RV and other travels around the World
We set off on this RV Journey with many unknowns, although we knew that to take a bold step into a great retirement that we would have to get out of our comfort zones. In many different ways. Continue reading “Budget and Other Updates”

RV traveling can be a complex business with the complicated modern coaches to the trip planning research that is required. Being a full time RV traveler makes things even more interesting. Fortunately, there are many resources on the internet available to assist almost every aspect of the RV life.
One of the resources are the many people who have been doing this for a long time. We had the great fortune to meet another RV blogger (LINK: warnerrvnews.blogspot.com) who has been a full-timer since 2009. Randy and Pam Warner were staying in a campground just a few miles north of us, so I reached out and asked if they would like to meet somewhere during their stay.

As we go to a new location, we try to ask as many locals as we can about favorite places and things to do. Just by researching the internet including Trip Advisor and others, we would miss many of the local’s gems. People all have different opinions, so it is great to obtain a good cross section of folk’s ideas. Continue reading “Locals Are a Wealth of Information”

Here is our newly updated travel plan for the summer, fall, and winter. We plan to travel up to the northeast (Maine) and perhaps a few days into Canada. Then we start making our way back south stopping in Virginia for a few weeks for a wedding and to see family. Continue reading “OurEpicRVJourney Travel Plans; June 2018 to March 2019”
We had reserved a great campsite at Claytor Lake State Park that is near to our old home town of Christiansburg, Virginia. We booked this site for the maximum time of two weeks to allow us time to complete all of our annual health checkups plus some vehicle maintenance.
This leg of our travels was about 400 miles over two days of driving. This is a bit longer than we really like to drive, but needed to get to our Virginia location for some appointments.
We also had an unexpected brake failure with the 5th wheel coach while traveling in the steep mountains from the Cincinnati area to a one night stopover in Huntington, West Virginia! Yikes!!! Continue reading “Southwest Virginia; Family, Friends, Many Appointments, and a Brake Failure! Yikes!”
We are seriously northbound now, having arrived in Asheville, North Carolina yesterday. Our travel timing was based on being in Maine during August to enjoy the cooler summer and to try to stay in the 70 degree weather line as we moved north. Well, we may be a few weeks ahead of the curve since the local weather forecast in this mountain region is calling for cold and some snow on Saturday! Wow!

He is risen! He is risen indeed!!
We hope you have a great Easter, are able to attend an Easter Sunday church service and can to spend time with family. We will be traveling today, unfortunately, to meet a Monday appointment.
Our month-long stay at the Orchid Lake RV Resort is now over and we have traveled the 320 or so miles north to Savannah, GA. The month of February just flew by like crazy. I thought time went slowly while working. But now, it is like a hyperdrive. Kind of scary. The highlights of our month there were meeting many friendly people and making some new friends. We also enjoyed the warmest February on record for the Tampa, FL area. Very nice. Continue reading “Last Week at Orchid Lake RV Resort (FL) and Travel Days to Savannah, GA”
We have been slowly debating the pros and cons of where to travel to this year. So many places we want to see and so many things to do. Our original plan was to see most of the country in three years and then find a location to finally settle down. It has now become obvious that our country is so large that our plan will probably need to be extended, God willing. Continue reading “2018 Spring and Summer Travel Plans”
