We stayed at Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows on Maui.
After landing at the airport, we picked up our rental car; we got to pick out our car, and chose a Nissan Rogue, since we’ve owned one before, and Mom has one, so we’re familiar with them (though this was newer, so a bit different):
We went to Raising Cane’s for a second dinner:

Since our Alaska trip was postponed, we decided to commiserate with a trip to Hawaii instead. We’ve previously been to Hawaii a few times (and Jenn grew up there), and had been to the Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, but we still needed to check off the Haleakalā National Park on Maui.

A timelapse of driving our RV, a Tiffin Allegro Bus motorhome, 261 miles / 420 km, about five hours of driving, from Wild Rose RV Park in Hope, British Columbia, Canada to our home base near Shelton, Washington, USA.
Jenn drove our coach and I followed in our truck (due to the tow failure) 261 miles / 420 km, about five hours of driving, from Wild Rose RV Park in Hope, British Columbia, Canada across the border to our home base near Shelton, Washington, USA.
Here’s a map showing our route, heading south:

Again, not a lot of pictures of this trip, since I was driving the truck.
Waterfalls behind our site at Wild Rose RV Park:
It wasn’t the quietest campground, with a train just across the road:
A little narrow driveway:
At a rest stop:
Fuel stop in Washington; we’d missed easy fueling at truck stops:
We didn’t make it to Alaska, but we did check off British Columbia, so we marked the occasion by replacing the faded states map with one that included Canada (we had previously been to Ontario when we visited Toronto for a Blue Jays game):
Our coach at home, freshly cleaned:

We went to the cafe again for breakfast, and got some croissants for today and cinnamon rolls for later:

A timelapse of driving our RV, a Tiffin Allegro Bus motorhome, 150 miles / 241 km, about three hours of driving, from Rosco’s RV Park in Fort St John to Azouzetta Lake Lodge & Campground in Mackenzie, British Columbia, Canada.
After our truck decided it didn’t want to go to Alaska after all, we made the difficult decision to head home, rather than try to continue our trip in a sub-optimal way, by either driving separately or leaving our truck in Fort St John and renting a car in Alaska. We’ll try again in a year or two.

No pictures of the road from this trip (and the next few), since I was driving, but still a bunch from our stops.
We stayed at Rosco’s RV Park for two nights, and had lunch at TJ’s Country Kitchen, out front of the RV park:
