See Park Video Early yesterday afternoon we arrived at Gulpha Gorge Campground in Hot Springs National Park and were immediately greeted by our delightful campground hosts, Becky & Gary. All sites here are first come and luck was with us, we were able to get side...
After getting situated at the national park campground, we four piled into our truck and made our way into the heart of historic Hot Springs. First challenge was figuring out where to park! From there we toured one of the historic bathhouses along Bathhouse Row and...
This is a first for us, traveling in caravan with friends from campground to campground. We have met up in campgrounds with friends Stan & Mary on more than one occasion and with T@B friends but we've never traveled in an RV caravan before today. We're traveling...
On Wright Patman Lake near Texarkana in eastern Texas, we're staying on Site A-5 in Clear Spring Campground. Mid-week, early November, there's ample availability of campsites but since we were planning a rendezvous with Sharon and Mike, we called (877) 444-6777 to...

This is our last stop on our trek across West Texas. What an amazing journey. It's an amazingly vast landscape and a booming economy. Like the rest of the West, we see more and more solar and wind farms spread out where just wildlife and rattlesnakes made their home...

By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
