To minimize the risk of travel delays interfering with embarking on the Queen Mary 2 tomorrow, we scheduled our train ride into Manhattan so we’d have two nights before making our way to the ship. We did experience a two hour Amtrak delay due to severe flood damage in...
So much has happened since our last post. We'd love to go into greater detail about every adventure but it's time we got you caught up to where we are now. Hopefully we'll do a better of job of timely posts going forward. It was way back on Tuesday July 11th that we...
Making the decision to live in our cute little 2021 T@B 400 teardrop trailer means that for us a road trip isn’t necessarily a vacation so we approach meal planning the way we would if we had a fixed residence. We grocery shop and prepare most of our meals at home....
Today's travels have taken us a bit north of US-20 to Abbott Farms in Baldwinsville, New York. It's another great Harvest Hosts site. In accordance with Harvest Hosts Etiquette, we made a point to arrive early enough to be able to shop in the farm store. Since it's...
Today's route is US-20 eastbound across New York State. It's one of our favorite highways. Our first trip along this stretch was in September 1976 driving a 1971 Pontiac LeMans from Niagara Falls, Ontario to Glens Falls, New York. If memory serves us correctly we...
Last night when we were chatting with Laura, we mentioned how much we enjoy Johnson Estate Wines in Westfield, New York and she agreed, especially their Red and White Ipocras, spiced wines. It’s the oldest farm winery in New York State. We’ve visited a few times since...
At the Stormville Rest Area westbound I-84 near Fishkill, New York just east of the Hamilton Fish Bridge over the Hudson River, we spied something that looked out of place. Perched atop a fence post was a bowling trophy bearing a brass plaque that reads: Winner...
The Cooperstown KOA near Richfield Springs, New York is Home for tonight. We've enjoyed some state park stays but full hookups and a laundry room are in order for tonight to get ready for a week involving moochdocking, T@B storage, and a family visit. When we made a...
US-20 makes it way across upstate New York through some gorgeous scenery and we're enjoying poking our way eastward, taking our time and just enjoying the journey. This afternoon we aimed for Cayuga Lake State Park just southeast of Seneca Falls, New York on the...
At a stop for fuel in along NY-5 in Westfield, New York, we were invited to pause and enjoy the beauty of Lake Erie at Barcelona Harbor, the home of the Barcelona Lighthouse, the nation’s first natural gas lighthouse erected in 1829. We parked at the pier and poked...
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.

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
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.
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.
