Great adventures in diving, RVing and travel
Driving an RV around the New York City metro area is not for the faint of heart! Nor is trying to see the sights of this city in two rainy days. But we did it and lived to tell the tale, so here goes! We once again brought the rain …
We have traveled through some beautiful country since our last post, and we’ve seen a ton of family and friends. Today we made it to Jersey City, NJ, completing Phase I of our 15-week trip (traveling 3,214 miles in less than 3 weeks) (we’ll be exploring New York City over …
We made it through our thunderstorms and mechanical challenges, arriving at Cave City, Kentucky (in the southwest part of the state) on Thursday. The cats and Hank were delighted to learn that we weren’t moving the RV again for three days! While we sit and await the Kentucky Derby (on …
We’ve just completed our first week of 15 on our trip from SoCal to the East Coast, and what a week it has been! I’m sitting here in beautiful western Kentucky, where we are camped on the banks of the Mississippi River in Columbus-Belmont State Park, where the birds are …

January 2019 In the winter, it’s fun to take our RV for short trips to familiar hangouts, and Pismo Beach is one of our favorite areas. Here are a few highlights of our recent trip: 1. Visiting elephant seals at Piedras Blancas (about an hour north of Pismo on Highway …
December 2018 – Our last dive trip was in February, so we wanted to fit in another trip before the end of the year. Dive trips in the Caribbean are generally cheaper and easier to get to than traveling to Asia and the South Pacific. The diving isn’t as spectacular, …
July 2018 – This was a return trip to Yellowstone for us, so we only stayed three nights and stayed in the northern part of the park, around Mammoth Hot Springs and the Lamar Valley. We got up early to drive 180 miles and obtain a campsite in the first-come-first-served …
