Our final stop in the desert (this time around!) was at Borrego Springs, a fabulous wrap-up to our desert adventures. First of all, Palm Canyon Hotel and RV Resort was delightful! It had a very fun vibe, a wonderful burger restaurant (with salad and sweet potato fries for Michele), and a funky little bar that served delicious margaritas (concocted by

We continue to work on the balance between planning and serendipity. While the broad strokes of our trip really do need to be planned carefully, once we arrive at a site we allow for a fair amount of wandering and the associated delightful discoveries. A few of those experiences:  Tanque Verde Swap Meet: The night we arrived in Tucson, we

We discussed the power of experience in an earlier post. For us, Route 66 was a “non-experience” (and we fully recognize that might not be a popular opinion). Admittedly, we only saw a small portion of the storied road (Kingman, Seligman, and Oatman), and it was the dead of winter… but that particular stretch of the road was a bit

While jumping from location to location, we tend to listen to three different types of content: 1st Wave on SiriusXM (because… 80’s music, of course), various comedy channels, or The Dave Chang Show podcast.

If you told us a year ago that we’d spend (and enjoy) a month in a Las Vegas campground, we’d say you didn’t know us particularly well. After all, we don’t gamble, and there are only so many circus shows one can see (and by that we mean…afford). It turns out, however, that we loved our time in Vegas! You

Actually, it’s both. One of our day trips from Desert Hot Springs was to Salton Sea, which the California Department of Parks and Recreation describes as “one of the world’s largest inland seas and lowest spots on earth at -227 below sea level.” The body of water was created when the Colorado River flooded and crashed the canal gates leading

  On November 22, we accomplished something we’ve been talking about for a while. We finally drove across the US! It’s funny, given the scope of this trip, it was almost an afterthought— ”Hey, guess what.”  “What.” “We just officially drove cross-country!” “Oh yeah, I guess we did.” Our first stop in California was Desert Hot Springs, just outside of

Over the course of our careers, we’ve often been guided by the mantra of “figure out what you want your life to look like, then figure out how to finance that life.” As we’ve begun to think about what we want our lives to look like going forward, geography has been a significant consideration.
