With family in the RDU area, I’ve spent plenty of time in the Triangle. It’s not a typical tourism destination, but if you’re passing by, plan to stay for a few days – there’s plenty to see and even more things to do in Raleigh/Durham than you might expect, and if your family caravan includes…
We arrived at Kingsport, Tennesee for a four-day stay – thus far on the trip, we’ve done mostly shorter visits, since we’re trying to get to family in Alabama before M’s birthday. The morning was quiet – some projects at the camper, and prepping for our explorations. Kingsport History Kingsport, Tennessee was established after the…
It’s 164 miles from Harpers Ferry to Natural Bridge, Virginia, just a few hours drive. We arrived easily and set up the camper, then toured the new campground. It was raining when we arrived, so I set up the awning, pulled up a chair and a glass of wine, and relaxed in the rain –…
It’s official – we are on the road again! We left just after the semester finished. Now, our 2024 trip is much shorter than the 8-month odyssey we embarked on last year – we’ll only be traveling for three and a half months, and we have two retreats in there that eat up about two…
Let’s discuss our week in San Antonio, Texas. I’m genuinely glad that bad weather forced this detour through Southern Texas – I think it was just the push we needed to relax on our Great RV Journey.

Let’s dive into the essentials of staying sharp on the road and the tools that will keep your productivity sky-high. Your Hardware Arsenal If you’re working on the road, you’re working digitally….

Originally, the land was home to the Tonkawa, Comanche, and Apache tribes, until 1730, when missionaries established three missions in the area. It quickly grew into a thriving city, becoming…
Our trip has really gotten better, so writing has been…let’s say, delayed. However, we’re catching up and getting onto a better schedule, so let’s catch up from when our trip started to turn around – Austin, Texas. I think M and I both understand the city motto “Keep Austin Weird” and we fully support it. …
I haven’t been writing on this blog like I intended, despite us setting out for our Great RV Journey 2 months ago. The fact is, the realities of RV life have been hitting us a bit harder this time. There’s been more stress, more time fixing problems, and less fun activities to write about. The…
