Oh my goodness, this place is Caribbean beautiful. Heck, we’ve been to some places in the Caribbean that can’t measure up to Destin, Florida. We had no idea just how much we would like it here when we chose this as our stop for a few days. The sand is sugar white, dries to a soft powder, and brushes off…

This is our third trip to New Orleans in our RV. There’s so much more to this city than just the French Quarter and Bourbon Street. On prior trips we’ve explored the Garden District, WWII Museum, Civil War Museum, City Park, and on, and on. Since we’ve seen so much, we decided to stay at our campsite for a bit,…

We’ve traveled in our RV to New Orleans twice before, and each time the highway takes us through the bayou, we dream of being on a boat getting up close and personal with the creatures that inhabit the murky water, and moss covered trees. Well, today was our lucky day. After a little research and asking the locals, we settled…

The first time we took our coach and tow on a ferry I was both excited, and a little nervous. Logically, I know the ferries are used by commercial vehicles every day, and our RV wouldn’t throw a monkey wrench in anyone’s floating transport plans. I still imagined the whole thing tipping over under the weight of our coach, versus…

UPDATE! Videos added. Let’s hear it for better internet! After another fun night of wine and Mexican Train, we woke up hungry for breakfast. We decided to try a popular place, and sure enough, we waited a while for a table, right along with everyone else. Miller’s Seawall Grill is known for their breakfasts, and ours didn’t disappoint. Brent was hungry…

Built in 1892, Bishop’s Palace, known as Gresham House when first built, is one of the most ornate Victorian late 1800’s high society mansions in Galveston, and a historic landmark. It’s easy to imagine life back in Galveston’s glorious heyday when inside this beautiful home. There are a number of historic homes on and around Broadway in Galveston known as “The Broadway…

Galveston, OHHH, Galveston. I still hear your seawinds blowing… Full disclosure. The last time we were here I made the same reference on my old blog. If you hear the song in your head, you’re as old as me. If you don’t, well, it’s a catchy tune. Our dear friends, Brent and Jill, decided to join us for a few days…

Off the ferry and back on semi-dry land, we stopped for lunch. Staying true to our style, I found a local eatery off the beaten path. Well, not on the tourists’ radar, but our next stop was DEFINITELY on the local’s radar. Reviews of Davis BBQ and Cafe spoke of getting there early before the line is out the door, and you…

On the road for a bit, it was time to find a place to stop for lunch. We’re in a part of Texas that has plenty of fast food chains, but not many local eateries that are anything to write home about. Trip Advisor, Yelp, Urbanspoon, and Foursquare are all good to help steer one in the right direction. Heck,…

Neither Steve nor I do well with heights. I may be just a tad better than Steve, but that’s not saying much. Bolstered with liquid courage from The Menger, we headed over to the Tower of the Americas. It’s a 750 foot tall landmark in San Antonio offering unparalleled 360º views of the city. The elevator ride up is short, and of course…
