It is with extremely mixed emotions that I am able to tell you we have resumed our trip and are now in Florida preparing the bike for the next leg of the trip, to Canada.

As you know we came home in June when my mum was diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer. I was able to have two very special months with her, sharing our experiences to date and all the lovely photos, and it is a time I will never forget. Very sadly she passed away on the 19th July. Her last wish was that Chris and I resume our trip as soon as possible, so here we are, determined more than ever now to make the most of things. I will miss her very much, she always supported and encouraged be to undertake this trip and I loved being able to share our experiences with her.So here we are at Chris' brothers house, we will be on the road again tomorrow. Our plans are to ride northwest through the States until we reach Canada, then ride north along the Dempster highway as far as the weather will allow.

It was lovely to see a few of you over the last couple of months. Many thanks for all of your messages of sympathy, it is lovely to hear from friends at difficult times like this.
I hope you will all keep in touch.
