We officially entered the Northeast (depending on how you define what states are included in the ‘Northeast’) back in mid-June. Our first stop then was US Coach in Vineland, New Jersey for preventative bus maintenance. We liked the shop so much, we wanted to return and get ahead on a few other issues. But first, […]
There’s Nothing Rotten About Groton
First.. thank you. Your outpouring of support for our upcoming new adventure totally blew us away. It’s always a touch scary approaching a new chapter, and announcing it is a big step. In the past, we’ve gotten mixed reactions to what seemed like departures from our course. Perhaps this led to over-explaining our decision which helped pre-empt […]
The Great Loop: What’s Next for Technomadia
It was around 10 years ago that Chris and I were chatting online in the weeks leading up to our first in-person meeting on October 18th, 2006. During those increasingly deep initial conversations, we were coming to realize that we were attracted to each other for many reasons – and an unquenchable thirst for travel was high amongst […]
Catching Up at Horseneck Beach State Reserve, Massachusetts
After reaching our 50th state of Rhode Island, we wanted to retreat somewhere we could get some work done, and have access to the Cape Cod area of Massachusetts. We had a blog reader we really wanted to meet up with, and Chris’ cousin spends his summers on Martha’s Vineyard. So we back tracked a […]
Does Visiting All 50 States Mean You’ve Seen the Country?
Some travelers keep a bucket list of items to check off – such as visiting all the national parks, visiting every state or seeing every ball of twine. We really never had a list when we set off full timing. But we did have the ambitious intentions to ‘visit most of the lower 48, Alaska and […]
Beach Life in Eastern Massachusetts – Salisbury Beach State Reserve
A few miles driven south, and then we were out of Maine – ending our way too quick visit of just over two weeks in the state. We had a few nights to play with before our next reservation down in Rhode Island – and both craving being somewhere pretty and with a minimal of […]
Two Finals Ports in Maine: Driveway Surf in Searsport & L.L Bean Overnight in Freeport
When we envisioned our summer in the northeast, we had lofty goals of spending ample time in all of the key areas and perhaps even ducking up into Canada for a few weeks. In particular, we thought we’d have plenty of time to spend a month or more in Maine. Alas, a nomad’s eyes are usually bigger […]
Amazing Acadia National Park – Schoodic Woods Campground
Last May you may recall that we took a New England & Canadian cruise, and one of the first stops was Bar Harbor. We opted at the time to not try to rush our short cruise port stop by touring Acadia National Park, as we knew we’d be up this way this summer with much […]
Quick Stop in Trenton, Maine – Narrows Too RV Resort
We had no idea what we wanted to see or do while we were in Maine, but we did know we wanted to see our friends Betsy and Nancy of RV-A-GoGo. During the winters, these two camp host in the panhandle of Florida. And for the past few summers, they’ve done the same in Maine. […]
Hanging out with Loons along China Lake, Maine
When we announced we were spending this summer up in the northeast, we put a call out for tips for places to see and invitations for driveway surfing. MaineBob, a long time Technomadia fan, and his lovely wife Lynne were amongst the generous invitations we received. And it worked out perfectly along our routing to […]
