RVing with a Calgary family

After months of planning, Albertans Calvin Boraas, his wife Louise Brenders and their sons Erik and Alexander, have embarked on their greatest adventure, to date—a six-month RV trip that will take them down through the southern states of the U.S., then up along the eastern coast of Canada and across the country back to their home in northwest Calgary. The family is sending us reports from their trip. Here are their stories:

    Our first impressions

    After two months, we have seen and experienced many unforgettable things—some planned, most not. Quite often it’s the stuff you did not expect that broadens your mind and becomes the most memorable.

    Report 1 My favourite thing about travelling is that you can see so much.

    Before they set out, the family was kind enough to stop at the office of RVwest in Cranbrook, B.C., to give us all the details of their trip.
