CHAPTER 1

I looked over at Becca. She was happily talking to Tia, the small dog belonging to the man who was driving us to Medicine Hat.

We had just said good-bye to Mom and Dad at the La Reata Ranch, and now we were on our way to a strange city without them.

Was it just because I was almost nine that I was worried? My six-year-old sister certainly wasn’t. It must be nice to be young.

I knew my mother would be pacing back and forth until she heard we had arrived safely at the home of Dona and John, who were friends of our family. Rob, the driver, was their son but we had never met him before and it made a difference. Tia was used to attention so Becca was busily petting the dog that now lay stretched across her lap.

I sat quietly and kept an eye on Becca. My job was to look after my little sister.

We drove into a town and Rob stopped for a washroom break, and then to buy some juice and gasoline. Tia had to be walked, and Becca was allowed to hold her leash.

Then we were on the road again.

By the time we got to Medicine Hat, Alberta, Rob and I were talking about different sports teams, and Becca and Tia had gone to sleep.

Rob was a pretty nice fellow after all.

Dona and John were waiting for us. We were going to be late arriving at the birthday party that was being held at a daughter’s house. That daughter was the mother of their grandson who was turning twelve. Another daughter, the one who was also having a birthday, was already at the party.

Being late did not matter.

Many people arrived after we did, and some were just coming in as we left for home.

I don’t think I had ever seen so much food at a party. Maybe that was because almost everyone there was an adult. Becca and I ate, and then we played with Tia in the back yard. The grandson was with a friend trying out his new roller blades. His sister, who was older, was busy talking to her boyfriend. We did not mind when Dona said it was time to leave.

Both Becca and I were happy to go to bed. It had been a long day, and Dona planned to be on the road at seven o’clock the next morning.

We were all up at six, showered and dressed, and had the RV loaded and ready to go at five minutes to seven.

Dona had decided we would have breakfast on the road.

This was going to be an exciting trip.

While John was stowing the food and baggage, Dona was showing us how the toilet and shower worked, and where we had to sit because of the seat belt arrangements. Only she and John would be at the front of the RV and John would be driving. She would be on his right watching the GPS (Global Positioning System). The GPS was like a moving map. Our RV was pictured as a red car moving along the highway. It showed Dona the roads and turns we needed to take. She would warn John in lots of time when there was a turn coming up because driving a big RV was very different than driving a car.

Pauli, the parrot, was in his cage on a table right behind Dona. There was a chair with a seat belt attachment beside Pauli so Becca and I would have to take turns in that seat. The other two seats with belts were on either side of the kitchen table and further back in the RV.

I want the Pauli seat first, I said.

That’s fine, John replied. "But let’s do it this way. Every time we stop the RV and get out, you two will change seats. You might be in the Pauli seat for two hours or for twenty minutes, because even I do not know how far it is between the places we want to see.

Of course if you both decide to sit at the kitchen table and play games or read, then whoever should be in the seat can move there at any time. How is that? Is that fair?

Becca and I both nodded our heads. I was going to get the Pauli seat first.

I guess I wasn’t thinking. We had only been on the road for twenty minutes when John pulled into a Tim Hortons store and we all piled out to buy our breakfast.

That stop cost me the Pauli seat. I moved to the table and looked at all the things that were lying there. There was the book I was reading, and Dona and John had purchased a colouring book and crayons, puzzle books, a map, and a deck of cards. I could easily amuse myself, or I could always look out the window.

Becca talked to Pauli and the bird answered her, although most times we were not sure what he was saying unless it was to ask for a peanut. That came through loud and clear.

Our first stop was the Birds of Prey Center in the town of Coaldale. I found it on the map.

Mom had lent me her camera, so the first stop was at the desk to buy admittance tickets and a roll of film. John put it in the camera for me. Mom wanted me to take lots of pictures so she could see all the things we would see on our trip to Edmonton.
