Liquor Bottle Huggers - crafty

When you are moving the last thing you want to hear is clinking in the cupboards.   Between the two of us we are forever asking each other "what is that noise?"  So one thing to improve this was a little project I finished recently for the Liquor Bottles.   I crocheted bottle huggers to fit exactly each one we have.  My husband thinks it is funny cause now we have to take these to the store with us when we need to replenish.  Silly it doesn't mean we can only buy ones the Huggers fit!!!!

Trip Summary East Coast of Canada

Miles on Coach 3,464  our girl is from the US so she does miles not kilometers.  Oh and the bike is from the US too.
Our longest day was 410 miles and our shortest was 82.
Miles on the Motorcycle touring  3,184 - almost as many as we did in the motor home.  Can you believe that? 
Weather was sensational - not too hot, and cool at night. Perfect for summer traveling and sleeping.  Only had 5 rain days mixed in the entire time.
Nights camping 44, had time left to go to Maine but decided we did not want to fuss with the border crossing and questions about our amount of liquor on board, vegetables, fruits and meat.  So that will have to be another trip.  (yeah)
No extra health insurance costs needed since we did not exceed our 60 day available coverage.   Just  need to be aware that OHIP means Ontario and if you leave make sure you have coverage.
Cost per night to camp $47.72, got a few free nights if we stayed 1 week in a spot.  On the ocean we paid as high as $74 a night + you had to pay another 50 cents to use their shower!!!  Billy was determined he was using all their amenities for that price and he came back and laughed about the shower.....
Diesel Fuel $1869 , price per gallon was .81 more than we paid through the winter in the U.S.   The cost per litre ranged from as low as 1.13 and as high as 1.31.  Definitely more in the East Coast than Ontario. 
We had a budget of $5000 and not including our groceries we hit $5272.  Maybe food was a bit more out there but we figure we buy food whether we are on the road or sitting in one spot so we don't add it into the mix.
