No matter how you look at it, healthcare, and specifically health insurance, is a headache. The US healthcare system, for all of its advancements, is painfully expensive and a complicated mess. This is an update to our previous healthcare chapter to integrate in the added challenges and benefits of the Affordable Care Act (ACA – […]

Desert Bus Driving
We’ve spent the past week driving across the deserts of southern California, Arizona and New Mexico – appropriate as the Desert Bus for Hope fundraising campaign has been going on this past week. We’ve been able to knock out a substantial number of miles off our cross country repositioning and we’ve kept incredibly busy. Quartzsite, […]
Millenicom’s Ridiculously Awesome iPad Mini Deal
Our favorite mobile data reseller Millenicom suffered a big black eye recently, when Sprint suddenly canceled the upstream gateway arrangement that enabled Millenicom’s “Unlimited” plan. Many former customers are still left without service, as their device’s ESNs have not yet been unlocked for re-activation on other services – a hugely frustrating situation for Millenicom and customers […]
Meanwhile, at a Yacht Club in the Desert…
We follow serendipity. It’s our guiding light. And Monday it was on in full force. While our location indicator on our blog was set to showing us in Phoenix already, we were actually still parked in Desert Hot Springs lamenting saying ‘until next time’ to Nina & Paul. We were about to make way to […]
Get Thee To a Spa!
Two of my favorite things about RVing are: In addition to our location changing constantly, we get to mix up the types of places we stay at. Meeting and connecting with amazing people. And thankfully, we constantly get to bask in the glow of these awesome side effects of a RVing life. Our next segment […]
Meet my new Friend!
I was way too busy at Cape Blanco to blog. That place is a cat’s dream come true. As soon as we pulled in a shrew literally landed in my mouth! And the fun never stopped. Bunny rabbits, mices, birds and more all came to visit me! Lots of grass and bushes to play in. […]
Winning the Storage War!
Storage units are like security blankets for baby nomads. So many of us head out on the road with the core bits of our former stationary life crammed into a big “climate controlled” box somewhere, ready and waiting just in case nomadic life doesn’t work out. For others, it is more about punting – putting […]
Ramblings: Tales from Nomads – Breaking Up With Normal
Meet Brenda & Karin A random idea around the pool lead to Brenda & Karin starting to downsize their lives to full time RV so they could see their family more often. In December 2012, after 2.5 years of planning, they hit the road. We caught up with them 2 months later for this video […]
Millenicom & Sprint Break Up, Gets Back Together, Then Breaks Up Again
For those following mobile internet options, it’s been a head spinning bad teenage romance novel this past week. Millenicom Unlimited customers, who’s plans were on the Sprint footprint, were served a cold dish on October 18th: Sprint has discontinued service to our gateway provider, unfortunately that means we can no longer provide the Unlimited or […]
Cedar Key – Here we Come!
Once we get through the storage unit purge this week, we’ll be starting a cross country repositioning with a destination of Cedar Key, Florida by Christmas! Yup, we’re returning to our waterfront spot in that chill place of gorgeous sunsets. And yes, yet again, there’ll be a bit of a convergence of fellow full timing […]
