It was around 10 years ago that Chris and I were chatting online in the weeks leading up to our first in-person meeting on October 18th, 2006. During those increasingly deep initial conversations, we were coming to realize that we were attracted to each other for many reasons – and an unquenchable thirst for travel was high amongst […]
Travel Plans
Spring & Summer 2016 Coming Together (‘Plans’ Ahead)
We’re now solidly on our way east, estimating arriving in Central Florida by the end of the month. We prefer not to be planners, but we are intention setters. So I thought I’d share with you today how our intentions ahead are looking. Early April: Time with family & friends in Central Florida. The main timing influencing […]
Hot Water, Stillness & Friends – A Perfect Stay in Desert Hot Springs
It seems like it was last year when we arrived to Desert Hot Springs. Oh wait. It was! We pulled in as neighbors to our buddies Nina & Paul of WheelingIt in early December, and we set down the landing gear for at least a couple of weeks. Our return was to a favorite place […]
Kicking the Year Off – Setting Intentions
Ahh.. new years. Opportunities to reset, start anew. Like most everyone else on the planet who recognizes this particular arbitrary date on this particular calendar, we too are looking ahead. We thought we’d share some of our intentions going forward in our travels, business life and personal life (including blogging). Some might call these resolutions, […]
Planning Our Great Alaskan Adventure
We’re officially off on our Alaskan Adventure, having left St. Louis early on Wednesday morning by train. I write this while watching rolling hills in North Dakota and Montana pass us by outside our Roomette window aboard Amtrak’s Empire Builder on our way into Seattle. We’ll be blogging and sharing along the various phases of […]
Our Summer 2015 Travel Plans Revealed (Your input requested!)

And we’ve picked a path.. that is really none of those. For the past several weeks we have been putting together details of our summer travel […]
Happy First Birthday, RVillage! Celebrating in Arizona City, Picacho Peak and Escapade
It seems like it was just a year ago that we literally pressed the ‘launch’ button on unleashing RVillage to the world. Oh wait.. it WAS just a year ago this week! It’s been a crazy year since, and now RVillage has over 17,000 members who are connecting with each other and making new friends […]
Off to the Escapade! (Tucson, AZ – March 8-13)
Tomorrow morning we’ll pull into the Pima County Fairgrounds, starting our adventures at the Escapee’s 55th Annual Escapade in Tucson. Whew. It’s been some very hectic weeks for us leading up to this to prepare. So much had to get done, including getting the re-write of The Mobile Internet Handbook for 2015 completed in time to have print […]
Next Up the Oregon Coast: The Yaquina Lighthouses & Newport
Yet another delightful stay along the Oregon coast near Yachats came to an end. With the turn in weather causing more rainy and cloudy days than not – it was time to move on up the coast for our next stop. The next lighthouses are two right by each other – Yaquina Bay Lighthouse and Yaquina […]
And.. it’s a Wrap!
It’s hard to believe that the month of September flew by so quickly, and our second volunteer season as lighthouse tour guides at Cape Blanco Lighthouse has come to an end. We knew pretty early on upon arriving that a month was going to be enough for us, and that our original intention of staying on […]
