In the fall of 2011, my lovely daughter-in- law Ash, a blogger, suggested that I blog about John’s and my Snowbirding trip to the US.
Snowbirding: When Canadians (Usually old, very) get the heck out of Canada via plane, train, automobile (A truck and a fifth wheel for the Smiths) during the winter.
I couldn’t believe that people would be bothered to read about our RV’ing escapades, but began anyway. Once we returned to Comox Valley, Vancouver Island, I fully intended to stop blogging, but couldn’t resist sharing the trials and tribulations of trying to assimilate back into North America: attempting to make friends, surviving family get togethers, enduring doctors’ appointments, fishing, handling Canadian weather… basically anything that amused us. Hopefully “Honey did you see that?” will entertain you too.

Honey Did you See That? 
Hi Shelly.. Your blog is amazing. You are inspiration for many, I love travelling too. Its my dream too, that on my retirement( a long way to go) I would love to go out my husband and venture out in this world.
