We went somewhere warm in February
Mostly, anyways. We also ended up in Texas during the end-times freezing temperatures and power and water outages. Other than that, it was a wonderful trip! Here’s your teaser while I start to work on the trip posts. We had extremely spotty campground internet service while traveling, which is my excuse for not posting anything…

Trip Planning: Go somewhere warm in February
Cold weather is for the birds. Especially during the pandemic when all our activities are outdoors. So why not go to a place where the outdoors is more pleasant? Here’s the plan (and here’s what we actually ended up doing): After parking the Airstream in the driveway of family in NC and GA, we’ll shoot…

Big Trip #3 Retrospective
Big Trip #3 was in Fall 2020; you should also read about Big Trip #1 in 2016, Big Trip #2 in 2018, and Big Trip #4 in 2022! This trip was a little weird. Wildfires altered our route: our initial trip plans included Oregon and California, but after experiencing the smoke in Montana, we rerouted.…

Big Trip #3 Catch-up #3
We’re home! I’m going to get all the posts up eventually–my computer is only working intermittently, so I have a new excuse for being slow to post–but wanted to catch you up on our last several stops as we popped around Colorado and then hopped back across the country toward home. (Here are catch-up #1…

Big Trip #3 Catch-up #2
I’m not doing a very good job keeping you all (Uncle Jim, I think it’s only you at this point) updated on our travels, am I? We’re packing so much into our days that I’m not super motivated to write posts at night, but don’t worry, I’m taking notes about our adventures and slowly working…

Big Trip #3 Catch-up #1
Yes, I’m behind posting about Big Trip #3, and I’m just going to get slower because we’re into the good hiking territory now and that’s pretty much all we’re doing. And drinking beer. So in an attempt to keep you caught up if you’re following along in real time, here’s where we’ve been so far,…

AirstreamDog trip maps
Ahoy! With travel paused for the foreseeable future due to Covid-19, I’m spending my trip-dreaming time cleaning up old posts and better organizing the blog. One item on my AirstreamDog wishlist has been adding layers to our AirstreamDog Places map breaking out the itineraries for each of our bigger multi-destination trips. I think it’s helpful…

Trip planning: the Smokies in the Spring
Expecting to travel this Spring with the current COVID-19 situation may be wishful thinking, but what better way to distract myself from the news than by dreaming about adventures? Before all this pandemic crap we were going to go to Great Smoky Mountains National Park in April. Hopefully even though we can’t go this Spring,…

Trip planning: Quick Southeast lollipop in January
This planning post was for a trip down through the Southeast to New Orleans in January 2020. Needing to be in Atlanta in January is a good excuse to un-winterize the Airstream and spend a couple weeks in warmer climes. Here’s what we’re thinking for maximizing sunshine, nature, food, and drink: As you know if…
