    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!) (possibly subbing Babcock State Park in WV for Nashville as the TN State Fair has bumped us from our preferred campground at the Fairgrounds Nashville), but…

  • Two days in Chapel Hill / Durham / Carrboro, NC–Big Bend Loop

    Two days in Chapel Hill / Durham / Carrboro, NC–Big Bend Loop

    We visited Carrboro in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. We specifically went to the Carrboro area to see a band we love, Destroyer, whom we followed from Asheville. A lovely bonus to this stop is that my mom, sister, and nephew live nearby and could pop over for a visit!…

  • Trip planning: looping out to Big Bend

    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

    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…

  • Fish Tacos: a photo essay

    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

    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,…

  • Five days in Charleston, SC

    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…

  • Urban camping in Atlanta (visit #1)–Winter Loop to Austin

    Urban camping in Atlanta (visit #1)–Winter Loop to Austin

    We visited Atlanta in January 2017 as part of our Winter Loop to Austin. Read about our subsequent trips: visit #2, visit #3, visit #4 and 5, visit #6, and visit #7! We love it when friends let us park the Airstream at their houses, like we did in Denver and Burlington. We’re basically as close…

    We’re home: quick summary of our Winter Loop to Austin trip

    Hello from Virginia! We returned home Friday from our 3-week loop through the Southeast to Austin. If you follow Bugsy on Instagram, you already know our general itinerary: It was a great trip and I have lots to say about it, but since I tend to be slow to get the recaps out, here are a…
