Life on the Road

The End of an Era

Sep 19, 2012 by Cherie Ve Ard 10 Comments

We awoke early this morning (well, if you count 7am as early, we do) along Cocoa Beach.  We’re parked next to our friends Sean & Louise of OurOdyssey. Two and a half years ago we met for the first time in nearby Titusville to watch the last night launch of Space Shuttle Endeavor. This morning, […]

Our Secret Summer Mission – Operation: Dip Toes

Sep 17, 2012 by Cherie Ve Ard 14 Comments

This past summer we’ve been on a secret mission, and we’d like to share it with you. Just a fair warning.. the rest of this post is a bit more sentimental than we generally share in this space. The Secret Plan Last spring my father had received some extraordinarily good news regarding his cancer treatments. […]

A Year On Lithium

Sep 10, 2012 by Chris Dunphy 93 Comments

Has it been a year already? When we bought our bus last summer it had no house battery bank or inverter installed – critical features of utmost importance for two Technomads who depend on ample electricity for both our work and social lives. We knew this was an area we needed to immediately address if […]

A Full Time RVer’s Perspective on Fuel Costs

Sep 4, 2012 by Cherie Ve Ard 28 Comments

This article was originally published in 2012. We have a more current version available, also now reflecting our boating fuel costs: Pouring Rent Into the Tank: A Perspective on Fuel Costs for Full Time RVers and Boaters One of the first objections naysayers have about a full time RVing lifestyle is fuel costs, and how […]

Ohio to Chattanooga – Bus Rallies and Bus Maintenance

Aug 31, 2012 by Cherie Ve Ard 6 Comments

After leaving Michigan we took a slow meander on our own to the next bus rally in Ohio. Dayton, OH While it wasn’t the most direct route to New Paris, OH – we wanted to stop at the USAF Museum in Dayton. So we got an early start from Sterling State Park just north of […]

The Cat Who Walks Through Walls

Aug 24, 2012 by Kiki 14 Comments

Hi everyone.. Kiki here. You know all those bus projects my people keep talking about? Notice how few of them are for CATS??  They keep doing things like adding a new refrigerator, a dual desk, new floors and cabling conduits. Oh come on…yawn… borning.. it’s all for people! Everything should be about the cat! Last […]

Wrapping up Michigan

Aug 22, 2012 by Cherie Ve Ard 4 Comments

When last we checked in, we had just finished up touring the Upper Peninsula and Western Shore of Michigan. All and all, both were fabulous experiences with relative social isolation.  As much as we love visiting friends and making new ones, we just sometimes need a break to be out on our own. Us introverts […]

Living in the Perfect Spot

Aug 20, 2012 by Cherie Ve Ard 14 Comments

A lot full time travelers seem to have a ‘thing’. Perhaps it’s a goal to visit all 50 states. To visit breweries. Sampling local foods. Exploring roadside attractions. Visiting all of the national parks.  Attending festivals. Volunteering. Living frugally. Capturing amazing photos. We’ve never really had a stated mission or a goal in our travels… […]

Tourist Mode.. Off.

Aug 17, 2012 by Cherie Ve Ard 7 Comments

We’re always varying up the pace and style of our travel. Some weeks it’s more focused on work or being in one location. Other times roaming while in between set destinations. For the past two weeks we’ve been in more of a tourist, roam and explore mode. And after completing several months of intensive work […]
