Last weekend, we hitched up our little travel trailer and took a trip to Lakeside Casino and RV Park in Pahrump, Nevada. It was a one of a kind experience—one worth checking out if you happen upon the Mojave Desert near Vegas and have a camper with you. Of course, we experienced a couple of problems during our trip that I will warn potential visitors about as well… Continue reading

This past summer, in August, we took a weekend road trip to Laguna Beach, California.
We reserved a stay at the Holiday Inn, an older hotel without any ocean views, but nicely maintained and charming, with an outdoor pool and many pretty flowers and plants in the center of the hotel. We liked that it was located in the heart of town, with an excellent walkscore of 89/100.

We’re grateful that we got to see and to experience the famous beach town; in all honesty, we’re not sure we would return for a second vacation there. Read on for more information about why we liked Laguna Beach, as well as a word of caution about visiting the area. Continue reading

I wonder what it would be like to temporarily move to Dublin, London, or perhaps Amsterdam. I think it would be such an amazing experience to live abroad for a while. My husband and I might turn that dream into a reality someday.
Furthermore, what if I tried writing a book. I dream of it being finished and becoming successful. I start daydreaming of calling my loved ones and telling them that my book is available in stores all across the country. How wonderful that would be! Continue reading
This past weekend we decided to take our new Casita out for our first “shakeout” camping trip. I wish I could tell you our first camping attempt went smoothly and that everyone was gracious towards us, and that we were well-organized, and knew what we were doing. That’s not what transpired. This is a candid blog. So let me tell you what honestly happened. Continue reading
