After that harrowing experience in New Orleans, that took a time off my life for sure, we had thought that our dreams for a motorhome were extinguished. Instead, what it did for us, is help us figure out what we really needed.
We had chose the Safari Trek because it was not as large as a [...]

Okay, so there I was 3 hours from home, at 3:30 a.m., freezing, in a part of a city that I am unfamiliar with, I have no transportation and no place to sleep.
So first thing I needed was a hotel room to crash, but where was I? Luckily my phone was now charged and [...]

Lost Sole #401 was discovered during my layover in Mobile at the Greyhound Bus Station while I was getting some fresh air. The photo below it is of the Trek that almost caused me to die from stress overload. It is hard to look at the pic as I had such high hopes for the [...]

The St. George lighthouse was relocated from the West End of the Island where it had collapsed from hurricanes in 2005. The locals gathered all of the bricks, and using the original plans rebuilt the lighthouse where it now stands in the center of the island activity.As the photographer for Snowbirds Gulf Coast Magazine, I [...]

Tucked away from the Snowbird and Tourist spotlight is a little piece of “Old Florida” known as the Nav-A-Gator Bar and Restaurant. It seems as if it might be almost just the way it was when it opened in the 50s.

A light crowd on the Ocean City Boardwalk.This is a beach town I have visited several times before and really enjoyed it. It has a totally different pace than Pensacola Beach, TOTALLY! Now that can be good or bad, depending on what you are looking for. Ocean City lacks any secluded beach areas like Pensacola [...]

After hanging in Deal Island for a few days doing pretty much nothing, we were stir crazy and ventured out to the small historic town of Pocomoke City just 30 minutes away. It is definitely small, but full of charm. An old downtown area was neat to look at, but we were hoping to get lunch there but no restaurants except a pizza place was still in business :( Apparently there were two nice places with lots of personality right in downtown that just recently closed their doors.

16 National Parks, 18 States, and 6,588 miles and Countless Hours of Driving.

That is what a journey we are dreaming of doing will entail. A journey that will take us across the United States from Florida to Washington. We anticipate hitting every National Park in our path, as well as all the Dog Parks, Brewpubs and now playgrounds that we can. Our tenative departure date from Pensacola is April 1, 2012

We arrived at Deal Island with a sound asleep Nora, after an hour straight of screaming. She just wanted out of the VAN! She endured 20 hours over 3 days stuck in the car seat and just could not handle another minute. So I pulled over and just by pure luck, was an upscale gated [...]
