There are 8 million of our generation called Baby Boomers in Canada and 80 million in the USA. We are the largest generation of children born and have influenced economics, education, government and the workplace since the late Forties. In fact, we saved the Harley Davidson Motorcycle Company because we bought so many of them. We will continue to influence as we age and with the first of our generation hitting 65 this year we need to know what lies ahead. Through this site I hope to share some ideas and information that can answer those questions. I welcome your comments and suggestions but will remove anything that is detrimental to my readership as a whole. Lets have fun with this site and get informed together. Thanks, Dave

Is there still time to go RVing?
Its still winter here in Canada but there's still time for a short jaunt to meet the Sun on its northward treck. You have lots of options so lets check them out:
Fly away with me: The quickest way to get there is by plane and there are some deals to be found out there. Check out Westjet's Blue Tag Thursdays. Visit them at http://www.westjet.com . How about prices like this - $99 from Calgary or Edmonton to San Fran Cisco. Cool stuff and the discounts start after 1 pm every Thursday.
Or you could consider driving in your own vehicle or a new rental with great rates from online companies like www.redtag.ca who can help you with hotels, flights and car rentals. How about these last minute deals: Calgary to Veradero Beach Cuba on March 19 for $477 per person. Unbelievable. But you have to be flexible.
If you've got a bit more time why not take the RV. You'll have your home and your food and you can stop when and where you want to. Plan ahead though and make sure you have a great auto club plan like AMA's RV insurance coverage options. You never know when you'll need it.
Insurance aside you'll need to budget for fuel because you'll find prices ranging from $3.50 to $4 per gallon in the US and up to $5 in Canada. You'll also be paying for parking each night unless you find a free style sight without any services. Either way, plan well and worry less and most of all, enjoy your trip. Here's how a few folks do this full time. Enjoy the videos and tips.
