In my last blog post, which was almost 3 months ago, Karen and I were getting ready to leave Florida and start our next RVing journey by heading up to Tennessee, where our RV was having roof work done on it. Our RV was ready for us when we got up there on July 18th. The roof looked great…as we had expected it to, given the significant amount of money we paid to have it Read more…
I’ll bet you’re surprised to see a blog entry from me pop-up today! I can’t believe that it’s been over 9 months since I posted my last one. Even though Karen and I consider ourselves “full-time RVers”, it is a bit difficult to make that claim when we’ve spent 3/4 of a year not being in an RV, right? Originally, we planned to spend the winter months in Florida at Emma & Robin’s apartment just Read more…
Hi all! Here is my blog post about Glacier National Park. Just a heads-up that it, too, is a somewhat longer post because of all the photos included. And, here’s a friendly reminder that you can click on the photos and, in most cases, be able to see a larger version of the photo. Karen and I left Idaho and pretty much headed straight north through Montana for a couple of days until we got Read more…
Since my last blog post was all about the wonderfulness of having family fly out and join us on vacation in a beautiful area, it seems only right that I follow up with a blog post that is about the more mundane/real aspects of RV living. Just my way to reinforce that while we may be “living a dream”, that dream has an awful lot of reality with it! My next blog post, which I’ll Read more…
Hi all! First, I just wanted to give fair warning that this is a longer blog post than usual, mostly because it has more photos in it than my typical posts. Second, for everyone that receives notification of my blog post by email, you probably noticed that the email format changed. Previously, the blog settings were set up to send you the entire blog post in the email. As I looked at some other blogs Read more…
Before I forget, I wanted to say something to those of you who have subscribed to my blog and receive the blog entries by email. First, thank you for subscribing — I know that you all have busy lives and many things compete for your reading attention, so I appreciate your willingness to spend your limited time reading about our journey! Second, I subscribe to my own blog so that I’ll receive the same email Read more…
Before I talk about our experiences at Utah’s parks, let me update those of you who read my last blog post where I left you hanging as to what happened with our RV battery/electrical issue. When we brought it to the repair shop, the guy spent a lot of time checking our batteries and had us do various things, such as revving the engine, turning on the lights, etc. According to his battery checking device, Read more…
As part of my promise to keep this blog “real” – not just an itinerary of the “cool” places we visit on our RV journey — this entry is about a couple of topics that will definitely keep you from thinking that full-time RVing is only about “living the dream”…though I’m sure many of you think it’s the furthest thing from that anyway! The first “real” topic that I wanted to talk about in this Read more…
One of the nicest aspects of our RVing journey is that our traveling plans are very flexible. Originally, our plan was to stay in New Mexico only through the end of May and then start our journey into Utah to explore the national parks in that state. However, as we were getting toward the end of the month, Karen felt that we really hadn’t given ourselves enough time to explore Santa Fe and its surrounds, Read more…
Karen and I started our first month-long stay at an RV park this month. If you read my last blog post, you might remember that the rate for staying in an RV park for a month can be significantly discounted compared to the normal daily or weekly rate, so there is some incentive to choose to stay for a month. Of course, we wouldn’t just do so anywhere…it has to be a place that will Read more…
