Trip planning: Southwest for the late fall–Big Trip #2
This planning post was for what became Big Trip #2 in late 2018. Read the trip retrospective here! We haven’t even started our next Airstream trip (leaving next week!)

Trip planning: Asheville, Nashville, Pisgah/Nantahala…
In my opinion, trip planning is almost as exciting as trip taking! We’re starting to think about our biannual Asheville Airstreaming pilgrimage, and wondering what other explorations we can cram in while we’re out and about. Right now, we’re leaning toward a few days in Nashville in our favorite parking lot campsite, a couple days…

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…

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…

Trip planning: Asheville again!
This planning post is for a trip to Asheville in October 2017. Hello! After a stationary summer transitioning from the Airstream into our renovated house, we’re looking forward to dusting off the Airstream and hitting the road for a week next month. Our favorite quick and easy destination is Asheville, NC, for the culture, beer,…

Winter trip brainstorming, Part I
This brainstorm was for a trip in early 2017. See Part II and Part III of the brainstorm, and read about what we actually ended up doing! Because when it’s cold outside, we spend most of our time in our tiny metal tube, so we thought it would be nice to take said tube to warmer…

We’re home. Now what?
We wrote this post after returning home from Big Trip #1. We made it home to Virginia with mixed feelings: we were disappointed our big adventure had finished (for now), but we were happy to get back to our friends and our relatively incredibly spacious non-wheeled home. We have a couple Airstream trips planned for this summer,…
