Today is Sunday and Beth and I are on our way home. Our Southwest Adventure ended today, almost exactly halfway across the country on the border between Illinois and Iowa. Allow me to explain… If you have been keeping up with this blog, you know that every time we were knocked down, we got up. …
Our Thursday started with a trip to Camping World, the largest RV seller and service provider in the USA. Our lavatory wasn’t smelling very sweet and our refrigerator wasn’t cooling very well. We also wanted to follow up on our hitch which was still not functioning well. Had we found the Mecca of repair and …
Today (Wednesday) was our second consecutive day of pedal to the metal, let’s make up for lost time, driving. (Actually, we drive our rig at 60 mph so it’s more about time than speed.) Tonight we are camped in Elkhart, Indiana. On the way here we drove by fields of corn and soy prevalent in …
Good news: We had enough points to pay for our hotel, including free breakfast and one free dinner – SWEET Bad news: I overate at all of the buffet breakfasts because I don’t know when to say “enough” – OOPS Good news: The truck cost $650 to fix instead of $1500, the worst case scenario …
Monday, Monday We dropped off our Ford F150 at the repair shop this morning. As of this afternoon they’ve got the parts and the car up on the lift. By the time you’re reading this we’ll have either departed on a somewhat speedier schedule to the Southwest (Plan B) or we are in the midst …

Want to make God laugh? Our plan was to leave eastern Pennsylvania this morning. To be extra safe, we stopped at a local RV repair shop to have our hitch serviced and pick up a few camping items. While there, the head mechanic said, “Just so you know, your truck is leaking transmission fluid.” Uh,oh. …
Today, we had lunch with Beth’s sister and brother in law in KOP (that’s the cool new name for King of Prussia, PA). Driving through the city and taking in the people, the cars and the stores, I noticed that KOP has become much more upscale, so much so that I think people knew I …
We have left LBI after 17 days of work and play. We were glad to arrive and happy to leave. Our youngest daughter once shared her thought about traveling momentum. The longer one stays in one place, the harder it becomes to detach and move onward. It’s natural for us humans to start laying down …
Today is hot, hot, hot and the sand flies are back, back, back in town. Accordingly, I am enjoying indoor activities where they cannot attack me. First, we caught up with our friend, Barbara, one of our first clients and, now, best friends. She and her husband, Michael, are snowbirds who we met when Barbara …
