We are deep in the midst of a kitchen remodel this week, and we’ve been posting progress photos on our Facebook page as we go. We’ll do a post with better photos of the completed project later.
But because the remodel has involved us permanently pulling our propane powered range / oven, we’ve been [...]

We don’t plan our travels much far in advance. We like to keep our lives open to embracing serendipity – when cool things emerge as potentials, we like having the flexibility to say ‘YES!’.
This agility has led to some amazing experiences.
However it does have a financial cost.
As we often don’t know where [...]

Just a quick, rather disjointed, update.
We’re still in Florida, parked in Kissimmee. Our location is ideal – a gracious friend is letting us park on his amazing land that has full hook-ups. It is such a blessing to have a safe place to leave our home, and a place to retreat to. Without worrying [...]

I love the look on people’s faces when I tell them I’ve been no-poo for over 4 years now.

Every so often [...]

Last weekend we attended the Arcadia Bus Rally - one of the longest running bus rallies in the country, and certainly one of the largest on the east coast.
There were far more buses here than at the BCM Rally we attended back in October in Chattanooga, and much more variety. It was so [...]

We arrived yesterday to the Arcadia Bus Rally 2012, and are parked awning-to-awning with our friends, Sean & Louise of Our Odyssey. There are many many buses here, and it’s awesome.
We just found out that the rally is being live streamed:

Every year since we hit the road together, I’ve hand created a year end routing map – it’s such a fun way to reflect on the year’s adventures.
Our past maps : 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010
2011 was a year of a lot of changes for us, and trying to illustrate [...]

The park our campground was in while in Melbourne, FL was also the host of the Space Coast Lightfest. Which meant every evening we had to ride through 1.1 miles of light displays to get back home. We got to know these displays rather well.
They included all of the holiday traditional favorites…
