So, one of the things that we appreciate when we are on the road is time. Time to consider the monumental events occurring in the world around us. NO, this is not another political post (I promised NO MORE of those). This…
There are GREAT people in the world…
Our travels by RV have revealed something we hoped for and suspected MIGHT exist, but which continues to surprise and delight. That is that the country (actually, the world!) is populated by mostly really great people. This despite varying political,…
2019 “Planning” (Which we try NEVER to do!)
We have some VERY FUN (and aggressive!) travel goals for 2019… [put_wpgm id=12] As we did last year, we have developed a post to let everyone know where we are pointed and approximately when. This is so we can have…

Well, Liz returned from New Jersey, and we were determined to do NOLA right. That was to begin with a visit to the WWII Museum and/or the French Quarter (weather dependent). And speaking of weather, that brings me to the…
We won’t be “Ringing out the Old…” We live in it!
Our 2018 travel season has ended with a ritual we have come to appreciate: An annual visit to our friends at Lazzari Truck Service in Daphne Alabama! You may recall from the pages of this blog that these guys took…
