    One night in Las Vegas, NV–Tucson for Christmas trip

    We visited Las Vegas in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Where to spend a night between Death Valley and our next stop northwest of Phoenix?

    One night in Flagstaff, AZ (visit #3)–Tucson for Christmas trip

    We visited Flagstaff in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our second visit in 2018 here, and our first in 2016 here. Flagstaff is one of our favorite stops. It’s a perfect size, with a convenient campground, a walkable downtown, lots of breweries, and hiking nearby. Plus, it sits on the dreaded-but-necessary I-40…

  • One night in Albuquerque, NM–Tucson for Christmas trip

    One night in Albuquerque, NM–Tucson for Christmas trip

    We visited Albuquerque in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Continuing our speed trek west, in the morning we were back on I-40 for 4.5 hours of not-fun driving between Amarillo and Albuquerque. We’ve skipped Albuquerque on previous trips west due to its size, and our assumption that it’s too hard to get…

    We visited Amarillo in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. From Tulsa, we were back on the interstate for five hours, pushing west west west to Amarillo.

    One night in Tulsa, OK (visit #2) — Tucson for Christmas Trip

    We visited Tulsa in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our previous visit in 2022 here. From Memphis, it was a long interstate day. 5 hours 30 minutes–UGH. Tulsa is a bit of a diversion from the I-40 trek out west, but we think it’s worth it! Campground Last…

    One night in Knoxville, TN — Tucson for Christmas Trip

    We were in Knoxville in mid-December 2023, as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Our Tucson for Christmas trip has begun! We’re heading west–I’m typing this from cold, rainy Amarillo, and I hit publish in Arizona! Since we’re rushing out West as quickly as reasonably possible, we replaced our usual first stop of Asheville…

    Trip planning: Fall quickie to the mountains

    Based on this planning post we ended up going to Asheville and Black Mountain in November 2023. It was a pretty good excuse for a little Airstream trip: My sister was having a big Thanksgiving gathering at her house in central NC, so obviously we should take our trailer and tack on a few days…
