“Mother, Mother Ocean… I have heard you call; I’ve wanted to sail upon your waters, since I was three feet tall. You’ve seen it all. You’ve seen it all.” -Jimmy Buffett Ok, this line seemed appropriate for this topic, but to be honest, even though I’ve always LOVED being on the water, I never really …

Well, in the bus at least. I had been dying to spend time in the Florida Keys. I mean it’s like the Caribbean… in the U.S. Perfecto! After the FotoFusion event in West Palm Beach, we headed south. First to Miami, and then to Key Largo. (And, man, was the song “Kokomo” in my head …

This post is a little different from my usuals, in that it’s not about my own travels, but someone else’s. We’re currently parked at Liberty Coach, in Stuart, Florida, and one of our “neighbors” (meaning the bus parked three down from us) is Stu. After chatting a bit, we started talking about our recent travels. …

(First of all, does my headline say 2011??? What happened to 2010?!) After spending Christmas with my family in New Jersey, we booked it right out of the cold and back to Florida, just in time for Bussin’ 2011. So you’re wondering, “what the heck is that?” A year ago I would have wondered the …

For our holiday travels, we had to leave the bus behind and don wings (well, aluminum ones) to visit Colorado and then New Jersey. I had never been to Colorado, so I was way psyched, and I got a good taste of it since we visited Boulder, Denver and Colorado Springs. Here’s a recap: BoulderBen …

We finally hit the last state on our route south for the winter, and also our 30th state of the year (in the bus). We rolled in from Savannah and stopped first in Jacksonville. The first thing I must say about that is that we arrived there on Nov. 14th, which marked one year of …

Hi all, long time no blog! Yea, sorry about that. There’s been so much going on that, yet again, my poor blog got neglected. I’m going to play catch-up, but it might take a few posts to do that. So here we go. I left off at “America’s favorite rest stop,” South of the Border, …

My Dad is to blame for this post. Ever since I was little, Dad enforced this standard Thanksgiving tradition: After we sat down at the dinner table, but before we could eat, we would go around the table and say what we were thankful for. As a kid, I rolled my eyes at this, but …

Yup, you got it. Another installment of Odd America. This one is actually pretty well-known, but ya know, it’s still odd. It’s none other than South of the Border, America’s favorite highway oasis. Said another way, an insanely glorified rest stop off I95, just “south of the border” between North Carolina and South Carolina. And …

This month, we seemed to score perfect timing right across the board. Not only did we hit New England just as the fall color peaked, but we realized that we’d be passing through New York right in time for PhotoPlus, one of the biggest photography events in the world! Held every year in the Javits …
