (Continue Reading 'Long Island')
- New York
We left Boston after the game and drove as far Mystic Connecticut. In the morning we made our way to the Ranger's practice facility in Tarrytown. And what a practice facility. We were given a tour of the building by Miles and then watched the practice. The Rangers shar... (Continue Reading 'New York')
- Boston
Well, it was up and at 'em early this morning. And it was a good thing too. Winter decided to make an appearance overnight in Burlington Vermont. It snowed quite heavily during the night and the conditions were blizzard-like. We had encountered some snow and ice in... (Continue Reading 'Boston')
- Montreal
Well, the pace is fast and furious and we are now in Montreal. There wasn't much to see on the way here, because we drove straight from the afternoon game in Ottawa, and it was dark by the time we left. After a few turns in the wrong direction, we finally found o... (Continue Reading 'Montreal')
- Ottawa
After crossing the border yet again to get back to Canada, we had a good night's rest at the Comfort Inn. It was a long day in Buffalo. We were lazy and slept in a bit and drove towards Toronto for a quick meeting at lunchtime and then made our way... (Continue Reading 'Ottawa')
- Buffalo
New Year's Greetings to one and all. I hope that everyone had a good time ringing in the new year and that this year will be happy and safe for all. After a bit of a break for more visiting (and too much eating), it was time to drive to Buffalo. We are also leavin... (Continue Reading 'Buffalo')
- Toronto
Well folks, here we are back on the road again. The trip to Toronto to see the Leafs is like a home game for us. We are about an hour and a half from the ACC, so this trip was a piece of cake. We have been enjoying our time at home, but it has been busy too. Lots ... (Continue Reading 'Toronto')
- Atlanta
It was a very short trip to Atlanta. It was a mere three hour drive to the north part of the city. After some of our long stretches of driving, three hours is a piece of cake. We travelled to the suburb of Marietta where we stayed for two nights and days. We had s... (Continue Reading 'Atlanta')
- Nashville
What a great city. We easily found the Gaylord Centre in the downtown area of the city. We weren't attending the practice so we decided to park and explore the downtown. We parked in a city lot and paid for two spaces!!! A quick walk found us on Music Row. We were goi... (Continue Reading 'Nashville')
- Weekly Travel
It was an uneventful drive leaving St. Louis. Interestingly enough, we crossed the Mississippi River at St. Louis Missouri and were in East St. Louis Illinois. It seemed funny that we started in Chicago and were back in Illinois. The State of Missouri is bordered ... (Continue Reading 'Weekly Travel')
St. Louis
After leaving Sikeston, it was a short drive to St. Louis. We are looking forward to our stop in St. Louis. One of Dan's former teammates in Owen Sound, Curtis Sanford is playing in St. Louis. We also have an Elmira connection to the Blues. Dennis Wideman ... (Continue Reading 'St Louis')
Weekly Travel
We left bright and early at 5:00 AM and decided to have a long driving day. Houston is closed to the border of Texas and Louisiana so it wasn't long till we were leaving Texas. We had wanted to tour the New Orleans area, but decided against going there... (Continue Reading 'Weekly Travel')
Houston
We thought Dallas was a big city. Not compared to Houston. We found out that Houston is now the fourth largest city in the United States. It is very, very sprawled out. And you drive for miles to get anywhere. This driving compares to that in Los Angeles. Lots of ... (Continue Reading 'Houston')
Dallas
It was a very short drive to Dallas. We were already at the border of Oklahoma and Texas, and Dallas is in the north part of the state, so it was a short little hop to get there. We found an RV park in the suburb of Arlington, which is west of Dallas/Fort Wor... (Continue Reading 'Dallas')
- Weekly Travel
Well, we got up in the morning and the wind hadn't blown us away. Just about though. We drove south of Oklahoma City and the winds were really picking up. We didn't have to be in Dallas for two days, so we decided to have a short drive today. We found an RV ... (Continue Reading 'Weekly Travel')
Weekly travel
If anyone reading this gets a chance to visit the Sedona-Flagstaff area north of Scottsdale and Phoenix Arizona, do so. It is amazingly beautiful. Pictures cannot do the scenery justice. The scrubbiness and flatness of the desert gives rise to the red rock h... (Continue Reading 'Weekly Travel')
Denver
It was a long drive to Denver. We stayed for the night in Phoenix after the game right at the arena. We left first thing in the morning (6:00 AM) for our long drive to Denver. We had over 800 miles to cover in two days. We wanted to be in Denver by Friday evening s... (Continue Reading 'Denver')
