After the RV Entrepreneur Summit, we knew we’d be tired – big events always wear us out. So we planned ahead and had booked an extended stay at nearby Pedernales Falls State Parks, and didn’t let anyone know where we were headed. We were intending some quality decompression time to catch up on work, sleep […]
Life on the Road
The RV Entrepreneur Summit 2018 – Recap (#RVESummit)
We just wrapped up an amazing time at The RV Entrepreneur Summit in Fredericksburg, TX – held at Jellystone RV Park (awesome park!). This conference is founded and hosted by Heath & Alyssa Padgett, who also produce an awesome podcast interviewing working on the road RVers. This is the second year for the summit with […]
Traveling Through Florida – Back on the Road in the Bus
The time and the miles are flying by as we’ve made our way to Texas. But first, let’s get you caught up on the first part of the trip. Last we left you, we had just gotten the bus out of storage in Melbourne and hit the road. First Stop: Silver Springs State Park We […]
Getting Ready to Get Back on the Road (and The Mobile Internet Handbook Launch!)
For the past couple of weeks we’ve been in transition from our boating season back to returning to the bus for a bit. After the holidays with family we actually brought our Mini Cooper back to Miami to make this next phase a lot easier. Before leaving the area, we arranged some social visits with […]
Miami the Hard Way – Boat Haul Out, Repairs & Living On the Hard
In our last Great Loop travel journal we had just hit a submerged channel marker leaving the Keys and were starting our 25 mile tow to Miami. This chapter will wrap up our first cruising season, but there’s not much cruising to share – it was mostly of us living on land in our boat […]
A Challenging Departure from The Keys – A Tropical Storm & A Bump in the Water
When we last left our Great Loop travel journal, we had just left Marathon after Hurricane Irma and found a protected anchorage in Plantation Key to ride out the season’s first cold front. Now, another tropical system was brewing and on course to pass right over the Keys. We decide to seek out a sheltered […]
Saying Good-Bye to Marathon – In Search of a Protected Anchorage
We’re almost caught up! This post takes us back to Marathon post-Irma, leaving our new community and continuing the journey. Just one more episode (I think) and the travelogue will be almost real time again. Whew! Thanks for your patience with the constant shift in time line. When we last left our Great Loop travel […]
Preparing a Boat for a Catastrophic Hurricane – Hurricane Irma in the Florida Keys (And Happy end of Hurricane Season!)
First of all… a big ole WAHOOOOO for it being December 1st! The 2017 Hurricane season is officially over. And while the season is over, many are still dealing with the fallout of the major storms that made landfall. Power is still not returned to the majority of the islands impacted, people are still homeless […]
Hurricane Irma Evacuation and Return to Marathon, FL
This episode was difficult to create. It brought up so many emotions, especially with ongoing devastation from Hurricane Irma still being dealt with by many. It was a tough to go back and see ourselves processing the difficult decision of leaving our boat behind for a potential direct Category 5 strike. During this time period, […]
Arriving to the Keys – Pre-Irma Marathon
Ok.. time warp time again, this time taking you back to mid-August and our arrival to the Keys, and our time there before Hurricane Irma! I promise you, we’re working to get the travelogue caught up to real time! Thanks for hanging out with us! When we last ended our Great Loop travel journal entry, […]
