My husband and I enjoy traveling the world, and are drawn to locations where we can SCUBA our hearts out. We are clearly water babies. When not diving, we could be found river rafting, jet skiing, or simply chilling on a beach. We are always asked about where we go, how we pick our destinations, what we learn while there, and how we manage our travel budget. This little blog started as our way to share that information. Life has thrown us curve-balls, as it is known to do, and we are now both retired, have sold off most of our belongings, and have begun traveling the lower 48 States in our teeny-tiny camper. We met our goal to visit as many National Parks as we can. Now we are sailing the Caribbean to find a place to settle down.
Choosing to RV it around the country to see all the National Parks and lower 48 states means we can take our time, take as many breaks as we want/need, and we can stay as long as we want at each destination.

New Year, new me – that means posting on the blog again! Yes, a day late, but we had to go see what they consider to be a polar bear plunge down here in Florida….lots of costumes, lots of awesome silliness, and far too many speedos (ew). We have been told by family that they … More Happy 2019!

Ingredients: 1 Can diced tomatoes with jalapeños 1 Can Kidney beans in chili … More Chicken Tortilla Soup
Safety is a topic that always seems to come up when we talk about future travel destinations. We are often surprised at the number of people who are honestly afraid to travel outside the United States. They point to reports on the evening news, or warnings from government entities, or share stories they heard about their … More Safe Travels
Budgets aren’t exactly fun, hot, or sexy. After Christmas budgets are especially cringe-worthy. While being an adult means many great things, such as going out to eat simply because you don’t feel like cooking, going to concerts and plays because a live show is always better, or taking last minute trips to visit friends because you can. … More Earning extra vacation dollars
The sun may be out in the Pacific Northwest, but I know better than to believe it means the temperature out there is much warmer than a margarita should be. Thoughts of these delicious drinks soon travel to our favorite little bar in our favorite vacation destination. I’m talking about the Monkey Business Bar in … More For the Love of Cabo
Happy New Year! The holidays are over and it is back to the real world us. This means getting back to normal eating habits and preparing our meals at home. Now, I don’t know about you, but we often find ourselves too busy to sit down for meals, let alone take the time to prepare them. Unfortunately, this … More Quick Breakfast Cups
Those who know me will not hesitate to say I am not the most graceful individual. In fact, friends and family use other descriptors: clumsy, accident prone, klutz… you get the picture. They’ve even threatened to wrap me in bubble wrap on more than one occasion! Between my ability to get hurt and our advancing ages, … More Safety First – Healthcare Out There
