Breakfast, Lunch & Ernest Hemingway, Florida Keys


We had a neighbor at Fiesta Key we called, “Guy in the Swing”.  He was a guy that relaxed in a full-sized patio glider/swing. How on earth he transported the thing we haven’t a clue, but he sure looked comfy.  We passed by him on our way to swim, sit in the spa, or go to Lobster Crawl.  Names were…

Strolling Duval Street, Key West


After a hearty brunch at Blue Heaven, a stroll was in order, so we headed to nearby Duval Street.  On our way I spotted a place that made me think of our nephew and his wife:       Enough champagne with do this to a person:                 We spent quite some time at Wyland…

Breaux Bridge, LA Bayou Eco-Swamp Tour


We’ve traveled in our RV to New Orleans twice before, and each time the highway takes us through the bayou, we dream of being on a boat getting up close and personal with the creatures that inhabit the murky water, and moss covered trees. Well, today was our lucky day.  After a little research and asking the locals, we settled…

Hello San Antonio!  It’s been three days since we’ve left San Diego. Each day we have endured 7+ hours on the road. It’s always that way if we are traveling any further than New Mexico via I-10. It’s totally worth the few long days of vast desert, because now that it’s in our rearview mirror for this trip, we can…

Tucson, AZ to Van Horn, TX


Van Horn, Texas.  It’s a small town smack-dab in the middle of Texas no-where-land when heading east on I-10.  Up bright and early to leave Tucson for a long day on the road, we were prepared for the stretch of highway that lie ahead.   There’s a tourist trap that claims to be at the Continental Divide. Let it be…

Hello!


I’m in the process of moving my previous blog, “The Rolling Homebody”, over to this easier to find, updated blog. Instead of attempting a kitschy title, I’ve kept it simple using just my name, so there ya go, family and friends. It may take some time to move my old posts over, but I wanted to get this up and running…

We’re Going to Austin, Texas


We plan on leaving around the first of October, and we’re not really sure how long we’ll be gone.  At least a month, if the winds blow in our favor.  We’ll be visiting our dear friends in Austin, Texas.  Actually, it’s our dear friends, their kids, and grandkids. They just relocated from Huntington Beach to the Austin area, following their…

Hey There!


With all the opportunities to have an internet presence, I thought trying my hand at blogging could be a fun way to share our travels and exploits with family and friends. I’ll be recapping some of our more memorable trips, and look forward to sharing upcoming ones as well.  I have no idea where this new venture will take me,…
