Two dogs, two people, one RV. What could go wrong?
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 →
We're tooling down the highway on the trek back to Ohio, in the slow lane. We prefer seondary roads so when we're on two-lane highways we pull over when we can to let others with busy-ness on their minds roar by. I used to hate the idea of following some big camper rigged with bicycles and towing... Continue Reading →
Interstate highways are fine if you're in a hurry. Otherwise, they are boring and filled with truckers with bad attitudes. We were in a traffic Jam on the Mass Thruway near Boston, where mean aggressive drivers are legendary. We overheard this exchange on our CB Radio: "What's the holdup on southbound?" "Same old shit, nothing... Continue Reading →
In Ohio, August is all about hot dusty days and unrelenting humidity. In Canada, this particular August has not displayed the kind of heat I am used to. The days have been sunny and clear, with a brisk wind that is a breath of autumn to come. We have been on Prince Edward Island (PEI)... 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 →
UPDATE July 2020: I was reviewing this post from 2015 and found that Steve's website is no more. Here is a 2006 article about his rig, from the website of RV Business: Man Powers RV with Used Fast Food Oil A powerful smell of french fries accompanied the big rig that pulled in beside us....

We're off to our usual slow start. There's something about our departure process that impedes our ability to make a clean getaway. We had agreed that we'd get underway at 9 AM. First we had breakfast and a detour after that to Tim Horton's for Ben's ritual travel snack of coffee and Tim Bits, which... Continue Reading →
Between RV jaunts, I traveled to New Orleans (NOLA) for a national conference for sign language interpreters. You might think this would be a quiet event, but not so. I may tell you about that someday in another post. This is about transition and change. My first visit to NOLA was in 1995, also in... Continue Reading →
To make a long story short, we had to leave our Florida campsite abruptly. There was a misunderstanding about our reservation, and we were told we'd have to leave a day before Ben had anticipated. We found ourselves on the road at 1:30 in the afternoon, with no plans other than to drive north. I... Continue Reading →
The area the local tourism board calls "the forgotten coast" truly has a small town vibe. Most so-called small towns are squashed between Target, Lowe's, Home Depot and Wal-Mart. Here there is none of that. There is a Subway and a Burger King in Apalachicola, but that's it for the chain restaurants, and there are... Continue Reading →
