Well, we are back on the road again. This time finally taking the vacation we planned over two years ago when we bought our first diesel bus in march of 2005. Now we have a new Beaver Contessa that we picked up at the factory in Oregon at the end of the domestic tour of Champions on Ice.

This one is 43 feet long and comes with a host of new parking challenges.

We are travelling up the coast of California on PCH and stopping to see as many sights as we can. Just driving along this historic route is an adventure in itself.

I will keep you posted with our progress and keep posting pics from where we are.

Our best regards,
Rena and John
