Some Background on Peter & Jo's next adventure
After 28 years in San Francisco raising 3 great kids, Peter & Jo have decided to go back to UK.
Although we have seen some great places in US, we have not been to many of the National Parks. So in July 2021 we have decided to drive across the country in an iconic piece of americana, the Airstream. If all goes well then we will ship the trailer to the UK from the East Coast in Oct/Nov 2021.
Why TrailerDreams name? A nod to our 1999/2000 Pacific trip = NautiDreams.com
Subject to travelling restrictions we will coming back to San Francisco regularly so it is not a goodbye, but more of a "Welwn ni chi cyn bo hir"
