June 2019 – Northern BC & The Yukon Territory – Alaska Part 3
Continuing our trek northward our next stop brought us to St. George, BC. St George is the biggest city we had seen for sometime and although the weather wasn’t great while visiting the area we managed to stock up on provisions at a Costco in town. The only challenge was Costco’s in Canada don’t accept […]
May 2019 – Alaska Part 1 – Heading North – The West Coast…
Well May 3rd finally arrived and we departed the Coachella Valley and began our 4 month round trip Alaska Adventure this day. We have been dreaming and planning about this trip for years and are both very excited to begin this adventure. A trip to Alaska is on many peoples bucket list and most experience […]
March/April 2019 – Enjoying the Coachella Valley
With knee surgery completed and much of our time in the desert dedicated to rehab, we spent the balance of our time enjoying family and our time at Desert Shadows RV Resort… A few of Joanne’s favorite pass times while being here have been enjoying: Some of the wildlife around our campsite including: A nesting […]
February 2019 – Rest, Resort Living, Rehab…
So the plans in January were aggressive though we accomplished what we had intended. Arriving at Desert Shadows RV Resort on Friday February 1st defintely worked out, and after setting up, getting laundry done, and then packing we departed first thing Saturday morning for Long Beach, CA where we would board the Ruby Princess for […]
January 2019 – Go West…
We all have heard that saying -“Go West Young Man…” though I guess we didn’t take it to heart until we retired this year. Part of our retirement travel plans for 2019 have us spending the months of Feb.- April in Palm Desert, CA close to my Mom, sisters and in the great weather of […]
January 2019 – RV Upgrades, Modifications, Improvements, and fixes…
With the start of 2019 and before our departure from Florida we had several maintenance, service items, and upgrades to complete… (This is an understatement once you see this list…) Drivability/Handling: Since buying our 2017 Newmar Baystar I have been on a mission to improve the handling and drivability of our Coach. Gas Rv’s, on […]
November/December 2018 – Spending time in our Domicile State…
With our arrival at the Oscar Scherer State Park in Osprey, Florida we were excited to slow down and be stationary for the Holiday months of November/December. We were told we needed to set-up on Site 54 for the first few days and then could relocate to site 75 if we wanted to. While site […]
October 2018 – Circling back and heading SOUTH…
Our last stop in New Hampshire, before crossing the border into Massachusetts and Southern New England, was at the Apple Store in Nashua, NH. Because Joanne was in need of a technology upgrade of her iPad it made sense to do it here because of the obvious sales tax savings. We have been upgrading her […]
September 2018 – Traveling as a Full-Time RVer…
With the Summer Camp-hosing responsibilities now behind us and this being the first time we have entered a Fall/ September month where Joanne hasn’t headed off to teach another year or Mike starting his Fall busy photography season, we were free the first time in our adults lives, to go anywhere we wanted in our […]
Summer 2018 – 2 months on the DelMarVa Peninsula – Camp Hosting…
Well summer 2018 looked to be the longest time we have ever spent at the beach. Joanne has talked about living at the beach as long as I can remember. Having visited Assateague State Park for nearly 40 years with family reunions, she always wanted to stay longer if possible. Several years ago we extended […]
