Taking advantage of another long weekend - Part 1 San Xavier

We had a three day weekend last weekend due to the Presidents Day holiday.  I'm still getting used to having some different days off during the year.  We took this opportunity to visit a few places on our list and it was GREAT!

The first place we visited was Mission San Xavier del Bac.  If you get the chance it is a beautiful mission located just south of Tucson and is the oldest European structure in Arizona.  It's free, doesn't take long to see, and well worth your time.

No Gettysburg this year :(

 Karen and I decided to forgo the trip to Gettysburg again this year.  Last year it was the kitchen nightmare, this year it's timing.  We couldn't work out the timing and logistics with work and things going on around the house to get ready for AZ.  I'm kinda bummed, yet I'm excited at the same time because we are working on some things that may have a big impact on this blog in the future! We won't spill the beans, but we have some cool things planned for AZ and elsewhere this winter and maybe even a bigger announcement sometime next year! 2020 has been a disappointment to a almost everyone and especially to those that love to travel.  It's encouraging to see the surge of new RV owners out there learning to love the lifestyle we've embraced.  If you are new to RV camping Welcome!  If not, remember to be patient and help out the new guys, you were in that boat before.   Happy travels!  Be Safe!  Wear a Mask!  Don't take candy f...

There and back again....

We had a great two weeks in Michigan.  It was nice to visit family and friends although extremely hectic since I only took 1 day off during the time.  It seems we were constantly busy, going places to visit people, having people stop by, or driving.  Still it was a good time. Plans from here?  Well, we've decided to cancel our annual Gettysburg trip again.  This time it seems that there is just too much to do in preparation to leave again for AZ, so we've decided to stick around.  The Covid would limit what we can safely do too much for us to go this year. We will however, still be making our trip back to Michigan in October, immediately followed by our return trip to AZ!  More to come as we get closer.

Crazy World

I can't believe it's almost August and time to start accelerating our plans for heading back to AZ for the winter.  We have the campground booked starting November 1st and that seems both far away and right around the corner at the same time.  Of course with all that is going on right now it makes planning a little more challenging, but we are forging ahead. We've found traveling in an RV to be probably one of the safer ways to go especially on long trips.  Here are a couple of reasons why we like the RV for travel during a pandemic. 1.  Gotta Go?  Use the trailer! - Those long drives are often punctuated with stops for fuel and those stops almost always involve someone using the bathroom.  If you travel with an RV you have your own bathroom and you don't have to risk exposing yourself to the maskless horde.  Just jump in the trailer and use the facilities while the tank is topping off. 2.  Hungry?  Use the trailer! - Fuel stops also provide ...
