Great adventures in diving, RVing and travel
After watching the UCLA women’s basketball team (on TV) win the NCAA national championship and joining them at Pauley Pavilion for their victory celebration, we packed up the cats and ebikes and headed to our home campground in Valencia, California. The next day I taught my last UCLA class (after …
“Didn’t you just visit Alaska?” friends have asked. Well, yes, we took our RV there on an 8500-mile, 11-week trip in 2023. See the blue route below for the area of Alaska (and a bit of the Yukon Territory and British Columbia) that we visited in 2023. But there are …
After our snow-enhanced visit to Yellowstone, we ventured 40 miles south to Grand Teton National Park, another favorite which we have now visited five times in nine years. We camped at Colter Bay Village (our first stay here), which is in the northern part of the national park, right on …
This was our sixth trip to Yellowstone in nine years! I guess we like it! For wildlife lovers like we are, Yellowstone never disappoints–and it’s got amazing scenery and thermal features as added bonuses. The drive from Glacier National Park to Yellowstone National Park was too far for us to …

The main reason we signed up for this scuba diving trip traveling 450 miles on a dive boat from Bali to Komodo was the chance to see Komodo dragons in the wild. The second reason was the opportunity to dive in a remote area of Indonesia with some of the …
We were sad to leave Jasper National Park after such fantastic wildlife viewing. But the drive south on the Icefields Parkway that connects Jasper and Banff was stunning on a sunny day. We stopped briefly to view the toe of the Athabasca Glacier. (We had actually walked out on the …
We spent a fabulous week at Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada, camping in the beautiful Whistlers Campground. Not as well-known as its southern cousin, Banff National Park, Jasper is less-crowded and more full of accessible wildlife than Banff. Wildlife lovers take note: Jasper at the beginning of June is …
While nothing can compare with our epic trip “to Alaska and back in 80 days” last summer, we had been wanting to return to the Canadian Rockies, which we had not visited since 2008 (pre-motorhome). So this was the year for this multi-week trip. Getting out of Southern California to …
