San Diego via Amtrac
There is an Amtrak station down the road from us, so we thought we’d take a train to San Diego and visit Old Town San Diego which is right next to the train station...
Brits of NFA tour the USA
Our plan to RV the US has been many years in the making; one of the most frequent questions I have been asked about it has been “…where will you travel to?”
My answer was mostly “West” since I have always been intrigued by the concept of ‘Hot but not humid’.
Well, now we are here (south-west), and one of the biggest joys of being here is the weather.
Today is November 7th. It is perfectly warm, sunny, and despite being a stones throw from the ocean, the humidity is incredibly low with a slight breeze.
Its is no wonder that the west coast is a highly desired location. After 28 years in the UK, where discussion of the weather is second only to that of ‘The Bins‘, weather became a big life factor (as is the British way). Here in Southern California, we have found its weather to be as near perfect as possible.

On Sunday we took a ride on Palm Springs Aerial Tramway up to Mt. San Jacinto State Park. The location was close to our ‘home’ but I still made sure we had plenty of...
We made it to Paradise Beach RV Resort, and got our home set up again. And headed straight for the beach
On Friday we took a trip to Joshua Tree National Park. As national park rookies we left the Van woefully unprepared, starting with me believing that the 34 minute drive to get there was...
On Tuesday (10/20) we drove from Ehrenberg to Lake Havasu City, a place we really enjoyed visiting in December 2023. We did not do much really, except window shopping and some wandering around, but...
After leaving Rio Grande Winery (New Mexico) we have stopped at a few places before we get to Carlsbad, Tucson RV park was nothing to write home about and only really served for our...
Our tour of the town was wide eyed and open mouthed.
On Saturday we thought we’d pay a visit to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Google says: The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is a 98-acre zoo, aquarium, botanical garden, natural history museum, publisher, and art gallery founded...
A quick post to cover a phenomenon that I don’t remember mentioning before. Traveling, especially across time zones is quite disorientating. Traveling west from Eastern time, to Central Time, to Mountain Time, to Pacific...
We are here in Tucson since we wanted to experience Tombstone (an hour from here) and visit the city. But first, a few thoughts about our drive across Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona: Yesterday...
Pro The US caters to road travelers in many ways, including a massive amount and variety of gas/petrol stations. So finding somewhere to fill up is not a big problem for most drivers. ....
We finally got across Texas. A state that is so large that Great Britain would fit into it nearly three times. We are spending a night at a Harvest Host in Las Cruces called...
We left Kerrville TX this morning and drove for 3-1/2 hours (250 miles) to reach Fort Stockton. (Stock image) . We are at Hilltop RV Park, which, as the name suggests, is on high...
During the last three weeks of our stay in Kentucky we picked up a seemingly endless horde of a species called Brown Marmorated Stink Bug. We have been finding on average 8-10 of the...
We arrived in Houston on Friday and stayed for two nights at Greater Houston Sports Club. We were made to feel very welcome by Kevin and his excellent staff. Of course, we had to...
We are going to see Tevan, Kevin, Reace, and Hazel today. We will stay at Greater Houston Sports Club for a few nights. I am hoping to get a chance to shoot at some...
Further to our post from yesterday, we actually left that same day instead of today. A good move as it turns out. We moved from the Navarre (white star) to Ponchatoula Louisiana. As validation...
Do we stay or do we go?
Day for Walmart, Washing, and Planning We changed our minds on the beach day and decided to do a few mundane things instead since the weather will be even better tomorrow. We did our...
