It was time to leave Denver and start the long drive home. We had mixed feelings about leaving the daughter-that-got-away behind, but we plan to be back. Denver certainly felt like a second home. Speaking of homes, below is a glimpse into a new and improved kitchen that Tony left behind. This is just a … Continue reading The Long Drive Home – Part One
We didn't think this day will come. For the first time we were compelled to leave a negative review for a campground. Sadly, it was a Canadian campground in our home province, Ontario. We arrived at Falls Reserve Conservation Area on a late Tuesday afternoon after making reservations online for one night. There was no … Continue reading Falls Reserve Conservation Area
Can we say anything about New Orleans that was not said before? You can easily fall in love with this crazy party city, it's architecture and history, music and art vibe. Now if you could just take the tourists away and solve the homeless situation we would love it even more. One can dream. Two … Continue reading New Orleans
We had a wedding to attend in Cape Cod and a friend to visit in Vermont. These two stops and some ocean time in between were the only items on our agenda, so unlike our usual mad dash to nowhere in particular, we took our time and managed to stretch the 10 hour each-way trip … Continue reading On Route To Cape Cod – Erie Canalway To Myles Standish Park

We considered utilizing part of the back cabinet, but it's too far from the kitchen, plus it is technically in … Continue reading Pantry Surprise

We also shared the sad news about Emma's illness, so we'll start with an update before taking you back to Assateague. Emma is still with us. She is such a tough old girl, stoically fighting … Continue reading Assateague Part 2
We are a bit lazy. We usually choose the twin beds option in our van and don't bother setting up the king size bed. The only snag in this operation is having Emma jumping between both beds and sharing the limited space of the twin bed with us during the night. If you have twin … Continue reading Dog Bed Hack
We are about to leave on a short trip to Assateague National Seashore so we thought it would be a good idea to test the newly replaced toilet before we leave. It was a good idea because we pressed the pedal and nothing happened. The toilet is not working. After the initial panic settled we … Continue reading Black Tank Sensor Bypass
It's time to review our Carado Banff campervan. It's been 6 months since we bought our Carado Banff - a Class B motorhome. We had several opportunities to test it out in different weather conditions and during trips of varying lengths and it's time to pause and examine the pros and cons of RVing and traveling in a small Class B RV.
If you don't don't like donkeys, cacti, or rocks, don't even bother clicking on this link or reading on! We started a slow retreat east, and at one point we will sadly have to start heading north. in the meantime, we were able to boondock in a few areas that we would really like to … Continue reading Burros, Cacti, and Rocks (The Desert Is Boring They Say…)
