What a full big day! With so many interesting opportunities to pursue today, I was torn between teaching our morning yoga class vs attending the SWAP Meet (think large flea market / garage sale, oriented towards RVers). slaDE was happy to lead the morning class through an hour of breathing and stretching. He even made [...]
As promised, here are the notes from our Healthy Living seminar at Alumapalooza 2011. We had such a great time at the seminar, offering tidbits on healthy lifestyle choices one can make (which we personally try to live by in our daily lives). I truly hope that you find some useful information here (Airstreamers, [...]
With very little sleep and a lack of desired preparation for today’s ‘Healthy Living on the Road’ workshop, I was running on pure adrenaline in addition to being a wee bit nervous about standing up teaching about what I deem healthy choices in my life. slaDE was laid back and open to me being the commander to [...]
To start the day off brilliantly, we decided that I’d offer to make Vita-Mix smoothies (in small sample cups — recipe Day #1 is published at the end of the post) for each of the students that turned up to class. I’ve always been an adamant believer in a hearty nutritious breakfast, and with the [...]
Day One officially began yesterday with the stream of Airstream die-hards starting to trickle in, arriving from all corners of North America (with California potentially being the farthest attendees). Today on ‘Day Two’ slaDE and I kicked off the event with our early morning yoga class in the big top tent. Much to our surprise, the [...]
Alumapalooza 2011:
The benefits of arriving a day early at a rally is to see the evolving and birthing of the event. However, Alumapalooza isn’t just any Airstream gathering. I can personally attest to this statement with this being our 2nd year of attendance here in Jackson Center. There is a magic behind the [...]
Relaxing …. breathing …. settling in …. Airstreaming …. Alumapaloozing
I love this poem posted by Tom Nugler in the Airstream AirForums. It pretty much sums up the whole experience here in Jackson Center:
Long driving, Heat scorching, Friends meeting, Sun burning, Nights cooling, Seminar taking, Winds blowing, Fire breathing, Goodie buying, Factory [...]
Here I am professing that I don’t need any more stuff, and what do we do and go? Spend money on something that wasn’t totally necessary. In my mind anyway, it didn’t seem like a required addition. But slaDE has been on the lookout for a high-rise truck cap ever since we started our journey. [...]
Holy wind! The drive north through Oklahoma and Kansas, right through Iowa and to Illinois kicked our butts gas mileage wise. Not only has the price of diesel skyrocketed, the winds continuously throttled our trailer, crosswind for ¾ of the journey. Compared to our average fuel mileage towing of 18 mpg, we averaged 15 mpg [...]
Our Airstream (named ‘Airabella’) is 20 years old this year. A remarkable feat for any trailer which resides in tip top shape, considering the age. But Airstreams are well constructed beautiful icons that have a history and reputation for being well built, retaining their longevity, appeal and salability. However, as with many things of maturity, [...]
