One night in Pensacola Beach, FL–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Pensacola Beach in February 2021 during our Winter Warmth trip. We left New Orleans heading toward Eastpoint, FL with a one-night gap in our itinerary to fill. Pensacola is about halfway between the two towns, and there’s an RV campground at Pensacola Beach that looked promising and had an available site. We…

One night in Ocean Springs, MS–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Ocean Springs in January 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. We left Atlanta and headed west, stopping for a night in Ocean Springs, MS, a posh and bustling little beach town full of eating and drinking establishments. It’s a quainter alternative to larger Biloxi across the bay. The main commercial…

Three days in Sandpoint, ID–Big Trip #3
We visited Sandpoint in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our second visit in 2022 here. This was the point in the trip where we were supposed to turn north and head for Banff, long on my travel wish list! But alas, due to stupid Covid and the US’s inept handling…

Three days in Eastpoint, FL (visit #1)–Southeast Lollipop trip
We were in Eastpoint in early January 2020 as part of our Southeast Lollipop trip. Read about our second visit in February 2021 here. From St Augustine, it was an uneventful 4.5-hour drive across the top of Florida to Eastpoint, on the so-called Forgotten Coast of Florida’s panhandle. This area feels completely different to other parts…

We were in St Augustine as part of our Southeast Lollipop trip in January 2020. Read about our second visit in 2022 here. Pretty little St Augustine is VERY touristy, especially around the holidays. Here’s the first impression I jotted down on our initial trip into downtown: “Holy hell people everywhere.” The holiday crowds were…

Trip planning: Quick Southeast lollipop in January

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…

Three days in Wilmington, NC
We visited Wilmington in February 2017 while full-timing in the Airstream in Virginia. Our trek from Central VA to Wilmington, NC went through our friends’ driveway in Virginia Beach. It’s not the most direct route, but it was the ideal one for us. Bugsy rabidly enjoyed her first true beach experience and the humans were…

Two days in Destin, FL–Winter Loop to Austin
We visited Destin in January 2017 as part of our Winter Loop to Austin trip. Destin is a bit of a sprawling beach destination, spreading from the ocean to the bay along a busy main drag, and it has many faces: partially-vacant strip malls, touristy beach bars and seafood restaurants, fancy yacht clubs and golf courses and a Whole Foods,…
