Oh Well, Roll with the Punches
Hubby was born a fisherman. No one in his family fished, but from his earliest days it’s all he ever wanted to do. Maybe it’s that Manzanita Indian blood that courses through his veins, maybe it’s genetic. Who knows why

If we are near Atlanta we must be in traffic
Hubby usually avoids driving the RV anywhere near a major city. Get on a major highway, near a city, and you face unfamiliar interchanges, rush hour traffic, and frenzied drivers. It’s one of the reasons we stick to the back

Mermaids, Manatees and Kitch
Think Florida and Disney World or the beaches of Tampa and Miami may come to mind. But do you think of Mermaids? Live ones, swimming underwater for your entertainment pleasure? Florida has more than 160 state parks. Many are in

Panic on Mt. Washington, New Hampshire
Are you afraid of heights? I’m not, but I may have mentioned that Hubby is. I rearrange our RV road travel so as not to encounter switchbacks, drop offs or steep inclines. So what was I thinking when I talked

Song of the South: Charleston, SC
We have visited many times, lived there both part-time and full-time, and when we are done wandering would like to return. (My first choice would actually be Manhattan, but Hubby won’t step foot in the place. Too much noise, too

Up the U.P.
The U.P., short for the Upper Peninsula, in case you are unfamiliar with the area, is the northern most stretch of Michigan. Wisconsin forms the southwest border of the Peninsula, the rest of it is surrounded by Great Lakes. Superior

Lobstah Dinners and Other Summer Fun
There is nothing like New England seafood. Haddock, steamers, scallops and lobster have become a staple of our New Hampshire diet. As soon as we get down to Portland we’ll add fresh swordfish to that list. (for some reason we

Door County, Wisconsin: lighthouses, cherries and cheese
Think Green Bay and what comes to mind? The Packers? Cold, snow filled sunday afternoon football? Certainly not an idyllic body of water, cute towns and harbors, cherry pie and pastoral farmland. We were on the start of our tour

Where to Next? Planning a trip
Planning our RV trips is not rocket science. Our starting approach varies but it usually entails the use of a map. Sometimes it is a specific event we want to attend, like when we went to the Memphis in May

P.E.I. Mussels, Green Gables, and Friendly Foxes
I love mussels. Mussels in White Wine, Diablo, Marinara, it doesn’t matter. Give me a bowl of mussels, some fresh bread, and a glass of wine and I’m good to go. Add some “Frites” (french fries for the uninformed) and

Discovering America in Newfoundland
Let me start with a caveat. You can’t credit Columbus, or anyone else, with “discovering” America when he encountered millions of indigenous people already living here. (and then generously introduced them to all sorts of germs and diseases that just

Catch of the Day, Broad Bay, New Hampshire
Not a photo catch, well, yes that too. I mean a real catch, the elusive small mouth, the one that hubby is out there seeking every morning. This is his passion. This is why we are here in New Hampshire.

Fun at Fundy, in search of the 50 foot Tide
From the wilds of Maine we head the motorhome east, across the border into New Brunswick, Canada. We heard the surf was up in the Bay of Fundy. Talk about extreme tides, each day the Bay of Fundy sees billions of tons of seawater flow
