This weeks travel theme from Where’s My Backpack is liquid. The only thing I can think of is water. Maybe because of my preggo brain and a constant need for water…not so sure. But, I know daily for the last few months I must be consuming at least 2 gallons of water a day. I … Continue reading »
This week’s photo challenge is about perspective. Here we are in the French Countryside. No, I can’t tell you about Spain, Italy or the splendor of the distant Swiss alps….well, because we haven’t gotten there yet. What I can tell you is that over the past week, Nicole and I have been engulfed in the … Continue reading »
Ah yes, life on the road. The initial draw for us was monitary as an RV rental would allow us to save a few precious benjies but over the past few weeks it’s become a real insight into the life of an rv traveller. I think Nicole would agree that far and away the best … Continue reading »
There must be a cool office somewhere in the world full of people that get to name roads. For the most part its probably a pretty boring job as most roads and highways don’t drum up much excitement or at least not enough to create a name worthy of such. I bet, however, that the … Continue reading »
To this point, the trip has been absolutely phenomenal. We have seen some spectacular places and some really inspiring cities along the way. I must admit though, there is something missing for me from time to time as we approach each new marked spot on our travel map. I mean, yes, Barcelona, Paris, and … Continue reading »
We began our day in Cannes hoping to catch a train from there along the coast to Monaco. I guess it would’ve worked if we were driving a mini, but of course things didn’t go as smoothly for the Americans in an RV. We drove into the old city of Cannes looking for the train … Continue reading »
No, I can’t tell you about Spain, Italy or the splendor of the distant Swiss alps….well, because we haven’t gotten there yet. What I can tell you is that over the past week, Nicole and I have been engulfed in the marvelous serenity of the french countryside. Yes, Paris was great. If you have cash, … Continue reading »
After our short stopover in Dieppe, we headed to the nearby dramatic site of Mt. St. Michel. The massive building along the dikes of northern France stands 250 above sea level and had been attracting gawking onlookers since its construction completed during the 16th century. Now, because we are on a tight shoestring, we decided … Continue reading »
Ok, so we finally snagged some wifi at a McDonald’s so i can catch you up on the goings on from Frenchyland. Ahh Paris, its the sort of place that you imagine stepping into and falling in love with everything all over again….but then you get a whaft of urine and that changes a few … Continue reading »
It has been hours, I have been sitting on the chair in the Rv waiting for the sun to rise. You see, we are in the middle of these trees and the wind is howling, leaves are flying and acorns or rain or who knows is falling from the sky. My over active imagination has … Continue reading »
We’ve now been in the RV 5 nights and 5 days… Slept in camp sights, rest stops and now a port. We’ve cooked 12 meals, 7 pots of coffee and emptied the you know what once. We’ve also clocked 1000 km already. She is definitely tough to drive in the cities, must be a country … Continue reading »
Our first stop South of the Netherlands was the cute port town of Dieppe. We arrived after dark and pulled directly into a parking lot in the harbor. Adam found a powerpole with a plug, so he plugged us in and hid the cord below the guard rail. We made some Mexican for dinner, had … Continue reading »
