We weren’t sure exactly where we wanted to go once the Hood River Bluebird Wanderlodge Rally was over. We knew we wanted to stop and visit My Uncle and Aunt, head to Portland to visit my cousin and then to Victoria to visit Shahin’s cousin. So we moved just a little bit down the road…
Hood River Wanderlodge Rally
The past week we have been camped out at the Hood River County Fairgrounds with the owners of 18 other Bluebird Wanderlodges. I have to admit, at first, I was skeptical. I thought, worst case scenario, I would just stay in the coach and read a book. Shahin really wanted to come, but I thought it would be…
On the Road Again…Finally!
After a MUCH longer hiatus than we had planned, we are finally back on the road! After making the trip from Florida to California, and discovering some issues with the bus, we felt like we should take care of a few things before we hit the road again. It just took alot longer than we…
Honey, will you come take a look at this?
We have been back to the Bay Area for a couple of weeks and beside being busy with work and trying to get out of our home, we have had to deal with RV fixes left and right! And often I know something is awry when I hear “honey, will you come look at this”?…
Hidden Gem in the East Bay
After parking in front of Shahin’s Cousin Arman’s house for a couple weeks, we decided it would be nice for everyone if we got out of town for a bit. We found a park in Livermore that looked nice so we made reservations for 5 days at Del Valle Regional Park. The drive there was…
Adventures in Albuquerque (part deux)
Up with the sun has been the norm for us this trip. Whether because of the constantly changing time zones or just our excitement and eagerness for what’s next, we have been up early every day. In spite of not getting to bed until 4, we were up by 7 am having breakfast and trying…
Adventures in Albuquerque
The past few days have been pretty eventful and I haven’t posted anything about it here, so time to catch up. We spent a day in Las Cruces relaxing, catching up on work (Shahin) and doing laundry (Stacey). We had dinner at Si Senor with Gary’s family. Si Senor restaurant in Las Cruces, NM The…
Surprise in Las Cruces
The main reason we have been pushing so hard the past few days, was that we wanted to be in Las Cruces, NM by March 19th. Shahin’s step-mom, Mehry and her fiancé, Gary were in Las Cruces for Gary’s mom’s 99th birthday celebration! Congratulations, Nadine! Nadine at 99 years young! We left Fort Stockton around…
New Tires and Walmart Camping
One we got settled at Pine Lakes we started to worry about the tires. The subtle thump thump from the morning had gotten progressively more insistent throughout the day and sometimes, especially at slow speed was a loud WHUMP WHUMP! So we decided we better take the time and get the tires checked. We found…
More adventures in RV living…
We thought we would get an early start Sunday morning. We woke up early, and I took Dashi out for a nice walk around the neighborhood. The night before, we had looked up the time of sunrise in Mobile so I was expecting to start seeing light between 6:30 and 7, but at 6:45 it…
