We successfully navigated our 5th (or was it our 6th?) service appointment at the Airstream service center, right beside the Airstream factory in Ohio. Five might not seem like a lot, but the last three have been within a year, and we’ve had to scurry to Ohio each time to make sure we got to […]

What Does Comfort Mean?
We’ve been spending a week in a house, a real house, with a life-size kitchen and hot running water and actual bedrooms with doors that close and a hair dryer in the bathroom. A hair dryer! In other words: comfort. Yes, I’ve really enjoyed this house. The soft sofa, especially welcome the day after we both got […]
Back to the Mothership, Again
We are once more in Ohio at the Airstream factory and service center for repairs. Yep. We’re here for the fourth or fifth time, not because we keep breaking things (well, there’s that, too), but because this is the only factory and national service center, which means the mechanics here are excellent. And when they […]
The $1k Shower Door
I remember clearly the travel day last fall when we stopped at a strip mall so I could get more Tiny House glue at a Michael’s. We ate lunch in the trailer while we were parked, so I quickly threw the glue in the shower because that’s where my Tiny House bin lives. The Oversight […]
Fixing to Get
Yes, that’s the Airstream not in our site at Honeydale Park. For the first time in almost three months, we towed her out, but not for the spring leg of 2023 traveling. We were checking off the final, major item on our to-do list here this winter, which was to get new tires on the […]
Tracy the Cable Guy (aka: How He Installed Starlink)
Tracy’s been hard at work since we got here figuring out how our Starlink satellite system can be fitted for us. The whole thing is complicated, and, like with our solar and lithium battery set-up, I am not the person to explain it. I’m the one you’re stuck with, though, so here goes with a […]
Stationary for Three Months
Friends ask what we’re going to do for three whole months in Brownsville, Texas: the longest we will have stayed put since we hit the road. I raise my eyebrows (dramatically, because I’m on the phone or texting), and tell them about our to-do list. But what in the world would people without a house […]
Housekeeping in Texas
In the 2.5 years we’ve been traveling, we’ve stayed in the same place only 3 times (the Airstream lot in Ohio and near Tracy’s people in Iowa). This is the 4th, at what’s technically our home base north of Houston: an easy drive to our established doctors, our mailing service, and the county where the […]
Wash Day, Storm Day, Cousin Day!
We’ve had an eventful couple of days at the Airstream park, TCPC, in Tennessee. (If you missed my previous descriptions of the park, try here and here: then you’ll see that “eventful” also means “relaxing” and ”delightfully social” and <insert all kinds of positive words here>.) First Pro Wash and Wax! Sherri and Mooch turned […]
Two Days in Edmonton
(Okay, that top shot looks like I’m showing off my new haircut, but it’s the only picture I took of downtown Edmonton and therefore subject-appropriate. Plus, new haircut!) I drafted a post here about the two extra camping days we booked after Jasper, near Edmonton so I could see my friends there just a wee […]
