Hello, 1979? We have your bus.

Happy Birthday, Miracle

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.

Toronto in review

We only had a minute in Toronto—at least that’s how it felt. (Fun fact: Toronto is the seventh-largest city in North America with a slightly smaller population than Houston. So not everything is bigger in Texas.) We had a nice, relaxing evening sitting on the deck of Peter and Andrea’s home in downtown Toronto andContinue reading “Toronto in review”

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.

Podcast: Joe

When we met Joe outside that brewery in Xenia, we had been driving by in our bus and saw a really sharp looking bus. Joe is a one-man bus-renovating machine.

Podcast: Kevin

Grab a cup of Blue Bus Coffee, everyone. That’s Kevin Anderson’s own coffee company, by the way. Rest assured, you won’t need the jolt to keep you awake though. Kevin has some wild stories to tell from his time riding around out west.

Maine, part 3

Acadia National Park—it’s well worth seeing. We did the seaside trail walk, which allowed us to see some of the more famous spots. We also hiked South Bubble and Acadia Mountain. Although we did wake up early enough to summit Cadillac Mountain for its famed sunrise hike, the trailheads were already packed. We opted toContinue reading “Maine, part 3”

Maine, Part 2

We slowed down a bit as Miracle is convalescing, which means slow walks and eating more seafood. It’s not all that bad, I suppose.

Podcast: John Wilson

John is a man who came prepared for an interview. He had a ton of stories about the two buses he has owned—one that we drove around Chicago and the other that he calls The Chalk Bus.
