The Value of Giving Up Iceland is a fantastic and beautiful country – there’s no disputing that. However, all the moss covered rocks and impressive glacier-wrought mountains can’t combine to replace the elusive Northern Lights I’d hoped to see dancing through the polar skies during my Iceland excursion. When we decided to book the trip to Iceland seven months ago… Read More
Et tu Buc-ee? One of the things I will miss the most about Texas are Buc-ee’s stores. They’re amazingly huge gas stations with a store full of everything (literally) you could want.

We kept to a more southern route and ended up stopping in Fredricksburg for the night.… Read More

It might not be the never ending road trip we’re still aiming for in the future, but it is definitely going to be one heck of a month. The RV is outside the apartments waiting to be loaded with our bags for the next… Read More
