We’ve completed our first leg of our RV trip around America, traveling 3,000 miles from Raleigh through Florida and back to Raleigh before heading west. The total trip has been about six weeks, and we have our first full month of travel expenses to report. Early on, we created a monthly budget for our RV […]

Want to Know One HUGE Positive of Living in Our AirStream?
No MESS!!! Often when we have space it’s easy to do this….. When living in our Airsteam, we don’t have that option. We each have one small plastic bin of clothing. The kids each have one small plastic bin of toys. After we’re done with anything we HAVE to clean up or […]
How can we afford to quit work and to travel for a year?
We didn’t win the lottery or some other prize. Neither of us has a trust fund. We didn’t inherit money from a parent or rich uncle. We didn’t empty our retirement nest egg or take out a loan to travel. These are some of the ideas that others have conjectured about how we can afford […]
Weekend Camping Trip for Families in Everglades National Park
Exploring the entirety of Everglades National Park could easily take months. There are miles of hiking trails, biking trails, and paddling trails, not to mention hundreds of thousands of square acres of untrammeled wilderness in the mainland park and surrounding islands in the bay. Few people have months to explore an area, and fewer still […]

Are we investing for the future while we adventure travel? (Updated 2022)
The most common questions I receive about our year of adventure relate to finances. How much does it cost? How can you afford it? What about your debts? I’ve always considered money discussions taboo outside of family or business, but in the context of our adventure, I feel it’s important to share financial details to […]
How are the kids doing?
I am very much enjoying my time with Jane and Wilson. I can’t believe how much they have learned and grown as tiny people so far. Over Easter we spent some time with my parents in Fort Myers. My mom teaches fourth grade so Jane and I decided to bake cookies and take them to […]
Life in the Slow Lane with a Beat Up Airstream
Without towing a trailer, I drive pretty fast. I’m mostly in the left hand lane going at least ten over, pushing cars out of the way and always watching for a state trooper around the next corner. When towing the trailer, I’m much slower, for many reasons, but for one awesome reason. I no longer […]
Camp at Myakka State Park – Sarasota, Florida
We had a tough time getting a reservation to camp at Myakka State Park. We were all but resolved to camp in a private RV park somewhere in Sarasota, but at the last minute a reservation cancelled and we swooped in to get it. Myakka State Park is awesome from so many perspectives, clean campsites, […]
