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…

Three nights in Hilton Head, SC–Carolinas in November trip
We visited Hilton Head in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. From Beaufort, we drove less than an hour down to the next Sea Island to the south, Hilton Head. We weren’t sure what to expect there: ritzy resorts mixed with laidback locals’ joints? Ubiquitous tennis and golf culture? Beautiful beaches…

One night in Charleston, SC (visit #2)–Carolinas in November trip
We visited Charleston in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. Read about our first trip in 2017 here. This visit was very different from the first time we took the Airstream to Charleston in 2017! Then we focused on touristy stuff in the historic district; this trip we didn’t much feel…

Two nights in Edisto Beach, SC–Carolinas in November trip
We visited Edisto Beach in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. From Georgetown, we drove a couple hours south to Edisto Beach, chosen for its old-school beach town feel, its scenic state park campground, and the dog-friendly beach itself. Our savvy Atlanta cousin gave us an important tip when we told…

Trip planning: the Carolinas in November
[UPDATE! Here’s what we ended up doing!] Hello! We have a quiet summer Airstream-wise and are itching to get out on the road! To scratch that itch, we’re starting to plan our next Airstream adventure in November. We have two weeks between plans in Southern Pines, NC and Burlington, NC, so that seems like a…

Two nights in Oceanside, CA–Big Trip #4
We visited Oceanside in late October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. When we first started planning Big Trip #4, it looked quite different from what it became: our original plan sent us east after Crater Lake and south through the Rockies. That would have been an incredible itinerary, but what we ended up…

One night in Huntington Beach, CA–Big Trip #4
We visited Huntington Beach in late October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Huntington Beach was a last-minute addition to our itinerary, added when we learned our friend Sara from VA was going to be in the next town on business. We lucked into a sweet campsite and had a great time in town,…

Two nights in Ventura, CA–Big Trip #4
We visited Ventura in late October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Ventura was really only on our radar because friends had lived there until a few years ago, and they adored it, and they are cool people, so we should like it, right? Right! We loved it. Ventura’s a surprisingly quiet surf town…

One night in Big Sur, CA–Big Trip #4
We were in Big Sur in mid-October, 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. The Marina–Santa Cruz-Big Sur-San Luis Obispo portion of the trip is a little hectic because we had to shuffle some planned stops due to a work obligation that came up for J. The chaos worked out great for us, though, because…

Two nights in Santa Cruz, CA–Big Trip #4
We were in Santa Cruz in mid-October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. We made it to the California coast! Our original itinerary had us staying in Monterey at Monterey County Fair RV Park, but they scheduled an event overtop of our stay and canceled everyone’s reservations. Nice. So we reevaluated and decided that…
