'Willie he tells me that doers and thinkers

Say moving is the closest thing to being free'

(Lyrics from 'Willie the Wandering Gypsy and Me' by Billy Joe Shaver)

 

We're planning lots of adventures in our motorhome. The explorations, learning, and fun have just begun, so we'll be adding new pages as our journey continues.

 

The topics below are in chronological order. Start at the top and work your way down to our latest entry!

 

As many of you may have noticed, we kept this page up-to-date during the first year of our life on-the-road. Since then we've been keeping a journal and taking photographs, but haven't completed all the pages. They'll be posted early in 2001.

 

We recently took a trip to Hawaii (without HarveyRV) and have included our experiences.
