Planning again, but shorter and sooner: May three-weeker
As some blocks of activities and obligations shift around on our Spring calendar, we’re seeing the possibility of a three-ish-week Airstream trip in May, and since I love to trip-plan, here I am to type up some ideas. Alas, we don’t have enough time to go all the way to Wind Cave. I had so…

Trip planning: an excuse to go to the Rockies?
My sister gave me a super cute water bottle for my birthday, with spaces to stick pretty stickers for each national park you’ve visited. I happily decorated the bottle with 44 stickers and only later realized I made a mistake: I stuck on the Wind Cave sticker instead of Mammoth Cave. AARRRGH!!! So now we…

Carolinas in November: Retrospective
In November 2024, we made a big loop down the South Carolina coast and back up through central SC and into the NC mountains. We had a ton of fun, ate and drank and played a lot, saw nature and art and history, and would love to do a variation on this trip again in…

Trip planning: Fall quickie to the mountains
Based on this planning post we ended up going to Asheville and Black Mountain in November 2023. It was a pretty good excuse for a little Airstream trip: My sister was having a big Thanksgiving gathering at her house in central NC, so obviously we should take our trailer and tack on a few days…

Trip planning recommendations: DC-area to Yellowstone
Hi strangers! Long time, not much posting. We’re just coming out of the doldrums of summer here in VA, sweating and dreaming about our next big Airstream trip coming up in December. In the meantime, I wanted to write up some advice we gave a very special someone earlier this summer when she asked for…

Trip planning: Five days in the WV/VA/TN mountains
[EDIT: See end of this post to find out where we ended up going!] Our Airstream has been sadly sitting all alone since we brought it home from the repair shop after our last trip in the spring to the mountains of WV and NC. We had to get the leaky hot water heater and…

Trip planning: Spring quickie to the mountains
We went on this little trip in April 2023. This post has been edited to include where we actually went! We haven’t had the Airstream out since November (despite only finishing the Big Trip #4 posts just a few weeks ago–it took us a while to write everything up!), and we’re itching to hit the…
