In yesterday’s blog I told you that our friends Stu and Donna McNicol were going to be passing through after getting off a Carnival cruise ship in Port Canaveral. We agreed to meet at Dustin’s BBQ in Edgewater, and Donna thought they would be there about 11 AM. I also told you in the blog […]
Freedom of the press. It’s a term that is thrown about by many people who have absolutely no idea what it means. I see it quite often in the Living The RV Dream Facebook group that I help John Huggins manage. We have very clear rules on what can and cannot be discussed in the […]
Definition of potpourri – 1: a mixture of flowers, herbs, and spices that is usually kept in a jar and used for scent. 2: a miscellaneous collection. The second definition above pretty much describes today’s blog. This is the third in a collection of miscellaneous thoughts and info that I’m sharing because I really don’t […]
Definition of potpourri – 1: a mixture of flowers, herbs, and spices that is usually kept in a jar and used for scent. 2: a miscellaneous collection. The second definition above pretty much describes today’s blog, a collection of miscellaneous thoughts and info that I’m sharing because I really don’t have anything else to talk […]
I know we live in a different world than the one I grew up in. I know that there have been a lot of changes. Some of those changes have been very good and some not so good. Life is like that, I guess. But whatever happened to education? When I was a youngster in […]
Daytona Beach’s Bike Week is just about over, and even though I’ve owned a bunch of motorcycles in my life, I have to admit that I’m looking forward to a little more peace and quiet instead of the constant rumble and roar of motorcycles day and night. We live about 20 miles south of Daytona […]
There is absolutely no question you can ask on an Internet forum that won’t get you a dozen immediate replies, and another 20 or so by the next day. Some of that information may prove useful, but a lot of it is coming from Internet experts who will convince you they know everything there is […]
There was a long thread on the Living The RV Dream Facebook group last week about the dangers (or perceived dangers) of RVing in Mexico. Some people said it was a place they would never take their RVs because crime is out of control and the cops are just as crooked as the criminals, while […]
My dad always used to say that the only thing guaranteed about life is that it is constantly changing. What was true yesterday may not be real today, and what we think is impossible today might become reality tomorrow. And so it is with one of the most popular RV resources that I know of, […]
People are funny animals. It always seems like no matter how much they have, a lot of people expect even more and are disappointed when they find out that things don’t always work that way. Yesterday somebody in the Living the RV Dream Facebook group wanted to know why they make RVs with washers and dryers, […]
I’m sure some of you have been around long enough to remember Freddie the Freeloader. If not, he was a lovable hobo who appeared in skits on the old Red Skelton TV show. Freddie went out of his way to avoid working any time he could but he was always first in line to take […]
How long do you wait before you stop to fill your RV’s fuel tank? A thread in John Huggins’ Living the RV Dream Facebook group is discussing that topic, and by coincidence, I also got an e-mail from a reader the other day telling me that he learned not to trust his fuel gauge after […]
Who are these modern day gypsies who spend their lives on the road? What prompted them to leave their former homes and communities for a life on wheels? Each week we will introduce you to some of the fulltime RVers we meet in our travels and those who read this blog. I decided to post […]
Our last day at the Tampa RV Show was as busy as all of them. We walked for miles, saw lots of interesting RVs, and met lots of nice people. But we were sure ready for it to be over. That place wore me out! On Saturday John and Kathy from Living the RV Dream […]
