The day had arrived. Time for us to hitch up our trailer and make our way north. Our friend Amy has been on the verge of giving birth for what seems like forever :). And just in the knick of time for our departure, little Beckett Miles Wernig was born. The beauty of being Camping…
The desire for adventure and travel has seemingly always been within me, and Airstream living is a perfect match for me, for us. I feel most alive when travelling, discovering new places, different foods and more often than not , new friendships and communities. The nature of travel is forward motion … changing locations, and…
It’s been a pretty ‘dry’ winter for skydiving for me. Perhaps about 40 jumps in total over 5 months between Florida, Belize and Texas. You’d think that with ALL the gorgeous weather and cheap skydives (cheaper than Canada for sure!), I’d have stockpiled many a jump. However, sadly that has not been my reality. More…
I haven’t played charades since I was a child, but today, I was introduced to a new game called Dekan (Naked spelled backwards :)). Seven new friends joined in on the fun with slaDE and I. Each person had to list a person, place and thing on separate pieces of paper. All the items were…
Did anyone watch Jamie Oliver’s ‘Food Revolution‘ last Tuesday? I don’t believe that this is considered reality tv. The is more a documentary of life as we know it. This season, Jamie is focusing on the LA school system. And it appears that he’s up for a HUGE fight. And a challenge. For example, the amount of…
I’ve never had the joy of raising a child, so I’m quite a novice when it comes to various things baby. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve spent many a night babysitting and caring for children. But babies? Not so much. So I delved in to the realms of internet tutorials / Facebook advice from new…
We picked up our new fridge from PPL Motorhomes … a beautiful new Dometic RM2820. By purchasing the fridge through a local dealer, avoiding the shipping costs by picking it up with our Dodge truck, and with slaDE installing it himself, we saved over $800! That’s quite the savings on such an important and expensive…
I’ve packed and jumped parachutes for an awfully long time … almost half of my life, and I’ve made my share of misjudgements. Today was one such occasion. I’m wanting to reinvent my style in the sky, so I thought I’d go for a solo stiffly jump, reacquainting myself with the basics of body flight….
What a busy day! Amy is, as of today, now considered “full term” in her pregnancy (meaning that if she were to go into labor now, the baby’s lungs would likely be mature enough to fully adjust to life outside the womb). So you can imagine the excitement in the house, with so much going…
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,…
