Venturing Out

Road Trip

Believe it or not, we’re on the road, prompted by an appointment in Sugarcreek that we made back in January for a couple of mods. We also see it as a test of a couple of things. Can we travel with our T@B 400 and social distance? And can we incorporate features of our newer at home routine into our on the road routine? We left yesterday early afternoon. So far so good. Using facilities in our own trailer at rest areas and fuel stops, including meal breaks is working nicely. There was an apparent non-concern over precautions at our campground check-in but we used our own masks and hand sanitizing. Now as far as new routine, we’re pleased so far. We enjoyed coffee outside then went for a long brisk walk and then another leisurely cup of coffee before hitting the road. Now we’re at a rest stop preparing breakfast! Self-contained is good!

      Rooftop Solar to augment two Zamp suitcase panels, Maxxair Fan Deluxe with existing Fantastic fan to move to bathroom, and the new ultralight 2021 dinette table. Have you made any mods to yours?

        Steve, no mods yet, but will likely consider:
        – lighter table
        – newer square sink w better drainage

        We had factory installed solar. But love your idea of swapping fan into bathroom if we consider fan replacement. Frankly, due to covid we haven’t used enough to best know what mods make sense. Thanks, Michael

        Excellent updates. Put the MaxxAir in a few years ago and love it.

          Glad to hear you’ve had no regrets with the Maxxair. We think each one of the upgrades will make life in our T@B just a little better!

    Good you two are on the road again. I bought a 17ft Keystone Bullet and last year went on two adventures: one to Lake George NY in June and south of Denver CO in October. Not sure where this summer but CO at the top of the list because that’s where one of my daughters live with five grandchildren.

      So cool you are now part of the tiny trailer movement. We love our 18ft T@B. We spent a glorious week in Cripple Creek CO this past summer! (You can find those posts by clicking on CO on the State by State map.) And traveling to visit grandkids- isn’t it great!

      Can you edit it? The software won’t let us.

      We were well aware of your chance to enjoy the camaraderie of nöCamp at Timbercrest. Oh! Don’t we wish we had been able to join you. Got to have a great (socially distant) visit with Jenn & Rocky, Allison, and Darren last night including fun tales from “youcan’tcampbutwecan”. Looking forward to the next time we can share adventures!

      Thanks! This one is a short one but is helping us feel a little more comfortable with the concept of T@B travel and social distancing. Thinking we’ll head out on another trip in the near future.

Wicked The Musical

Wicked The Musical

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.

Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens

Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens

London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
