Decongesting at Pedernales Falls State Park – Johnson City, TX

Mar 8, 2018 by Cherie Ve Ard 17 Comments

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 […]

The RV Entrepreneur Summit 2018 – Recap (#RVESummit)

Mar 1, 2018 by Cherie Ve Ard 12 Comments

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 […]

Hiding out in Texas – Getting Ready for The RV Entrepreneur Summit

Feb 21, 2018 by Cherie Ve Ard 10 Comments

When we were imaging our road trip from Florida to Texas, we had in our minds we’d be able to squeeze in several 3-4 night stops in awesome places along the way. We’d have time to chill out in wooded campsites, enjoy nature, hiking trails and get some work done too. Sometimes, the vision doesn’t […]

Traveling Through Florida – Back on the Road in the Bus

Feb 17, 2018 by Cherie Ve Ard 9 Comments

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!)

Feb 2, 2018 by Cherie Ve Ard 10 Comments

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 […]

Vacation?!? Wait, Aren’t We Always on Vacation?

Jan 14, 2018 by Cherie Ve Ard 12 Comments

Despite common opinion, full time nomads are not on a permanent vacation. Even those not working full time like ourselves. Sure, life on the road has us constantly exploring new places, and the lines between vacation and normal life get awfully blurred. But there’s probably no doubt that our own lives could not be mistaken […]

Miami the Hard Way – Boat Haul Out, Repairs & Living On the Hard

Jan 3, 2018 by Cherie Ve Ard 6 Comments

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 […]

Hurricane Irma Evacuation and Return to Marathon, FL

Nov 15, 2017 by Cherie Ve Ard 5 Comments

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

Nov 10, 2017 by Cherie Ve Ard 13 Comments

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, […]

They Say There are Two Types of Boaters… A Bump in the Water & Our First Tow

Nov 4, 2017 by Cherie Ve Ard 60 Comments

First of all, I apologize for the continual time jumping around in our posts. One moment it seems we’re leaving Ft. Myers, then we’re in the middle of a hurricane in the Keys, then we’re back in the Everglades in August, and now we’re skipping you back to present time in Miami.  We’re trying to […]
