Currently living/working in: The Superfeet Supervan!!! Only 6 stops left on our NZ speaking tour and 4 weeks!! Current mood: I’m a little overwhelmed these days. Road life is blissfully chaotic and though we stay on top of most of it, being disconnected and on the go poses challenges. Road life is equally carefree, so…
Just in case you are wondering, it is NOT recommended to drive eastbound and jump 2 time zones in 2 days. I spent most of my last week jet lagged without ever stepping foot on a plane. This is because we drove nearly 2500 miles across the United States in a week for our NZ…
Once again, we realized we could take a “short” side trip, “not too far out of our way” on our drive from Vegas to Salt Lake City. So we visited Great Basin National Park in Eastern Nevada! Great Basin is now our 7th national park of this summer’s road trip. We certainly did not see…
Are you tired of hearing about California??? This is it … the last post with a quick recap of our New Zealand Speaking Tour stops, I promise. When we were planning our tour—which has been primarily West Coast-based—we debated how many stops to do in California. Do you guys realize how big of a state…
As I said in my last post, we hit 2 national parks in northern California and 2 in southern California. A visit to Pinnacles National Park was last minute when we noticed that it was “not too far out of our way” on our drive from San Jose to Fresno in between events. We cut…
California has SO many national parks, and even though we’ve been to many, we have not visited all of them. For this summer’s road trip, we made a point to hit Redwoods, Lassen Volcanic, Pinnacle AND Channel Islands National Parks (in that order, but spread across 2 weeks). I’ll spare you the overload and break…
We spent 5 days in the Bay Area. IF we were city people, San Francisco might be a good choice for us. We both have been a few times, and always have the same sentiments. But if traffic and mass amounts of people confirmed anything for us these last few weeks, it is that we…
It is time to unveil the innards of our summer home on wheels. Reminder: this van is BORROWED and we have to return it to Superfeet in late July after our NZ speaking tour (sniff sniff). But I digress. We have traveled more than 2,000 miles in Superfeet’s converted Sprinter van for since picking it…
