Enjoy The Journey – It’s Cliche’ For Good Reason
“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.” ― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness We had an amazing summer of RV travel in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) states of Washington, Oregon, and northern California, but this story isn’t about […]
One. Two. Three. It’s An Unplanned NYC Adventure!
Omne trium perfectum. A trio of Latin words to convey a simple overarching philosophy: “Everything that comes in threes is perfect”. It was early in our camping-travel life that my husband and I heard of the camping “rule of threes”. Seasoned full-time RVers often tout the benefits of this rule: “Travel no more than 300 […]
Tricks And Truths About Full-Time RV Life
When things go wrong (and they will), what are ya gonna do?!? We’ve always said full-time RV travel is our happily-chosen lifestyle, but it will not be forever. Nothing in life lasts forever, actually, so this unique living arrangement would be no different. We have been “on the road” since July 2020, and we went […]
A February Side Trip Holds Great Surprises
Sure, the big summer trips are amazing. Thousands of miles and hours upon hours of planning go into the big bucket-list-check-off kind of traveling. Sometimes, however, it is the unexpected side trip that provides beauty, entertainment and fun that you just cannot plan for. We recently did a wild thing – we bought a new […]
Montana – Not A Tourist Trap But Rather A Great Destination
Our Montana summer has been amazing, and this is my final post about our experiences there. Altogether, our month and a half in the state warranted five blog posts, each highlighting a different experience and area of the state. In case you missed them: Visiting The Last Best Place Does Not Disappoint When History Comes […]
Our Montana – The BEST Of ‘The Last Best Place’
Part III of our great Montana adventure is what has been promised by me to be the best. But the amazing adventures we had were expansive! More importantly, there were two distinct and important things that happened…so much so, that I am breaking this down into two posts. This post is all the loving, romantic […]
Montana – The Second Best Of “The Last Best Place”!
To say that Montana never ceases to amaze us would be an understatement. So don’t be disappointed by the title of this post (you will understand later why the best is still ahead!). As we continued with part two of our three segment tour of the Treasure State, we set up camp at a quiet […]
When History Comes To Life, So Does The Painful Truth Of Our Nation’s Past
Andrew’s favorite travel stop so far was in Crow Agency, Montana, which is the headquarters of the Crow Indian Reservation. As the weeks of 100 plus degrees continued, we were able to use our America the Beautiful National Parks Pass for the first time with a visit to Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument. The property’s […]
Visiting “The Last Best Place” Does Not Disappoint!
For his entire adult life, my husband Andrew has kept one bucket list location in his heart. Montana. Known to him only by reputation, the state of Montana was his representation of peace, tranquility and escape from what troubled him. He always imagined himself, his dog Jake, a log cabin, a big stack of firewood […]
Why Oh, Wyoming?! Casper and Sheridan, We May Be Back!
Stops #2 and #3 in Wyoming Life still happens when you are a full-time traveler. It is not a perpetual vacation. This leg of our summer of travel fun got hit with a little bit of “life”, smack in the middle of Wyoming. We had planned that the last two of our three stops in […]
