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…

Two nights in Asheville, NC (visit #17)–Carolinas in November trip
We visited Asheville in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. Read alllll of our other Asheville posts here. We were nervous and excited to return to Asheville for our first post-Helene visit. Our favorite part of town, the River Arts District, was decimated by the flooding, and many of the old warehouses…

One night in Raleigh, NC–Carolinas in November trip
We visited Raleigh in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. At long last, we’re on the road again! It feels like forever since we’ve been out Airstreaming: our last trip was a week in the mountains of North Carolina back in May. The most recent write-ups from Asheville and Black Mountain…

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 Black Mountain, NC (visit #2)–Spring in the NC Mountains trip
We visited Black Mountain in early May 2024 as part of our short Spring in the NC Mountains trip. Read about our first visit in 2023 here. Black Mountain is just a twenty-minute hop east from Asheville, and even though we could easily visit while the Airstream is parked in Asheville, we love being based…

Two nights in Franklin, NC–Spring in the NC Mountains trip
We visited Franklin in early May 2024 as part of our short Spring in the NC Mountains trip. The first destination of our six-day let’s-take-the-Airstream-somewhere-fun trip was Franklin, NC, a small town in the mountains southwest of Asheville. We hadn’t been to Franklin before, but we enjoyed a stay in nearby Sylva several years ago,…

Trip planning: Spring in the NC mountains
The Airstream just came home from the shop–you may recall from the end of our last trip that we had a nonfunctioning hot water heater bypass, damage from the exploded tire, and a missing rock guard. Everything appears to be ship shape now, so it’s time for a road trip! As we started thinking about…

One night in Asheville, NC (visit #15)–Tucson for Christmas Trip
We were in Asheville in January 2024, as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our Asheville Favorites here. Last stop for the Tucson trip! We were ready to get home and return to a more manageable eating and drinking schedule. Atlanta to Asheville is a 3.5-hour (without Atlanta traffic) interstate journey; our trip was uneventful but…

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…

One night in Blowing Rock, NC (visit #2)–Five Days in the Mountains
We visited Blowing Rock in September 2023, as part of our Five Days in the Mountains trip. Read about our first visit way back in 2016 on Big Trip #1 here, and we also popped over from Boone in May 2021 and August 2021. As a recap, by this point in our trip we’d spent…
