Travel Blogging

In my research so far, I've found a couple favorites for videos and blog posts about traveling. Figured I should share if anyone else wants to live variously!

1. Gone with the Wynns
Married couple, used to travel in an huge motor home, recently bought a boat. I can't imagine sailing everyone! Can't wait to see their sunset pictures.

2. Less Junk < More Journey
Another married couple, but with a toddler this time. And awesome accents. I love when they make fun of each other.

3. The Long Long Honeymoon
Haven't watched too much of these two (obviously another married couple) but they tow an Airstream, so they have lots of good towing tips. They also aren't full time travelers, but I'll give them a pass if they can teach me how to tow!

4. Project Gap Year
Just heard about these guys, a family from Lincoln! They are either about to leave, or just left for their year on the road. Their twist: no rv or travel trailer! Just driving around in their car, and eventually flying to Australia. Really looking forward to following their year in real time!

So you want to tow a camper...

Finally found a nice chart for all the makes and models with two capacities. Obviously, check the make's website and actual information on your car if you are going to start towing, but this is a great place to start for looking for the right car to tow the right trailer for us!

The RV dream

The hubby and I have a new five year plan. We're going to save like crazy, and then do a full year on the road. Get a used SUV to tow a small trailer. Bigger than a tear drop, but smaller than a 5th wheel. We'll start after school is out with a going away party at Mahoney because that's where life starts for us. Then we'll head up north, getting to Alaska by the summer solstice to see 24 hours of sun, come back through Seattle and Portland to visit friends, and SLC and Denver. Swing back through Nebraska at the end of summer in case anything needs to be fixed or anything went wrong, and then the northeast for the fall! Hang out in FL for December and get seasonal jobs at a UPS Store. Refill the bank account a little. Visit the Keys. Stick to the south for January and February. We gotta figure out the nitty gritty still, but the idea is taking shape.

So of course, I've been looking at trailer floorplans like it's my job. I may have found my ideal trailer today. It is ADORABLE! And has a separate bedroom, which I think is a priority for me. We'll see if the hubby likes it, it doesn't have a couch for him to lay on but maybe the dinette will do?

I present, the Vintage Cruiser by Gulf Stream, in aqua. Obviously. Now I need to go find one to see in person!

And the video, so you can fall in love too!
