Sunrise over the river – stunning. I was going to head to Marfa, TX (at the recommendation of a real life friend who also happens to have a van), but after driving hundreds of miles, decided not to go that far out of the way in one shot. Then Google maps told me my next […]
2023-01-03 Granbury, TX
After a lunch of crawfish étouffée in Shreveport, LA, I dropped KT at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport, so he could fly home (bridge tournament coming up that didn’t fit the driving schedule). But since we raced there, I could take my time getting to San Diego. Since dropping him for the flight ate up most […]
2023-01-02 Mississippi (Not Added to Map)
Fog was thick leaving the banks of the Suwanee River. I noticed gas prices dropped even more as we crossed into Mississippi. I had seen a lot of hype around Buc-ee’s gas stations, but hadn’t yet experienced one, however I had been amused by their billboards on previous trips (not sure I could hold a […]
2023-01-01 California Bound
We started the new year “On The Road Again” – with the first stop being the Tampa International Airport to drop A off for her flight back. I sported my new perfect Christmas present t-shirt, courtesy of T. We took a brief break on the north side of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in St. Petersburg […]
2022-12-02 Dry Yard Means Moving
Ahhh 🙂 Yard finally dried out enough that I could “move” down to the river. And now I’m not parked over a mound, so can hopefully wiggle under the van to see if I can fix the propane myself.
2022-11-23 Post Propane and Winging Wipeouts
An unexpected outcome of the winging turned out to be board burns on my knees. Ouch. I was also feeling every sore muscle in my body. Pass the Advil, please. I immediately ordered knee pads at the recommendation of my winging friend for future sessions. I also ordered a highly rated butane fueled portable stove […]
2022-11-19 Winging in Keys
Escape from the destruction zone! Despite the propane tire mishap, the show must go on! I split two days of wing foiling private instruction off a boat in the Keys with a new friend I’d met through a women’s winging Facebook group. I had just attempted to pick up wing foiling in California, but wasn’t […]
2022-11-18 Semi Tire Meets Propane
My big accomplishment today was not blowing up. I’ll take it. So heading to a weekend of wing foiling lessons in the Keys (and a break from hurricane cleanup), I was in Miami, only 20 miles from where I was going to stop to do my work day when a semi tire appeared in my […]
2022-11-12 Tampa Airport – RV Show
Slept in the Tampa airport cell phone lot last night ahead of KT’s early morning flight. The proximity made rolling into the departures terminal at 5:30am much easier than getting up at 3am and driving up from Punta Gorda. A bit noisy. I think the long term lot (paid) would have been better. After dropping […]
2022-10-30 KT Arrives
KT arrived and after retrieving him from the airport, we stopped to visit our good friends and former neighbors from Virginia who moved to Sarasota. Then my dad arrived for Halloween. Family dinner and photos at Fisherman’s Village.
