Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

Birthday Fun
Today’s fun started days ago. There was a trip to H&R Trains down in Florida which started out as a search for a piece for Steve's vintage model railroad airport beacon but led to the acquisition not only of a vintage American Flyer boxcar but of a lightly used...
Metro Diner
When you walk into an eating establishment and you spot photos of Guy Fieri, you think you might be in for a treat. Indeed we had a fine dinner this evening at St Petersburg, Florida’s Metro Diner. This chain of diners offering amazing comfort food had it's beginnings...
Kitty Cats and Good Friends
One of the delights that we plan on every trip to Pinellas is a visit with Pete & Debi. Sometimes we’ll meet at a favorite eatery and other times we head to their place to just hang out for a while where they always ply us with good things to drink and delicious...

Buena Vista Social Club

Arriving in Havana
Lucky for us Arleene made a visit to Cuba this past September and is full of tips to help us get the most out of our visit. One of her suggestions was to be on deck and to watch as the ship pulls into Havana harbor. Wow! Between the early morning light and the...
Cienfuegos
It was with a least a little bit of apprehension that we made plans to take this trip to Cuba. We were both kids in Florida during the Cuban Revolution when a flood of refugees took up residence with us in Florida. So we’ve grown up knowing people that were glad to...
