Lots of miles and lots of memories to catch you up on. But first, we’ve actually been back in Benson, AZ and the bus just over a month now. And before time gets away from us, I wanted to at least recap the trip getting here. Our last extensive travelogue left us just leaving New […]

Our Favorite RVing Accessories for our Travato GL Camper Van
We have now owned our 2020.5 Winnebago Travato GL almost a year, and we had a 2016 version of the model before that starting in 2019. In our years of traveling in our van for both short and extended trips (including the 3 months cross country trip we just competed), we’ve collected a bunch of […]
Boat Upgrade: Inflatable Hot Tub on a Bayliner 4788
Before we bought our boat Y-Not in 2017, we of course deeply researched the Bayliner 4788 model. And we were very intrigued when we found posts from a few owners who had added hot tubs to the flybridge successfully. We love getting in hot water – would we be able to someday add a hot […]

Two Weeks Exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway
In continuing our summer van adventure, we departed our Harvest Hosts stay in South Carolina and made our way to provision for our next adventure. We had decided to hop on the Blue Ridge Parkway and follow it north. The cooler temperatures, a slow meandering pace, scenic views and more seclusion called us. While we’ve […]
First Week Back on the Road: Exploring Georgia
It’s hard to believe two weeks ago we pulled out of Sanford, leaving our boat behind, for an extended van trip of following serendipity.

And.. We’re Off! Back to Nomadic Life and General Life Catch Up
