Continuous Travelers – No Forwarding Address
Our recent (quick) decision to sell our home of 11 years and unload most of our belongings was not an effort to “run away” from home, but simply a choice of “running to” new experiences. We figured moving into our trailer would allow us to take our time as we explore new communities and enjoy…

Continuous Travelers – Moving On
We never intended to stay so long in Fort Bragg, however…we weren’t expecting such a nice campground just south of downtown. We weren’t expecting to find so many interesting coastal and forest hikes. We really weren’t expecting to have such gorgeous weather for the three weeks we’ve been here. Blue skies and little wind have…

Continuous Travelers Explore The Pygmy Forest
It’s been six weeks since escrow closed on our Oregon home, and just two weeks since we left Southern Oregon and headed south. We haven’t made it very far, but that’s okay. There is no timetable. We’re enjoying an extended stay along the coast of Mendocino, taking full advantage of a stretch of beautifully sunny…

Continuous Travelers Hit The Road
With the exception of our two camp hosts, we’ve outlasted every other camper who has pulled in for a night…or two…or three at Emigrant Lake. While our 2-week stay has far exceeded our expectations, we are now in danger of overstaying our welcome. With our brand new driver licenses tucked safely in our wallets, the…

Continuous Travelers
We continue to camp out in Southern Oregon while the last “loose end” issue is completed. We opted to keep our Oregon residency (for now) for a variety of reasons, but lacked a necessary Oregon mailing address. After Reg made numerous phone calls to a variety of agencies and businesses, we chose to contract with…

We Traveled To Europe With No Money
It seems like a long time ago that we were in Dublin, Ireland, but we have been home just four days. We flew over to lend moral support and a little muscle (IKEA bags can get heavy) for son Andrew and daughter-in-law Charlotte as they settled in the country they now call home. It was…

“Live A Bit More And Fear A Bit Less!”
The year was 1780 and Dublin was the second largest city in Great Britain and Ireland. With over one hundred breweries and distilleries operating in Dublin, John Jameson’s whiskey had a tremendous amount of competition. By embracing the spirit of “Live a bit more and fear a bit less!” Jameson Distillery thrived, expanding over almost…

Back To School With A Pint Of Guinness
It was the first day of fall classes at Trinity College and the campus was buzzing with activity. We were there to see the famous Old Library of Trinity College, home to over 7 million printed volumes, including extensive collections of journals, and a large collection of manuscripts and music and more than half a…
