Last week, we sailed the ocean blues aboard the magnificent new Disney Fantasty cruise ship, embarking out of nearby Port Canaveral on a Western Caribbean itenirary to Grand Cayman, Costa Maya, Cozumel and Castaway Cay. Having lived near the port for many years, I’ve actually taken many cruises over the years. I think this is […]
Our Travels
Packing for Vacation
By the time you read this, we’ll actually be in the middle of the Caribbean, nearing the end of a 7-day cruise. Our first actual vacation in a long long time. Well, as close to a vacation as we come – we’ll still be working some hours via overpriced cruise ship satellite internet, as we […]
Ordinary and Reflective
I think there’s something unique about returning to your point of origination in your nomadic journey. While being still for nearly 6 weeks now has been very nourishing for our nomadic souls, it also doesn’t leave a lot of room for posting about exciting travel adventures. As predicted, our lives have become a bit more […]
Nomadic Nesting Mode.. On.
Nomadic doesn’t mean being constantly in motion. It just means being poised to be mobile. Our own desires for how much motion we’re undergoing in a time period changes often. Sometimes, we really enjoy moving around every couple of days and exploring lots of new locations. Such as our past summer. Sometimes it makes sense […]
Slow Roll into Florida
Our big goal for the summer was to arrive back to Florida in time for my dad’s birthday, to present him our Operation: Dip Toes surprise. However, serendipity and good friends intervened and made that rendezvous happen up near Savannah. Thus allowing us to take a much slower approach into Central Florida. St. Augustine Almost […]
Our Secret Summer Mission – Operation: Dip Toes
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. […]
Georgia Lingers In Our Minds
After wrapping up our bus maintenance in Chattanooga, it was time for some fun in Georgia! Atlanta We made a late night arrival to our friend’s Dale & Miri’s place nearish downtown Atlanta who we had parked our Oliver with previously. Based on our memories, we were pretty sure the bus would fit. His property […]
Ohio to Chattanooga – Bus Rallies and Bus Maintenance
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 […]
Wrapping up Michigan
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 […]
Tourist Mode.. Off.
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 […]
