An advantage of having a cat rule your life instead of a dog, is the we don’t use the euphemism of ‘lets go for a walk’ to really mean ‘I need to pee or poop all over things’. We cats are much more civilized. We do our business in a box full of sand and […]

You Deserve More than a 1-Week Vacation
The very first time I planned a 10-day semi-vacation away from my home office, my business partner just about flipped out. ‘No one takes 10-day vacations! I’ve never taken more than a week at a time!’ That was back in 2002, I was in my late 20s and I was off to the big island of […]
The Alaska 2015 Adventure Wrap-Up
We’re back from our amazing 7-week adventure to and from Alaska by rail, cruise, boats, buses, raft, dog sled (kinda), RVs (not ours) and plane. Not that 16 minutes can fully tell the tales of 7 weeks, but we’ve put together some video highlights to share a slice of the breathtaking beauty of Alaska. It includes video […]
Tesla’s Lithium Powerwall – Awesome, But Not For RVs
Oct 31, 2016 Update: Telsa just recently announced the Powerwall 2, and we’ve started getting questions on it too. Here’s our take on it: From an RVers perspective, I don’t see any practical difference between the PowerWall 1 and PowerWall 2. The big change with the PowerWall 2 is that the inverter is integrated and not […]
Phase 8 – Alaskan 2015 Adventure: Storybrooke, Vancouver & Seattle
Alas, we have come to the final chapter in this mini break from RVing – our summer 2015 Alaskan adventure. And what an adventure it’s been! On our way to Alaska we had way too short of visits in Seattle and Vancouver, so with the bus projects not looking likely to be finished early – we were […]

How We Added 5 Feet to Our RV – Without Adding Slides
In our continuing catch-up of last summer’s bus renovations, today I wanted to share about something that took us by surprise. Now to start, we didn’t secretly stretch our RV by 5′ during the renovations. But we did end up with 5 addition feet of usable living space. And that my friends, is HUGE. We’re often […]
A Quiet Intermission in St. Louis
First of all, I am so humbled by all of the amazing comments and shared stories on my introspective post over the weekend about giving yourself permission to live life on your terms. It’s always a bit vulnerable feeling to open up like that, and I’m so glad I did. So thank you for that. […]
Commencing Operation Decompression
The Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. We came, we saw, we conquered. It’s been our major pin in the calendar for quite a while. After routing our spring to get from the desert Southwest to Elkhart, an amazing summer in Alaska, returning to the chaos of the bus renovations not being done, spending a month onsite pushing to get […]
Phase 1 – Alaskan 2015 Adventure: Amtrak Train Travel from St. Louis to Vancouver, BC
After a hectic rush of energy to get everything ready to leave our bus behind in the hands of Master Tech RV in Elkhart, IN – we had one final night of rest in our own bed. Saturday morning, May 30, we loaded our backpacks, a bag of dirty laundry and Kiki in the Mini […]
