16,000 Miles: Prelude to the Home Stretch!

I have embarked on what I hope will be a 4 month, 17,000 mile motorcycle ride through the US and parts of Mexico and Canada to visit family and friends and to benefit Children International.  Please consider supporting me – learn more here Will's Charity Ride for Children International - PledgeIt




This is the beginning of the home stretch.  I am still headed north to Vancouver to visit Etienne Ricardez who is attending the University of British Columbia.  I'll be spending up to 7 days in and around Vancouver and Victoria Island.  Then, only then will I be really in the home stretch heading south to my wife Charlene and our two dogs and one cat.  I miss my wife, our pets, my own bed, our friends.  I am ready to be back on familiar turf.  

Only 1,000 more miles to go to complete my commitment to the charity Children International.
