    Epic Indy Road Trip - Day Three

    June 19, 2016

    Summer

    May 22, 2016

    We hit the road early, heading to Regent, ND by way of the Enchanted Highway – so named for the huge metal sculptures that a local sculptor created. The Enchanted Highway was the reason for the trip. The highway ended in Regent, so that is where we planned...

    May 21, 2016

    We were up early for a yucky breakfast (not everyone eats pancakes; biscuits and gravy; or the weird, pre-made folded egg thing) at still-smelly Super 8; at least the coffee was good! Fortunately, we had plenty of provisions in our cooler, so I ate in our r...

    We had decided the night before that we would get up early and have breakfast at the Fisherman’s Market and Grill, located at Harbor Maine right there at the marina. We’d had lunch there a couple of times, and the food was good and reasonably price...

    Time is getting short, both for our departure and to get everything done for the boat purchase.

     

    24-hour rewind: We drove to Seattle to sign all the paperwork, pending approval of the surveys, and then headed up to Belligham to get our license plates – we did not want...

    Epic Indy Road Trip (Part III) T minus 2 Weeks

    May 23, 2016

    While trying to plan our Epic Road Trip, we were also trying to find a boat. Making travel plans while trying to purchase our own boat to live on (part time, anyway) was a challenge in several ways. We got lucky and found a boat for sale a few slips down from the one w...

    Summer

    We found an apartment in Bellingham pretty quickly, but it will not be ready until August. A friend generously offered to let us live on his 47’ catamaran, docked at Everett marina. As soon as we were settled, I got to work our trip. Using a combination of Google Maps,...

    Summer

    Prologue: As we began to realize that we would make it to the Epic Indy Weekend (EIW), we started checking flight schedules and prices. Our friends warned us that flights would be full and expensive, and they were. Bill said, “Why don’t we drive?” That was not a bad id...

    During the summer of 2014, we (my husband, Bill, and I) decided to move from St. Thomas, Virgin Islands to the Pacific Northwest. In April of 2016, the move became a reality. Over a year ago, friends who live in Indiana had planned to go – with a group of friends – to the Indy 500 (hereafter known as the Epic Indy Weekend). We told them if we were able to sell our condo in time and move to the States, we would join them. This is our story of moving from a small island in the Caribbean to the Pacific Northwest, our road trip to Indy, and  how well we adjust (or not)to a new - and cold - place.
