I’ve about had it with this year. Let’s think about next spring. Let’s dream dreams and make plans. Heck, maybe the Canadian border will even be open. I realize I’m getting well ahead of myself here, but I’m betting a lot of my followers are also, in one way or another, looking forward to puttingContinue reading “Its All About Time”

Not a Pretty Day
When you are trying to squeeze as much quality travel and RV camping as possible into a necessarily limited time-span … in my case, late spring through fall in Alaska – there are going to be days less picturesque than others. Heck, sometimes (like today) it’s just plain cold, wet and dreary. On the otherContinue reading “Not a Pretty Day”
Off the Road (for now)
I definitely planned to be off the road before the 4th of July weekend – and it seems I barely squeaked in under the wire. I expected some vacation destinations would pick up a bit for the holidays, which is why I chose to return home … but I had no idea. 😳 Although IContinue reading “Off the Road (for now)”
On the Road Again 🎵🎶🎵
Let’s sing the chorus one more time! Gotta love driving down the highway to Willie Nelson songs. Rhonda doesn’t even seem to mind my singing. 😉 Speaking of things you just gotta love … get this. I had a doctor appointment this morning at 11:00 am. Because of the pandemic, I’ve been doing tele-med appointmentsContinue reading “On the Road Again 🎵🎶🎵”
Day Six – Homeward Bound
Slowly, we turned towards home … Oh, how my heart wanted to find some other route. Something other than the Parks Hwy, which will lead us back to our “normal” life. Eventually. 😉 But not today. All right, no more whining. I know it’s past time to call a [temporary] halt to this particular ramble,Continue reading “Day Six – Homeward Bound”
Day Five … Already?
Roada’s wheels didn’t move a single inch today. Yep, you read that right – I spent last night and all day today enjoying the constant movement of the wide moss-green Chena River outside my door, but the river was the only thing moving. I slept late (bless you, Ronni, for being willing to indulge meContinue reading “Day Five … Already?”
Day Three – The Adventure Continues
Departing Valdez Saturday morning was bittersweet. I could’ve easily stayed for several days, but this trip is all about travel, not destinations. So I unhooked water and electric, tidied the rig, and stored away my mosquito plants, step and door mat. The road ahead would be bumpy, so I made sure everything was extra secure.Continue reading “Day Three – The Adventure Continues”
De and the Dachsies Ramble on … Day Two
My heart sings, absolutely swells with joy when I drive through towering, snow-capped mountains. I think there should be a rule that they place vehicle pull-outs at every single scenic view. Impractical, perhaps. But geez … when you are traveling alone, it’s not like you can just stop in the middle of the road toContinue reading “De and the Dachsies Ramble on … Day Two”
Journey … Day One
I ran away from home at noon today. OK, if you want to get technical about it – I drove away. But don’t worry – I’m well chaperoned. I absconded with our younger Dachshund, Rhonda. I also drove off with Jerry’s blessing, if not his understanding. He continues to scratch his head in mild bemusementContinue reading “Journey … Day One”
Mental Stimulation – Key to a Happy Retirement?
After retiring last fall from my office job of the past eight years, I gave a lot of thought to how best to keep my mind active and productive. I believe I mentioned that I was going to start writing again for BellaOnline – an international multi-topic online magazine owned and operated by women. I’veContinue reading “Mental Stimulation – Key to a Happy Retirement?”
