Our day started really early, 0500. Why so early, you ask? Because there are high winds predicted today in Las Vegas. Up to 40 mph! Wind and RV's do not go together well, so if we could beat the wind and be parked early before it hits, that would be a good thing. So yes, we crawled out of bed at 0500 and started to get everything ready to roll. And we had to lock up the casita, the tool shack, and ..read more

They seem to be using this opportunity to work on infrastructure, the Strip is torn up, and practically ever ..read more

Visiting Florida in the Spring
Florida is a popular place to visit throughout the year, but especially on spring break. It’s a great time to visit as it’s right before the heat of summer, yet still warm enough to go out and enjoy outside. Those who live in harsh winter climates love to escape here especially.

Gonzaga didn’t play, (t ..read more

After breakfast, we went to the condo and hung out for hours discussing all sorts of topics including kids, gran-kids, sports, old movies, all the maladies we are succumbing to and how the “virus� will ..read more

October 18, 2019 The wind died down and is very
pleasant this morning. Made a nice breakfast trying to
use up what we have left on board. Pulled
most everything out of the storage areas and
rearranged based on our experience of three
weeks on the road. Did a deeper clean than usual which
should lighten the load when we get home. Even did
laundry which is cheap ($2.50)! There are
some very fancy ri ..read more
