Though we have two built in Garmin MFDs (multi-function displays which show sonar, radar, and charts) on our boat Y-Not – we have always relied on iPads as our primary chart plotters for navigation. The iPads offer a huge variety of marine apps – and these apps feature MUCH better and more frequently updated charts […]

What Mobile Internet is Best for RV Travels? Our 5 Month, 47 Stop Van Case Study
Last year we went out on a van adventure, starting in Florida to Oregon, Arizona and back again. And we recorded what RV mobile internet options we used at each stop. We’ve shared the travelogues from each segment on this blog if you want to dive into the trip details. We thought it would also […]
SKP Saguaro Co-Op RV Park in Benson, AZ – Why We Became Leaseholders
We just wrapped up our 2023/2024 winter season at our co-op lot in Benson, Arizona at SKP Saguaro. We became lifetime leaseholders at this Escapees park back in 2018, intending it to be our winter nomadic port. Since we got our lot, Benson is now where our vintage bus Zephyr lives. Usually in the free […]
Our Fitness Journey – Goal: Geeks Avoiding Being Called Couch Potatoes
Over the past many months, we’ve gotten so many compliments on how we’re looking these days. If that includes you, thank you so much! Yes indeed, we’ve both lost a good deal of weight since our highs at the start of the pandemic. It’s been a slow gradual process over the past three years, and […]
Finding Campgrounds & RV Camping with Nearby Biking Trails
Ever since we got our eBikes, we have made it a mission to seek out great biking trails. But not just any biking trail, we really love trails that are easily accessible – right from where we are staying in our van, bus or boat. We do still frequently seek out cool trails and trailheads to break up […]
Our First RV Trip to Canada – Exploring Southern Ontario, Border Crossing, Internet & Money
Can you believe that in our 16 years of full timing we have never RV’d in Canada? Yeah. We can’t either. We have however visited Canada many times by cruise ship, train and car. So this summer, we decided it was well past time we finally crossed over with an RV as well for a […]
Baring It All – Skinny Dipping at Nude RV Parks
Have you ever stayed at a nudist RV park? We recently decided it was time for us to experience one for the first time in our travels. While neither us would identify as a naturist – we actually enjoy wearing clothing too – we have always been comfortable being in clothing optional situations. And it’s […]
15 Years of Technomadia: 15 Lessons – A Cacophony of Memories
15 years.. just.. wow. I can hardly believe that is how long it’s been since I pulled out of the driveway of my comfortable beachside home in a super tiny T@b travel trailer with this guy I had met on a Prius forum. We registered the domain name of Technomadia.com just days before we headed […]
A Nomadic Fleet: Vintage Bus, Camper Van and Boat
As we approach our 16th year on the road, it seems we have built a nomadic fleet. And we’ve received a lot of questions on how it’s working out to manage a boat, a van and a bus. The quick answer – far better than we ever imagined. Before we left Zephyr behind in Arizona […]
Happy 5th Birthday, Y-Not! Boat Project Updates – Flooring, Composting Toilet & More
This week marks five years since we took ownership of Y-Not, our 1999 Bayliner 4788. Crazy how time flies! And what an incredible journey into the cruising lifestyle it has been! It’s been a few years since we’ve done a major update on boat improvements, projects and modifications we’ve done – so we thought this […]
