Turning Over a New Leaf – An Overdue Update on Travel Life
After six enjoyable weeks in Punta del Este, Uruguay waiting for the 4Runner to arrive by ship from South America to the States we flew to Austin, Texas ready to pick her up in Houston. As an aside, if you find yourself in Austin near the airport, JD Market inside the Mobile gas station on […]
RV Roadtrip – A Few Months of Slow Travel in France and Spain
After a couple of months in the States we were ready to get back to Peppa and RV life in Europe. We hadn’t really planned anything out but were planning on taking things slow and just enjoying France and Spain. We flew into Paris and stayed near the Latin Quarter which is a part of […]
RV Roadtrip Comes Full Circle, More Ways Than One
At long last, an update on the intrepid travelers! It’s been quite a while and so this should serve as a good catch-up to what we’ve been up to and are planning for our adventurous future. Our last post, which was already way behind us in real time, had us come almost full circle around […]
RV Roadtrip From Cannes to Venice
After Monaco we were headed into Italy for a couple of days before going into Croatia. We had planned on doing a pretty long day heading from Cannes to just a bit outside of Verona, a little over 450 km and probably 6 or 7 hours of driving, one of our biggest driving days of […]
A Day in Monaco
From our camping at Camping Les Cigales in Cannes it was a relatively straight forward day trip to Monaco. We did the same bus to the central train station in Cannes and then a longer train ride to the Monaco Ville stop. In all honesty, it was a little confusing trying to figure out the right train. […]
RV Roadtrip From Peniscola to Cannes
Our visit to Peniscola was entirely too short and I was a bit envious of the retirees spending the whole season there. But, time was of the essence and we were still racing the Schengen visa so onward and upward! Setting off, our first stop would be back in France. We wanted to avoid Barcelona […]
Across the Pyrenees mountains to Andorra
This was a drive Shani was NOT looking forward to! Our plan was to leave the wonderful Le Floride Camping Village just north of Perpignan, France, and drive through the Pyrenees and into Spain and then on to Andorra. It’s not a particularly long drive but for us things take a lot longer than Google suggest […]
From Burgundy to the South of France
From Beaune we headed directly south toward Aix-en-Provence with the idea of maybe meeting up with our friends again when they got there. As it turned out, that really wasn’t in the cards but we still stayed in the area just in case. Our first destination was a small village called Orange. As camping sites […]
Travel in Burgundy – Destination Beaune, France
With a few days to spare before our friends were arriving in Beaune for our meetup, we decided to explore some of the other towns and villages in the Burgundy region. We were still getting the feel for living and traveling in the RV so some short trips would be good for our learning curve. […]
Leaving Paris and A Week Around Northern Burgundy, France
After Paris, it was time to head south to start registering our RV in France. Sens is a village about 1 1/2 hours south of Paris and Veron is just a bit further. As we are new to all of this it took us a bit longer. Our French agent Phill (a Brit) has his […]
