Putting Words into Action

Believe it or not, I have been busy - EXTREMELY busy. This journey is full time and I am grateful everyday for the opportunity. Unfortunately, I don't always have the kind of time to share. Being asked to come back to talk to Ashley and Ren on GoneTrippin Podcast was a nice way to verbalize what has happened and will happen. Take a listen and catch up. I'm on the move! To listen: #47:Everyone But Two Part 2 And if you missed the first interview, episode #37, you can find it i

Biggest, Epic Trip, Ever

Let’s see…. Where shall I start? I suppose when asking this question, there is only one smart answer - where I left off. Technically, on here that would be the telling of my trip to Zanzibar last year, which I will finish - one day. I PROMISE. Because believe it or not, I do want to complete things, even long winded stories from far away exotic places. But in current times, I should start with the here and now. Like they say, “There is no time like the present.” And as much

What Choice Did I Really Have?

(left to right) My sister, father, and me on his back at Robert E Lee Park Originally, I was going to post about my experience during my 6 week-recovery period, insights, and reflections, now that I am concluding my second day of work since my return (still might do that later). Instead, I changed my mind about what to post when I returned home to see that there was a trailer in my parent’s driveway. This is more interesting. It is their trailer, and they are getting it prepa

This morning was not an early rise. Going to bed after 3:00 a.m. does not inspire you to jump out of bed. It was now a reasonable time for registration office hours. By the time we rounded the side of the registration office to pay up, a young man who was in the middle of some serious looking construction with 2 other men greeted us. He asked if we were in the Cruise America rental as he walked us inside. Quietly sitting in the corner at a table was young black teenage boy w

The sun briefly set and quickly rose again. It started off as another work morning and we were in the trailer for a while before we checked out of the campground. Since it was close to lunchtime, we were on our food crawl for our one big meal of the day. We weren’t too far from the University Alaska Fairbanks, which meant that there were lots of food options nearby. We decided that we wanted pizza and found College Town Pizzeria on College Rd. It was fairly busy around town:

[In the tune of Gilligan’s Island] A Six-Hour Tour… A Six-Hour Tour…

Today, I was going to be a baller. A shower taker caller. Denali RV Park and Motel has great-individual bathrooms. There may have been at least 10 or so. Instead of the dorm style bathrooms, each bathroom had a shower, sink and toilet. The shower required a $3.00 token for use. Each token earned you 5 minutes of hot shower. By this point of the trip, neither of us used the shower in the RV. If we needed to we could have, but why do that when you can have more space. The other

Twice as Nice

**Full disclosure: I am writing this during the layover in LA to Maui. Our flight out of Anchorage left at 11:50 pm last night. I may be delirious. All posts will be reviewed later for accuracy and nonsense and pics** In the a.m., I strolled over to the office to ask some questions about the park. At the desk was a lovely silver haired, retired couple. Their hometown is Knoxville, Tennessee and they had arrived in early May and will be there until September working. Another t

Anchorage, Alaska: Anytown, America

This morning we got up after a very cold night in the trailer. We reassessed our RV needs for a warmer night’s sleep. Another trip to Wal-Mart was going to be necessary to get more blankets, as well some household items we hadn’t considered (hand soap). As we drove to our second Wal-Mart within a 24-hour period, I began to notice a few things: 1.) Downtown Anchorage, or the outskirts anyways, could be Anytown, America, 2.) There were way more black people in Anchorage than I

Weary Travelers

First and foremost, we have arrived in Anchorage, Alaska and we have arrived in one piece. Second, I am going to do what I can to keep everyone posted when I can, but I will not be able to vouch for the clarity or consistency of any of this. I like to be up front about the situation. I am feeling a bit delirious and slightly out of sorts. Our flight left at 7:00 am, which required an airport arrival at 5:30 am. There was really no true sleep the few hours before I had to wak

50th Maryland RV S(now)

What would you do for the shot? What lengths would you go to for the purpose of getting something accomplished? When I noticed that the Maryland RV (Recreational Vehicle) show was coming in February, I thought it might be a good idea to go. I am always interested in going to see what is new and innovative in the RV industry. For those that have never been, it is like a car show. For those that haven’t been to a car show, you should get out more. It’s good for your brain
