Mindfulness RV Trip Planning

We are currently looking into either a trip to Alaska or a trip across Canada in 2024, and are allocating 6 – 8 weeks for either trip. There’s several things we’ll need to check into, regardless of what trip we take.  STATESIDE We haven’t been to the US in our RV in a long, longContinue reading “Mindfulness RV Trip Planning”

The Camping Season that Went Sideways

Sorry for the radio silence…read on to discover why. Earlier this year, we’d mapped out a plan to do a lot of camping in Alberta.  We still did a lot of camping, but most of it was for one reason: we were moving cities. In April, we decided to move. Fed up with big cityContinue reading “The Camping Season that Went Sideways”

Our month In Osoyoos, BC

This post is long overdue, but better late than never, right? We spent the month of May in Osoyoos. The weather was unseasonably cool and rainy. We managed to make the best of it, nonetheless. One night the temperature dropped to 2C! Our full service site had cable, a total luxury for us as weContinue reading “Our month In Osoyoos, BC”

Destination: Osoyoos, BC

After a quiet fall and winter spent at home, we are getting ready to head out to Osoyoos, British Columbia for a month. We are looking forward to it for a number of reasons. The last few months have been quite chaotic. And, this morning we woke up to this: Ahhh…..springtime in Alberta. Osoyoos, BCContinue reading “Destination: Osoyoos, BC”

Barbecued Peaches

It’s peach season! Is there anything better than a ripe, juicy peach? Yes! BBQ’d peaches stuffed with ice cream and drizzled with a liqueur. Makes an easy and delicious dessert while camping.  Take a peach and cut it in half. Remove pits. Place cut side down on the BBQ on medium heat until it beginsContinue reading “Barbecued Peaches”

Happy Places

I am at the beach. Cannon Beach in Oregon, I believe. Definitely Oregon in any event. I am sitting on a branch located on the beach, gazing into the ocean. The light is grey, it is cloudy, and I feel a bit cool, all surprising to me for the time of year (June). This stretchContinue reading “Happy Places”

A Mouse in The Blender and Other Critters

A number of years ago we were camping in British Columbia. I’d just finished brushing my teeth in the bathroom and came out into the main part of our RV, only to notice my husband with our RV door open, dumping something outside. He came back into the RV, holding our blender. He’d pulled it outContinue reading “A Mouse in The Blender and Other Critters”

Staying Fit While On An RV Road Trip

No need to pay drop in fees at the gym while you’re on the road in your RV.  With a few simple pieces of equipment you can continue your workouts in your RV, or outside at your site, if the weather’s favorable. I brought some hand weights, resistance elastic, and a small ball along withContinue reading “Staying Fit While On An RV Road Trip”

Toilet Talk

“Nope” I muttered as I walked into the room. We’d been journeying through Arizona, Utah, and other Southwest States and were currently on our way to Wyoming.  We pulled into a name brand gas company’s gas station in smalltown, Arizona, to fill up and empty out. As we typically try not to use our ownContinue reading “Toilet Talk”

Oregon’s Lighthouses and Bridges

In 2004, we travelled with our 5th wheel to Washington and Oregon, going as far south as the Dunes area near Florence, Oregon. This would be our first trip to Oregon and Washington, but certainly not our last. Part of our trip included a visit to some of Oregon’s covered bridges and lighthouses.  There areContinue reading “Oregon’s Lighthouses and Bridges”
