We are racking up the non-RV experiences this year. Our latest epic field trip was on our Alaska cruise where we explored the Inside Passage region of southeast Alaska, and it was truly amazing. We already know we definitely want to go back for some land-based adventures by RV. Who has been to Alaska by RV? Rental or your own RV? Share your tips, tricks, and lessons-learned in the comments below.

It was such an honor and so much fun to be featured on our friends’ podcast The Spritz. They have a cool podcast about food, fashion, travel, and more. Their episodes are full of fun 🤩!

We ventured out of the RV for some vacation-style travel last week.

First we braved the big-city streets and got the rig to an "RV Park" (aka "parking lot" 😂) just across the river from NYC and spent a day exploring the High Line Park and Hudson Yards. The view from The Edge is amazing !!

Then we boarded the Oasis of the Seas for the epic group cruise hosted by Today is Someday by You Me and the RV with our travel agency (ViaVista Voyages by Dream Vacations). It was a non-stop, action packed 5 days to Saint John, New Brunswick, and Halifax, Nova Scotia. So many really wonderful people in our group of 104 🥰.

We explored Saint John by kayak, on foot, and on bicycles (phewee that was a challenge!) and enjoyed a leisurely day discovering the beauty of Peggy's Cove outside Halifax.

Our sea days were blessed with smooth sailing and sitings of whales 🐋 and a huge pod of dolphin 🐬 and fun group gatherings and activities 💓.

We definitely want to go back to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia for an extended time in the RV, so if you have any tips and/or must-see/do places, let us know in the comments below 🤩.

Who else has cool Bay/Garage doors!!! Obviously these roads are not the only ones we’ve ridden. Too many to list.

Hanging out at our favorite FL beach destination this morning, reflecting on the past year and pondering the year to come and where our travels may take us. We couldn’t resist snapping a pic to give a shout to one of our favorite destination / lifestyle influencers — Hello from the Suncoast of Florida to Nicki and Carlo. Happy, healthy New Year to All 🎉🥰!

It's been a Back to the Future couple of weeks, in the best way. Five years ago today, we were boarding a plane back to CLT after spending 10 days in the magnificent Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, and greater Jackson Hole area with our hearts inspired and our minds racing to figure out how we could transform our lives to prioritize having experiences together. We thought it would be a great way to celebrate that decision by returning to the area that sparked Our Epic Field Trip.

If you've never been to this area, we can't say enough that you should come sooner rather than later. We can share our pictures and attempt to describe the amazingness . . .

- black glass rivers sparkling as the low slanted light scatters diamonds in the riffles
- losing count of all the shades of blue you see while looking at Yellowstone Lake under clear skies
- dappled verdant sunlight through stately pines
- thundering waterfalls through sharp v-shaped canyons
- steaming thermal features exhaling ancient breath from the center of the earth
- the aggressive brash Teton range flexing its chest at the stoic brooding older brother Yellowstone mountains.
- the ever present possibility of encountering iconic wildlife

We could go on and on but others have written better words and taken more gorgeous pictures, and ultimately words and pictures can never really have the impact of actually exploring this place.

Coming back here has just confirmed that our crazy leap of faith into the unknown and uncertain future was the right choice for us. We have no regrets and are primed for more!

The past two weeks in Colorado have been magical. The Crested Butte and Creede areas are a little more "off the beaten path" than much of Colorado, and sometimes we felt like we had whole mountains to ourselves. We hung out with friends, did some amazing Jeep rides, toured the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Crested Butte, learned about mining history at Last Chance Mine, dipped our toes in the Rio Grande, picnicked by alpine lakes, and so much more ! Even though we've been to Colorado so many times, we still kept saying WOW! and couldn't get enough of the beautiful scenery, spectacular wildflowers, and cool mountain temperatures. Of course, we'll be back 🥰.
