Once considered to be the finest building in the American Colonies, Tryon Palace was constructed between 1767 and 1770 during the reign of King George III to be the seat of government and home to the family of the Royal Governor of the Colony of North Carolina. After...
In truth neither one us had much pondered the history of Pepsi Cola before our first visit to New Bern, North Carolina in 2014 but the fact that we'd have the opportunity to visit the Birthplace of Pepsi was one of the reasons for our return to this historic town....
What a delight to awaken to the sounds of a rooster heralding the morning, the sight of horses grazing outside our camper, and memories of last night’s experience of helping candle and place ostrich eggs into the incubator as well as getting up close and personal with...
James K Polk video This morning we spotted an interesting brown sign informing us that the President James K. Polk State Historic Site in Pineville, North Carolina was nearby. We made a quick decision to reroute, found parking for our rig, and headed inside to learn...
After one last errand, picking up a delivery at The UPS Store in Franklin, we hit the road and made our way to the Charlotte/Fort Mill KOA in Fort Mill, South Carolina. It's close enough that Bill & Dove could join us for a meal at the nearby Blacow Burgers.
This is definitely a hidden gem. Downtown RV Park is a private RV park located on the edge of downtown Franklin, North Carolina, only about ten sites. After getting ourselves organized and out of the house we headed here for a two night stay. It was a fun time getting...
What a delight to go hang out for a couple of hours in a winery knowing that the trek home is walking just a few yards to our camper. That's just what Mike and Shelly offered us at The Rusty Nail in Martinsburg, West Virginia last night. Lucky for us they joined...
Our travels yesterday were a rather lengthy 234 miles ending at the Delaware Water Gap/Pocono Mountain KOA in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania and a yummy dinner of Chicken Cordon Bleu at Muller's Diner, an eatery recommended by a local as we checked in. But even before...
Today's travels have taken us a bit north of US-20 to Abbott Farms in Baldwinsville, New York. It's another great Harvest Hosts site. In accordance with Harvest Hosts Etiquette, we made a point to arrive early enough to be able to shop in the farm store. Since it's...
Today's route is US-20 eastbound across New York State. It's one of our favorite highways. Our first trip along this stretch was in September 1976 driving a 1971 Pontiac LeMans from Niagara Falls, Ontario to Glens Falls, New York. If memory serves us correctly we...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

Our recent travel misadventures seriously curtailed our time in Rome pre-cruise but we did get to visit the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel before making the trip to Civitavecchi for an overnight in the port city of Rome preparatory to departing on Allure of the Seas tomorrow.
Travel plans sometimes go awry. In this case flooding near Milan caused our train trip to be interrupted leading to one Flix Bus journey, three taxi rides, an overnight stay in Milan, and an airline flight to arrive in Rome more than 24 hours later than planned. Not exactly the adventure we had planned but giving us yet another campfire story!
With only a day and a half for exploring Paris we first visited Notre Dame then did a bus tour the first evening. On Day 2 we sampled some of treasures of The Louvre and Musee Rodin before walking back to Notre Dame, a ten mile walk!
