Our route for our adventures in 2008. We left Indian Harbour Beach, Florida on July 13 and ended the year in San Francisco. A total of 9120 miles traveled and 17 states visited. The Blue line represents our time with the T@b, and the Red line represents where we picked up our new Oliver Travel […]
Chapters
Conserving Water
I marvel at the existence of a female with the discipline to cope with boat style (water and waste conserving) showers, storage tank issues, limited storage space and energy conservation. A rare find. Chris received the above comment in an e-mail from someone who has been following our journey – obviously, a male. Aside from […]
Holiday Decorating
Chris and I have completed decorating for the holidays. Since we have a limited space, we got a bit creative. We’re using a vinyl cling for the wreath on the front of Orion, and – you guessed it – suction cups to attach our LED light to the exterior. Our holiday tree, stockings and other […]
Kiki helps with the Laundry
Kiki helps with Laundry, originally uploaded by Serolynne. Kiki “helped” me put away laundry. For those wondering, this drawer represents 90% of the clothing I carry with us in the trailer. The drawer goes under the bed, and can be relocated to other places if we ever convert the bed up to a table. Aside […]
Travelogue: Seattle Trip
We recently did a quick trip up to Seattle so that I could teach a training class for one of my clients. We had to get back much quicker than we were originally planning, so that we could start on our new work contract back here in San Francisco. On the way up, we of […]

Sleepless in Seattle
We have arrived in the Seattle area, and have now spent roughly 36 hours traveling full time with Kiki the Kitten. We reorganized the Jeep before departing Oregon, and made it so her new cat carrier would fit nicely (and securely) in the middle of the back seat. She and her siblings had been raised […]
Meet Kiki
Meet Kiki, one of the kittens that M and family raised from the time the litter was about a week old when their mama went missing in action. Kiki was the sweetest of the bunch and seemed to take to both Chris and I pretty quickly. She’s spending the day in the trailer with us […]
Planning Forward
So far, the only concrete plan is that the training classes I need to teach up in the Seattle area are set for December 5. So, we’ll likely leave out of the Bay Area sometime this weekend and start a leisurely meandering up that way. Anyone between San Francisco and Seattle want to meet up […]
Suction Cup Solutions
After living full time in our Oliver Travel Trailer for a few months now, I’ve come up with solutions to some of our everyday practical organizational problems with living in such a small space. Having a fiberglass interior makes the use of suction cups quite appealing. Things attach *really* well without making permanent modifications or […]
