The Bay of Fundy, located in the Canadian province of New Brunswick, boasts the highest tides in the world. Touted as one of the seven wonders of North America, it’s in league with the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Niagara Falls, Yosemite, the Everglades, and Denali. In mid-September of 2019, we headed to Fundy National Park, the […]

It’s time to return to the Maritimes! As I mentioned in our last post, we’re finding our way back to ‘normal.’ Part of that means catching up on our travel-related posts before we start roaming again. So return with us, dear friends, to early September of 2019, when we explored the pretty and historic village […]
One of these days in the not-too-distant future, the world will open up again. When it does, one of the places I would love to return to is Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. In early September of 2019, we spent five idyllic days in this historic, vibrant fishing town. Exactly The Kind Of Place We Enjoy Some […]
At this time last year, we were finishing up our two-month project of clearing out my parents’ home and preparing it for sale. And we were happily anticipating resuming our travels. Instead, we’ve been stranded in Florida for more than a year. After much (exhausting) discussion, we’ve decided to stay here for a while longer. […]
When Eric and I contemplated taking to the road full-time eight years ago, we had a cat. Spot was eighteen years old, highly opinionated, and her only outings in a vehicle had been visits to the vet. Much to our surprise, Spot adapted extremely well to traveling life. But when she passed away a year-and-a-half […]
Thank you, dear friends, for your condolences on the loss of my mom. Reading your words of support and kindness helps me as I adjust to the reality of life without my mom and dad. Helping my folks navigate the last years of their lives was hard. Still, it’s painful to realize that I will […]
I don’t mean to give you whiplash, but our blog is heading back to the Maritimes now. We will be in Florida at least through next spring, and I’m determined to get our blog caught up before we get back on the road. (Hope springs eternal, and all that.) Picking up where we left off […]
As of Wednesday, almost everything has been ticked off the ‘to do’ list on the remodel. Well, not everything—but enough so that the house is comfortable and the contractors are gone. We had a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, including being back in the house, the weather cooling off, and the fact that […]
In late October last year, we spent a few days in Salem, Massachusetts as we made our way back to Florida from the Maritimes. (This post is way out of order in our travels, but this blog is obviously perfect for today. Plus, it’s 2020. I need an escape.) In 1692, the infamous Salem witch […]
In 2019, we spent an idyllic summer exploring Canada’s Maritime Provinces, followed by a leisurely fall journey down the east coast of the U.S. It seems like a lifetime ago, and an alternate reality. I’ve been wanting to write about those adventures for almost a year. Instead, my attention has been consumed by surviving the […]
