Join Louise and her husband, Charlie, on a road trip across Canada in their temperamental RV, Lucy, as they trail east from Ottawa, Ontario to Cape Breton Island then head west to Dawson City in the heart of the Yukon.
Isle Madame provides the perfect setting for a family wedding. The spectacular views from a helicopter over the largest ice fields in Canada are overwhelming. The visit to Dawson City, where Louise's father began his RCMP career, makes her memories of him come to life. A stopover at her cousin's farm on the Prairies in western Canada reminds Charlie that there is indeed a strain of quirkiness in the family.
Live the frustrations when Lucy decides to stay put, then cheer when she manages to get them to the next town. Share their amazement at the beauty and diversity of the vast landmass that is Canada.

Come and travel with Louise, Barbara, Jan, and Wendy on roads less traveled to out-of-the-way places. The stories are filled with their adventures and mishaps, frustrations and delight and are as diverse, entertaining, and enlightening as the countries travelled to.
Together, with visits to more than 55 diverse cities in more than 20 countries, they have compiled 26 of their favorite travel stories.
Barbara travels to a museum worthy of London or Paris but finds it in Timbuktu. Jan teaches you how to jump off a ferry and land on Inishmaan, one of the Aran Islands, when the surge drops the ship 15 feet. Wendy, desperate for a newspaper, defies a security alert and drives out the Jalalabad Road in Kabul to pick up the British Saturday edition of the Times. Louise feels the walls of the rhyolite tuff, or “kneeling nun tuff” as it is commonly called, in the cellars of Eger in Hungary.
They invite you to join them as they explore the world.
