Well Hello There! Thanks for visiting our Site. We are George & Pamela Hurd. George & I retired in Anchorage, Alaska in 1998 and are now traveling full time. We live in a 45’ Monaco Executive RV with 4 slides and are following the best dancing and/or the best weather. We love this life style and will continue for the foreseeable future. We love to make friends, but we have found that it’s really hard leaving them. Since we will be on the road all the time, we decided to use a Web Site to share the exciting places and people we find while we travel. We will update our page at least monthly, reviewing what we’ve done and listing our future plans. As we dance around the US (and the world), we’ll provide an update of dances we learn and report on festivals that we attend and our own upcoming events. 

Read all about us on our downloadable brochure!

 

Come back again soon! 

Happy 4th of July - I made a new Slideshow!!  Enjoy!

News News News!!  A good friend of ours, Dave Wilson has decided to start calling in Mesa for the winter!!  He runs a Square and Round Dance Resort in Sweden during the summer.  He will be calling A2 - C3 and you can look at his schedule at  http://squaredancing.net/schedule/caller_detail.php?people_id=22.  He's lots of fun and his significant other, Alex, is a sweetie.  George will be cueing for his A2 dance on Friday nights at Las Palmas.  Work up your schedules to come and join us!!

Summer is here!!  Hope to see you all somewhere during our road trip!

 

                                        

Our cruise on the Celebrity Solstice was fantastic!  Weather was fine (a little rough water enroute to San Juan, but other than that it was smooth sailing!!) and we got plenty of relaxation, snorkeling, and a Segway on the beach!  We spent 4 lovely days checking out the Everglades (alligators, American crocodiles, & soooooo many birds!!!) and Biscayne (even saw a manatee!!!!)National Parks!  Then on to Disney World, Kennedy Space Center & Busch Gardens.  Can't imagine how we saw sooooo very much and rode soooooo many roller coasters in so little time!  Then 3 glorious days dancing and teaching.  Liz & Jeff Weiler were perfect travel partners!  I've loaded just a few pictures on the Photo Gallery page.  Check out Webshots for all the rest of the pictures!   Newsflash - we get to continue working with Curt & Tammy at New Year's Eve as an annual event!!!  Yippee!!
