Driving Home for Christmas… in the Sun!

Wednesday, den 12. December 2007

My all time favorite holiday song? Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea. Such an upbeat, evocative melody and lyrics. Conjures up images of good cheer, joy, merriment, family, and friends – always leaves me feeling warm and fuzzy!

Over the past several months, Ty and I visited many different locations in western US (and tidbit [...]

He Says, She Says: Road Trip Planning

Monday, den 19. November 2007

When we first embarked on the mobile lifestyle, a close friend of ours told us she thought Ty and I would either end up closer together than ever before… OR we’d end up killing each other. Okay, obviously not literally, but you catch the drift, eh? LOL

Mobile Lifestyle: Ultimate Freedom?

Sunday, den 11. November 2007

Many people assume those of us who RV full-time must be baby boomers with an abundance of free time. Sure, there are plenty people in this [...]

RVing: To Hook Up Or Not To Hook Up?

Thursday, den 1. November 2007

Bear Alert, World’s Biggest Tree, and Boondocking!

We’re deep in the heart of the Sequoias here. (Okay, I’m posting this from the foothills before heading back up into them thar hills!)

We spotted this little guy at the road’s edge the other day. Cute, eh? He looked so cuddly and tame. Hmm, best not to get too close though.
This is major bear land. [...]

Does RV Living Help The Environment?

Monday, den 15. October 2007

On Sunday, Ty and I drove close to 400 miles from Las Vegas to Lemon Cove, near Sequoia National Park in California in our giant 34’ motorhome, with our Honda CR-V in tow.
At a mere 8 miles to the gallon, we’re definitely consuming more gas, oil, and other resources to move from A to B.
However, [...]
