A Special Road Trip
Nearly 43 years ago, my dad proposed to my mom while sailing around Ledge Lighthouse near Groton, CT – where they met. My father was a submarine sailor, and my mom worked on the sub base at the credit union. My dad was smitten with her immediately and chased her for years, but she wouldn’t […]
Georgia On Our Mind and Under Our Tires
The past couple of weeks have been super busy, and combined with some WordPress attacks that brought our server to a sluggish state – we just haven’t had time to keep up. So we’re taking you back in time to catch up! On Thursday May 9, we decided the time had come to cross out […]
Derailed
So, we’re currently in Groton, Connecticut. Our bus is back near Savannah, GA parked with our dear friends Ann & Elliott – and Kiki is looking after them all. How and why are we here? For about the past week we’ve been on a very purposeful non-bus road trip. It’s been an amazing and emotional […]
New State – New Lizards!
Hi all.. Kiki here. We had been in Florida for a long time. We arrived last September, so that’s 8 months – a lifetime to a kitty! Especially when a lot of that was spent with my people out visiting my grandmeow and grandpaw, and me back at home sitting patiently in the bus […]

Oh, and there’s […]
Moving On…
On Wednesday morning, we fired up the engine and left the Melbourne area – where we’ve been parked, this time, since late February. It’s been nearly a month since my father passed away, and it just felt like the right time. Lucky Clover Mobile Home Park (our review) has served us well for over 5 months […]
Sorting, Prepping and Re-Integrating
April has been a life changing and challenging month for us. The months leading up to it were pretty darn tough and intense too. Between my father and the business turmoil up – we’ve pretty much been in high-alert crisis mode for way too long. The past few weeks have obviously been focused on everything […]

Hmm.. Maybe we do have a Pattern?
Many times we’ve been asked ‘So, do you have a pattern you follow each year?’ We always answer that we make it up as we go and don’t follow a pattern or routine. But as we prepare to get back out there on the open road this spring, I’m having a bit of dejavu. See if […]
