The Chauffeur and the Chef

April 16:  The Chauffeur and the Chef.

Meet Tim and Jan Cooper.  Jan is Mrs McLeay's sister, and we have had many adventures together over many years.  The Coopers left today for Houston, Texas.  Here they are at Kerikeri Airport.  They arrive in Houston before us so that they can get their big Motorhome ready for the American part of our journey.  Tim is a retired pilot and engineer and he will do most of the driving in the USA and Canada.  Jan is a fantastic cook,

Hence: the chauffeur and the chef.



Note:  Chauffeur and chef are examples of words starting with a digraph.  
Can you name 5 more?

Here is Margie with Jan and Tim just before the Coopers leave Kerikeri.

Here are two questions:
Tim has estimated that we will drive 3,350 miles as we travel around the USA and Canada.

• How many kilometers will this be?
• If we are travelling for 33 days, what is the average number of kilometers we have to drive each day?
