Five days in Charleston, SC
We visited Charleston in March 2017 while full-timing in the Airstream in Virginia. Charleston is a beautiful and interesting city, full of history, culture, and great food and beer, and we look forward to a return visit… but without our tin can house so we can stay in town! As is the case with campgrounds in…

Three days in Wilmington, NC
We visited Wilmington in February 2017 while full-timing in the Airstream in Virginia. Our trek from Central VA to Wilmington, NC went through our friends’ driveway in Virginia Beach.

Two days in Destin, FL–Winter Loop to Austin
We visited Destin in January 2017 as part of our Winter Loop to Austin trip.

A while ago I wrote about the fabulous job our excellent new dehumidifier has been doing to keep our tin can home dry all winter while we three creatures are doing a lot of indoor exhalation. Its co-MVP for Airstream winter comfort is… drumroll… a Vornado space heater! [Update: our Vornado has since conked out and been…
