Two dogs, two people, one RV. What could go wrong?
When our neighbors Dave and Robin found out we were passing near their vacation hangout in Minocqua Wisconsin, they said we’d have to stop on our way. That’s a good enough reason for us to make a short detour, even though we see them often enough at home. We dropped our jacks at Patricia Lake... Continue Reading →
There are two approaches to travel. One approach is to pack a suitcase or a backpack and suspend the rigors of everyday life for as long as your schedule/bankroll will allow. When your time and or money runs out, you return home and resume business as usual. The other is to haul your life down the... Continue Reading →
Along with our Red Dog we travel with my little Jack Russell Terrier (JRT). I adopted him in 2008 from a friend who had found him roaming the streets. They took him in and named him "Sweet Pea." They learned fairly quickly that they were not equipped for such a busy little dog. They searched for his... Continue Reading →
When I'm working on a story, at some point I turn to Ben and say "want to hear what I wrote?" This usually happens while we are on the road or just before bedtime. It helps me to read aloud, as I catch errors and notice parts that need to be reworked. He is a better editor than... Continue Reading →
I've traveled quite a lot in the past few years, and I've learned there are three ways to be Away. There is “ Away on Vacation." another is “Vacation Away" and the last I'll call “Home Away." I'm going to talk mostly about the last, but let me define previous two conditions, just so that... Continue Reading →
I've mentioned before that dogs are ubiquitous among RV travelers. To be sure you will also find cats, birds, ferrets, guinea pigs, real pigs and all manner of other critters cruising the highways with their owners, but the predominant companion animal is the canine. Traveling with a dog or any animal requires infinite patience on the part... Continue Reading →
I'd been widowed for a few years when I met him at the dog park. Long story short, he asked for my number. I gave him my email instead. I figured that was safer, because even an ax murderer could be a dog lover. I came home and had a note from him in my inbox. We... Continue Reading →
For those of you who are new to the site, after our trip last year we bought a “new-to-us” motor home in April, and spent the rest of the summer getting it road-worthy. This is the start of a two-month pilgrimage to the American Southwest. We pulled out August 24 under a milky sky. As... Continue Reading →
The motorhome search is over! We're the proud owners of a new (to us) Tiffin motorhome. It's considerably larger than our former coach, with more slides, bells and whistles and switches. My 6'3 husband now has a comfortable feeling of headroom, and there are enough drawers for all our stuff. Think Motel 6 versus Embassy... Continue Reading →
When I met her I thought her to be much older, as her face is white and the rest of her fur is red and feathery, but she is four. Her white hair developed when she was two. At first it was thought that she might have a thyroid problem, but testing cleared her health.... Continue Reading →
