Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Bornkamps
We hope that last year was a good year for you.
JANUARY WILL BE OUR 20TH YEAR ON THE ROAD.
We had a great year of traveling 2014. We spent New Year’s in Atlanta, Georgia watching the Georgia peach drop.
We visited President Carter’s Library. Then we visited Alabama and Mississippi. We spent six weeks in Louisiana (my favorite state). We stayed at St. Bernard State Park near New Orleans for two weeks and another 4 weeks at Betty’s RV Park in Abbeyville for Mardi Gras..(a fabulous time)
In March we visited Alamo, Texas and El Paso to visit family.
In April we moved to our new address, 5150 Oakridge Ave. #44, Pahrump, NV 89048.
June, July, August and ½ of September we were in Union City, CA., to attended
two grandsons graduation and a son’s 50th birthday party.
September 16th we went a 23 day cruise from San Francisco to Sydney, Australia. We stopped  at 5 islands along the way and then spent a month in Hawaii before returning to San Francisco.
November we spent Thanksgiving with family in San Francisco leaving the next day.
Today as I write this we are in Yuma, Arizona spending the holidays.

Much Love,

Never had an accident in the 19 years we have been on the road.....til now....

This may look like a fender bender and it is BUT we have not heard yet but it looks like our Progressive Insurance company is going to TOTAL our car....the passenger side air bag deployed and it seems that the price tag to fix that is about 2k....
I am quite DISAPPOINTED  in Progressive Insurance as it seems it will take an act of congress to get a call back from any agents....
We think it was not our fault because while making the left turn we were more than 3/4 of the way through..
We will see what happens...

 a private plane and was escaping Vietnam and got
permission to land on a carrier.. many, many stories
