Up to this point on Road Trip 2019, we have been in what we call “travel mode.” That is, any destination thus far was a short-term stay of only two or three days. Although we might have taken advantage of dining or sightseeing opportunities, we were stopping to rest up and take a little driving…Continue Reading “Pensacola Beach RV Resort”
When I first looked at this resort, I thought it probably wasn’t our sort of place because it looks like it’s primarily geared for families with kids to have a great time. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that, but we don’t have kids traveling with us and prefer a more low-key environment. Well, at…Continue Reading “Reunion Lake RV Resort”
After 13 days on the road, we finally begin slowing down our pace slightly when we arrive at Lafayette KOA, Stop #6 of Road Trip 2019. We were able to stay three nights in this location, from April 25 to April 28. That way, we could start relaxing a bit after all the whirlwind activity…Continue Reading “Lafayette KOA”
Our fifth stop on Road Trip 2019 finds us at another KOA, this time in Lufkin, TX. Here we stayed at the Lufkin KOA Journey from April 23 to 25. It’s a 33-site campground that had quite a large store with RV supplies and gifts considering its small size. Our site has a decent amount…Continue Reading “Lufkin KOA Journey”
In prior years, our eastward migration kept us on Interstate 40 until we hit Nashville. This year we departed from our normal routine by cutting across Texas to head southeasterly instead. Stop #4 on Road Trip 2019 was Sanger/Denton North KOA Journey. Along the way, I was happy to see the world famous Texas bluebonnets….Continue Reading “Sanger/Denton North KOA Journey”
We arrived at Stop #3 of Road Trip 2019 on April 19, 2019, and stayed two nights at the Amarillo KOA. This is also our third RV road trip that routed us through Amarillo, but our third campground in this area. However, it was the first time we stayed more than one night so that…Continue Reading “Amarillo KOA”
Although we started planning our Road Trip 2019 as homeowners with eventual plans to sell in 2020 perhaps, we accelerated our plans and sold the house so that we could become full-time RVers. We were under contract six weeks before our departure date and closed the day we left Las Vegas. Dean deserves all the…Continue Reading “Full-time Venturing: Road Trip 2019”
After a relatively successful Road Trip 2017 (only one weather-related detour), we decided we had learned a lot: We could get along with one another for extended periods in a relatively small space. We didn’t need to pack nearly as many clothes as we thought we did. We weren’t nearly as far from civilization that…Continue Reading “Getting More Venturous: Road Trip 2018”
We purchased the first RV that we owned together in the fall of 2016 with some preconceived ideas about where we would go, but it didn’t take long to decide that we would make plans for something… more epic! At least, more epic than we had originally envisioned. As part of our work life in…Continue Reading “In the Beginning: Road Trip 2017”
We were just outside Albuquerque, NM, For Stop #2 of Road Trip 2018 and again for Road Trip 2019. For these trips, we decided to try a different park than the one we stayed at during Road Trip 2017, American RV Park. We had never stayed at a casino RV park before, so we thought…Continue Reading “Route 66 RV Resort”
