Hi Everyone,

It's the Lance-Dance blog back again for a cross-country trip in our Lance travel trailer.  We will leave on April 23rd, right after a low-key celebration with my mother on her 100th birthday.  Very amazing!!!  

Because of the time of year, we will travel a southern route, going to the most southern tip of Texas, South Padre Island, on the Gulf of Mexico.  We will be on the road for 19 days, arriving in Maine on May 11th.  We will be in Maine for 3 1/2 wonderful weeks visiting our daughter, son-in-law and grandkids.  We fly back home on June 3rd, leaving the truck and trailer at our little place in Maine for the summer.  After spending additional time this summer in Maine, we will start our trek home in mid-September via a northern route.  We will head across Southern Canada and drop back down into the US in North Dakota, arriving home early to mid-October.

While traveling, our plan is to visit new states, new national parks and see some amazing new birds.

Come along for the adventure!

Here are two pictures of our trailer.  It will be our cozy home for the next 19 days.

This is a map of our route.  Before any side trips, it will be about 4,826 miles according to Google Maps.
