With the desert heating up, it was time for us to bid farewell to our children and start our journey north toward Idaho. I had spent the last month perusing the atlas to see which route we wanted to take. It didn’t take long to figure out where I wanted our…

Continue reading →: Why we winter in Phoenix
What is it about the desert southwest that has us returning year after year? It’s obvious we share our desert addiction with hundreds or more like thousands of other visitors. Each winter season, droves of people migrate to Phoenix and the surrounding area to escape the cold and snow. Some folks come for a long weekend…

A few weeks ago I purchased a new laptop, and like any new toy, I was having a splendid time playing with it. The first week was filled with a lot of Goggling “how to”. The second week I settled into navigating Windows 10 with ease and personalizing the new laptop. I downloaded a…

I’ve always enjoyed walking, but I didn’t develop an interest in hiking until a road trip my daughter and I took back in 2007 to the Black Hills in South Dakota. I’m not sure what possessed me to agree to the almost four hour round trip hike with a 2,000 foot elevation…

When we hit the road in the RV full-time almost three years ago, we weren’t sure what to expect or if we’d have any regrets. Considering we sold the house and moved into the RV on a whim and all within ninety days of deciding to do so, one can’t help…

Continue reading →: Flexibility is key
I’ve discovered that there’s a major difference between going on vacation versus living a mobile lifestyle. A vacation has a definitive beginning and ending with very little to no flexibility. A mobile lifestyle offers oodles of flexibility. As a matter of fact, flexibility is key to enjoying this full-time RVing lifestyle. After…

Continue reading →: That’s a wrap!
There’s a major upside to returning to familiar territory. I think we can all relate; we go on vacation to some new and exciting place and have such a wonderful time that we can’t wait to return again and again and again. And although that may mean we’re not exploring other exciting destinations, that…
