Today's NY Times brings the news that this summer's vacationers are "ditching their shoes and seeking out destinations that shun the gloss and polish of their everyday lives." They want "more authentic experiences than a five-star resort can offer them. This is completely about immersing yourself in a particular culture."
OK, I can go with that. This summer, I want to immerse myself in Canadian culture.
"They find that they want to immerse themselves in something they can't quite put their finger on. They want to be African or be Moroccan, a they see it."
This summer, I want to be Canadian.

The Main Idea
The main idea for the upcoming travel is John Steinbeck's wonderful book "Travels with Charlie in Search of America" in which he and his dog drove around to see what they could see and meet who they could meet.
The similarity is striking: I'm single, have a pet and a small RV, and the three of us are setting out on an adventure around North America. We'll start in Minneapolis and head north into Canada, or at least that's the plan so far. Hope to get everything together by the end of June.

Getting the RV Ready
The front turn signal on the passenger side doesn't work and it looks like a bad contact on the socket, so I soldered a new ground wire to it.
