Bradley, Age 13 We’ve been watching a show on Disney called “Man, Woman, Dog” which I recommend to anyone who loves dogs (like me). Brad will be joining us on our adventure. He’s a great traveling companion, always eager to jump into the car and see and smell a new location. If he knew about …
Since conceiving this adventure, my mind and body have been waking me up every night. Typically, I’m up around 3am for an hour or two. Last night, though, I was up from 1am until 5am. Often, I’ll read. I’ve been moving through novels by John Grisham and others like him. Sometimes, I like to think …
As of yesterday, everything we own is in front of us, viewable and categorized so that we can prepare for our estate sale in mid-January. When that’s through, the next steps will be to move treasured (or useful) things to a small storage unit. Next, we’ll give away items and furniture to Goodwill, Habitat for …
Over the last few days and for the next few weeks, I will be migrating our digital life from a home-based business to a mobile one. This means that I need to downsize and reconfigure everything I did in our music, video and yoga studios. I will have to create an environment in the camper …
Minutes ago, we booked our first RV site in Savannah, GA. Our plan is to arrive in early February and stay for about one month before pushing off to Asheville, NC (March) and then Nashville, TN (April). Savannah will be our southernmost stop and then we’ll be working our way north as the weather gets …
The biggest challenge of RVing with my spouse is when we are both anxious. Usually, this happens when we’re leaving or arriving at a campsite. That’s when the truck and the camper have to come together (or apart) and a series of things have to be done before moving on or settling in. Beth and …
Today is Christmas, a day off from work, an opportunity to be with family, enjoy some down time and cook a tasty dinner. While our girls are home, I’ve purposefully let go of the need to drive the project forward – a difficult task for a sometimes workaholic like me! It’s good practice because our …
One of the traps I can fall into I’ll call “logistical planning”. Of course, it’s great to be smart about getting ready for this big trip – or any other life change – but not when it’s at the expense of one’s emotional well-being. It’s right and good to feel grief. We’re leaving the home, …
Savannah in February When we push off from Yorktown Heights in our truck, we’ll be driving south. It will probably take us a week to reach our first stop – Savannah, Georgia – where it’s currently 70-80 degrees! As I write this, our intention is to find a campground where we can stay for 3-4 …
In August 2021, we took a month-long trip to visit one of our daughters, Steph Bierko, in Montana. As we traveled from our home in New York to Bozeman and back, we discovered that the simple life of living in our RV and seeing the country really appealed to us. Thus began a four-month odyssey …
