Enjoy a Beach Vacation at Port St. Joe Beach
Loving our beach vacation at Port St. Joe Beach, Florida. Port St. Joe, Florida is a small town located on the Gulf of Mexico. It’s a popular destination for beach lovers, thanks to its beautiful white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and abundance of wildlife. Susan found a great, quiet, inexpensive site using HipCamp. It’s like AirBnB…
Home On The Range
We didn’t know we liked staying at Airstream-only RV parks until we had that experience. Now we’re hooked and seek them out on our road trips. The Range Vintage Trailer Resort is a bit different than any place we’ve stayed, and that difference is well worth the trip. The Range is 30 minutes south of…
RV Lessons Learned – Florida to Texas – Day 2
Our first day on the road had lots of RV lessons learned. We’d made it to our site at the Madison RV & Golf Resort late, but okay. After a quick dinner, we went to bed early and dropped right off to sleep, tired but pleased with getting through the day. We woke up cold…
RV Lessons Learned – Florida to Texas – Day 1
After the RV lessons learned from the previous day’s experiences loading our rig, we were finally hitting the road! The RV Garmin was programmed for each night’s stop, the gas tank was full, and we’d each hit the restroom one last time. RV Lesson: the map is not the territory The day’s goal was the…
How Our First Airstream-only RV Park Spoiled Us
Virginia Highland Haven, a Blue Ridge Escape In hindsight, it seems strange that we didn’t try this before. We love everything about Airstream trailers. When we find another one in an RV park, we almost always strike up a conversation and find like-minded people. But we’d never stayed at an Airstream-only RV park until we…
Living our Dream, Hitting the Road in our Airstream!
We’d dreamed of hitting the road in an Airstream for years. Sometimes we’d put the dream on the shelf as impractical. Then we’d watch a few more Youtube videos or read more blog posts, and we’d find ourselves driving by the local Airstream dealer just to check what’s on the lot. We reached a point…
A Brave New World – Biometric Check-in at the Airport
A sign at the Lufthansa gate happily informed us that this would be a biometric check-in. You need one of the newer passports that is biometric-capable. There’s an icon on the cover that identifies it. The passport has a small embedded chip that contains more info than the basic contact information printed in your passport.…
Our New RV Rig
How we found our perfect RV rig. Buying our new RV rig was kind of like answering the question, “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” When you’re buying a new RV rig or upgrading your current rig you need to match the two biggest parts — your tow vehicle and your trailer. If…

Hotel Novecento, Venice, Italy
I was drawn to the Hotel Novecento by the photos of its beautiful rooms when I searched online for lodging in Venice, Italy. While we stayed there, I was impressed by their attentive but unobtrusive service. The Italian Air Traffic Controllers called a strike the day that we were to arrive in Venice. Once our…
