I have been pouring through my photos from my August vacation to Arizona. They are great photos (to me) of family, friends, places I enjoyed visiting, and our RV. I take far too many photos and then usually just leave them. When I share them with friends, they then have to sit through multiple shots [...]

During our August trip, I spent a morning at Tohono Chul Park in Tucson, AZ. The park is in a most idyllic setting at the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. I did not have a chance to visit all of the park but that will guarantee a return visit! I did visit the Children’s [...]

Now that grad school is over and I’ve begun to relax, I am reviving this blog. I’ve missed it!
Today the latest issue of Woodall’s Camping Life arrived in the mail. I subscribe to Camping Life, Motorhome Magazine, and Arizona Highways. I would love to write for either of these magazines, but thus far, it seems [...]

I am giving myself time to write today as a reward for having met some deadlines. I am in the process of writing a thesis to culminate my latest graduate school experience. The thesis is on travel, but I am writing with guidelines and deadlines rather than the free-flowing personal nature of my blog posts. [...]

One month ago, Johnnie and I were at our fourth major destination, Acadia National Park, Maine, USA. Coming back into the US was just as easy as leaving it. The Customs Agent said “Welcome home” to us. Johnnie and I have traveled outside of the country before — 2 trips to the Bahamas and a 10-day pilgrimage [...]

Kouchibouguac National Park was great! From an RV standpoint, it was phenomenal. The sites in the South Kouchibouguac Campground were long enough to back in our 40-foot motorhome, have space to park our Jeep and plenty of room to spare.
We spent four days at the Park and barely scratched the surface of all there was [...]

♫On the road again♫
Johnnie and I left NJ late Saturday night, just to say that we had started our vacation. We stopped for a few hours at the rest area on the Northeast Extension of the PA Turnpike (I-476) before Allentown. Then Sunday we journeyed to Niagara Falls. We took a rather scenic route: [...]

On Sunday, I took a little trip (by car) to get out in the outdoors. Still homebound. 36 days until hitting the road in the RV. Getting outdoors started with my traveling route. I could have driven the Atlantic City Expressway which on a Sunday in June is full of vehicles traveling to the shore. [...]

Still homebound. Now I have the “contraries”. The “contraries” are when you get into a bad mood for what seems to be no apprent reason and nothing anyone says or does is right. It’s like getting sand in your clothing or a pebble in your shoe — no matter which way you move, you are [...]

Sunday’s Washington Post featured a story on yurts at Belleplain State Forest. I’m not the only one who loves this state forest in New Jersey!
