All the times she’s said yes. Yes, I’ll go to Vermont to look at tiny homes. Yes, I’ll visit you in Switzerland. And Colorado for the Pikes Peak Marathon. Yes, I’ll marry you. Yes, let’s plan on this crazy year-long trip. Yeah, let’s do a podcast about it.

Podcast: Jessica
We met up with a fellow bus owner, Jessica Messer, at a winery called MAWBY in Traverse City, Michigan. As we drank our wines, she told us about her adventures in and around Lake Michigan as well as her plans to turn her bus, Poppy, into a professional mobile party service.
Ontario and Quebec
It’s been a lot of driving and a lot of sightseeing and a lot of meeting people over the past week. We had a magical stay north of Gatineau with some new VW acquaintances, Brad and Susan. They shared their lake home (and their red wine) with us. The fall colors were amazing. Then weContinue reading “Ontario and Quebec”

Did you know we are live on the radio every Tuesday? As part of our partnership with Happy Productions, we call in every Tuesday at 11 a.m. Central Time (so noon for most of our friends and family in Eastern Time).

A good beverage can do so much more than quench thirst orContinue reading “Review: Orchard Girls Cidery”
Playlist: Canada
O Canada! What a country! The sights make my heart sing. Fortunately, my heart songs aren’t available on Spotify. So instead here’s a few tunes that mention our northern neighbor. It’s a bit of a Last Waltz reunion here…
Border Crossing
Crossing into Canada is no small task right now. When we were staying in Lubec, a local man said very flatly, “The Canadians—they don’t want you.” And that is probably true. America’s response to COVID has been an embarrassment and frankly we put more than ourselves at danger by being so collectively irresponsible.
Maine: the last part
Maine was wonderful to say the absolute least. Picturesque. Friendly. Quiet. We had originally planned to spend 4-5 days in Maine. We ended up being here for 14 days and enjoyed nearly every minute of it (especially once we got north of Portland).
