Sweet Home Punta Gorda

Hello faithful followers of the ForeverWherever adventures.  We hope you are both doing well tonight! We are home!  And happy, happy, happy to say so!  We normally wouldn't be so happy to be home.  Not that we don't love home, we do, and we're usually glad to be back, but we've never wanted to get home as much as we did this time.   … [Read more...]

Jeep Adventure in Moab, Utah

This was one of those days that we'll remember forever! What a difference a day can make! Yesterday we spent a ton of time turning the motorhome around and today we stayed put to have a little off road fun in Moab, Utah! We rented a Jeep because Tim hasn't managed to customize the motorhome for off road adventures just yet! Well, let's just say … [Read more...]

Snow, Snow, Navajo

It's been about 28 hours since we pulled out of Santa Fe.  In that time, we've been in three, no four, states and nothing much has gone according to plan.  Maybe that's why we don't plan too much!  The best way to describe it is with pictures: We left Santa Fe in the late afternoon.  We were going to head to Taos, NM but decided to move … [Read more...]

Santa Fe, New Mexico

Santa Fe.  It’s one of those places that makes you want to become a novelist.  You imagine sitting in a café on the Plaza sipping a steaming cup of some special “local’s only” coffee.  You exchange greetings with the regulars as they come and go, while spinning a yarn about the special, sometimes surreal, people and places which … [Read more...]

Heading to Santa Fe

Just wanted to drop a note to those faithful followers of our Winter Road Trip (there are at least four or five thousand people sitting by the computer waiting for our next exciting post, right?) Well it is about to get exciting!  We've been driving and driving and there just ain't a whole lot to say about that and not much to show you...but … [Read more...]

Winter Road Trip – Day 3 – North Texas

8:21pm Central Time - Childress, TX, en route to New Mexico. Last night we were able to make it through Mississippi and into Louisiana where we spent the night at a rest stop!  Not my favorite place to sleep, but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do! Today we've spent most of the day driving through the great big state of TEXAS!  We … [Read more...]

Winter Road Trip – Day 1.5

It's about 2:00pm Central Time and we're just south of Birmingham, Alabama.  It's rainy, but warm outside and we're still sporting our flip-flops. Yesterday was awesome!  Christmas is always wonderful and yesterday was no exception.  We could write volumes and post 100 pictures!  We had great times from first thing in the AM (6:00am) when … [Read more...]

Sandboarding in Oregon – Whooo Hoooo!

Face down in the dirt!  That was my most common position for the day.  Okay, so it wasn't dirt, it was sand.  Lots, and lots, and lots of sand, and I wasn't supposed to be eating it!  I was supposed to be gliding effortlessly down the hill carving nice even S-curves all the way to the bottom.   Practice...Concentrate...be the sand, … [Read more...]

Got Gas? – Daily Thanks

Monday, December 15, 2008 - Punta Gorda, FL Among other things, today I'm thankful for gas prices.  For us, it really makes a difference.  Our motorhome is a beast and if I'm haulin' down the freeway at 75MPH or so, it gets about 7.5 MPG...not good.  I can slow it down and save some money, but when gas was $4.00 a gallon I really had to back … [Read more...]

Travel Tales – Orcas Island, Washington

  The View at West Beach Resort, Orcas Island According to Google Maps, we were 3,430 miles from home.  Best I can tell, we were just about as far as we could go without leaving the country.  It's a good thing too, given the fact that I left my driver's license on the kitchen table!  We'd been on the road for awhile already, having camped … [Read more...]
