When my sister arrived in Charleston she pulled out a long piece of paper with writing up and down it and announced “here is my list”. I was sure that it was her Christmas list of toys she wanted from Santa…turns out I was wrong. The list was of all the things she wanted toContinue reading “Checking The List”

We left the “natural” confines of Holden Beach (Dollar General to the left, Dollar Tree to the right) heading south to Folly Beach to arrive in Charleston for my sisters flight from SA. Little Al was the most excited because he has never met her, he was pushing Silver like never before. Pushing…rushing…can’t be late…hurry.Continue reading “Onward To Folly”

After a short 5 1/2 hour drive southeast, seemed like 10 pulling the trailer, we arrived at our next destination of Holden Beach. After a strenuous search for a home for Little Al, our last minute planning session found us at the Holden Beach RV Campground. This may not be the spot we would wantContinue reading “Beach Time”

Since we’ve been in Newland, life has been one full time Adult Summer Camp filled with dinner, boys/girls night out, golf, hiking, both rock and roll, and plenty of camaraderie and new friendships. Apparently since the season is winding down and everyone is closing up their summer home to go elsewhere, the need to haveContinue reading “Adult Summer Camp”

We left our beautiful spot outside Knoxville and made a 2 1/2 hour trip due east, with great stops along the way, to a more beautifuller (my word) spot just near Pineola, NC. Our new campground is a quiet “over 55” community with old men lurking on every patio visually inspecting your RV backing andContinue reading “East Bound”

Marc, “Hey Little Al, ready for a road trip?” Little Al, “I’m always ready, long one?” Marc, “No, just 3 weeks to NC and The Outer Bank plus a few side trips?” Little Al, “What about that chick, I think her name is Joanie, she going?” Marc, “She is, I never travel without her.” LittleContinue reading “Off…Again”

Our final leg of travel back home turned into legs of travel as we had several flights cancelled or delayed. It all started pretty nicely when we were upgraded to business class for our flight across the Atlantic but then were kicked in the “privates” from that point forward. In a nutshell…2 hours waiting forContinue reading “It’s a Wrap”

Joanie decided we should take it easy since we’ve been running pretty hard every day since we arrived in Spain. So…21,000 steps later…in a day we saw just about every side of Barcelona we have yet to see. The highlight of our “easy day” was Park Guell, a development designed for the rich to liveContinue reading “A Day In The Park”

We’ve spent the last 3 days around the much walkable and enjoyable city of Barcelona. We also decided to try out the “hop on, hop off “ bus but we found that we can easily walk anywhere we want to in half the time the full bus cycle takes. Highlights so far have been plentyContinue reading “Around Barcelona”

Well I just haven’t had the energy the last couple of days to post any updates about our trip. On Saturday I spent most of the day sleeping while the girls took a day trip to Edinburg. Turns out I can’t turn my back on them, they met new friends that taught them about theContinue reading “Last Days in Scotland”
