    Trip planning: looping out to Big Bend

    This planning post was for a trip to Big Bend in January 2018. We visited Big Bend on our three-month trip two years ago and, because we were based in Ft Davis, an hour and a half from the entrance to the park, we spent just ONE DAY in the park. One measly day! We knew…

    One day in Greenville, SC–Short Southeast Loop

    We were in Greenville in November 2017 as part of a short Southeast loop. We only had 24 hours in Greenville–lunchtime to lunchtime–but we packed a lot of activity in to that time: lots of walking, followed by snacks, beer, dinner, beer, nightcap, and BISCUITS! Campground Ivy Acres RV Park is lovely, with large pull-through sites…

  • Greenville SC – Atlanta – Savannah – Charlotte – Burlington NC–Short Southeast Loop

    Greenville SC – Atlanta – Savannah – Charlotte – Burlington NC–Short Southeast Loop

    We did this little loop in November 2017. We love Airstream trip planning! Our challenge for this latest trip: plan a loop that would include visiting family in Atlanta (overlapping with the implosion of the Georgia Dome) and visiting family in Burlington, NC (overlapping with Thanksgiving). The implosion was on the Monday of Thanksgiving week, which…

    Fish Tacos: a photo essay

    Hello! I haven’t written anything lately because after about nine months living full-time in the Airstream (which deserves its own post) we’ve moved into a regular non-wheeled house. Boring, right? We’re starting to get antsy to take the Airstream out again so hopefully I’ll have an interesting trip to report on soon. A recent email…

    One day in Unicoi and Johnson City, TN

    We visited Unicoi and Johnson City in May 2017 while full-timing in the Airstream in Virginia. We also visited Nashville on this trip. We needed a stopover to break up the drive from Nashville to Charlottesville and wanted to be able to fit in a hike, so chose to stay at Woodsmoke Campground in Unicoi,…
