I rarely write publically about my stays while traveling, but this stay needs a loud and enthusiastic review. One of my Romatic fantasies has been to stay in a classic, original, and historic manor house in England. And I never thought it would be possible through Booking.com. Our host Helen lists her Grade 1 three …

The Crazy Mountains and Beyond
Last Wednesday, July 1st, we hit the road again and this time we were blessed to have nearly a week away without internet or phone service. Our journey first took us from our home in Polebridge, Montana to West Glacier where we had a parting rendezvous with friends. A group of us were greatly surprised …
Friendship’s 5.03.19
We left Brownwood Texas happier than a clam digger on Martha's Vinyard. Great people hosted us, fed us, took us on safari, and let us fish their "tanks" for huge large mouth bass. We got to see a perfectly planned and executed, small town, war memorial, and we attend a bible study with the locals. …
Catching up! 4.27.19
Thinking back.... We left the white sands of Fort Pickens and camped at Davis Bayou in Ocean Springs Mississippi where we had our fill of the best and cheepest crawfish. We paid something like $3.95 per pound and further along we saw it for more than $8.95 per pound. The campground where we stayed was …

I've see seen a lot of road and lots of stuff on our retirment tour; almost six thousand miles and many, many dozens of cities and sites. Surely, so far, we have chosen our favorite sites, parks, campgrounds, restaurant's and roads. But we have also had fun and emotional experiences along the way. I must …
Gainsville to Fort Picken’s
It has been a quite busy trip and it has also been difficult to find time to write. Tonight is the exception. There is a line of strong thunderstorms heading our way and lightning is flashing all around us. It's only 9:30 pm at present, and we retired early, it was a long day and …
Out to Pasture & More!
Mom's Pool We will be hunkered down in Orlando, at my mom's house, for a couple more days and we are happy for this brief respite after all our adventures. We need this time to refresh, do laundry, clean the van, get reorganised, and fix the power steering. Yep, the power steering bracket broke again! …
Braggadocious
Some might say, "I can't do what Bob's doing, isn't he's praising himself for his own achievements?" Or some might say, "He's awfully proud of himself; his vehicle, his life, his adventure!" Well believe it or not, I get it! I'm not a shy guy! But my intent is not to speak too proudly or …
Why Lord?
Sometimes it is just best to live our lives as the bible says than to try and figure out life's inequities. One lives in a shack, another in a Castle. I'm greatful for all that I have been given and who I am today! We love meeting new people along our journey and cherish old …
The “Friends and Family” leg of our journey.
Many of you have privately asked, "Where are you?" Well, no worries, I have not lost my mind, returned home, or decided to stop blogging about our retirement tour: our retirement tour has not ended! In fact, our old van has performed marvelously (We did need to get the power steering bracket re welded by …
