Tombstone, May 21-22, 2022
It was hot during the day so we spent the day in Rover doing homework. In the evening we ventured out again after Olivia went to sleep to enjoy the hot springs pools. The pools themselves are small and not much fun for kids since they are soaking pools. As Olivia was the only kid…

Back to Mexico, May 18-20, 2023
The dentist office was going to pick us up on the Mexican side of the Zaragoza Bridge border crossing so we parked at a nearby Walmart, took and Uber to the border and then walked across the border. Crossing the bridge into Mexico cost fifty cents and other than that there were no other checks. …

Houston to El Paso, May 17-19, 2022
We were back on the road again and our first stop going west is San Antonio. We had stayed up past midnight visiting friends so we were off to a sluggish late start. We still got to San Antonio in the late afternoon and we went to the Six Flags for dinner. With our membership,…

On the Road AGAIN! May 14, 2022
We spent almost four months in Houston. We had a good rest and made many new friends during our time there. Our plan for Olivia to go to school though, did not work out. We registered her for school and she did so good there that after two weeks in 3rd grade they moved her…

A Big Decision Jan 9-13, 2022
After living in Rover for over 2 years we are starting to feel like a change of pace. Travel in 2022 looks like it will continue to be challenging. Covid cases are higher now than anytime in the past. It is highly unlikely that we will be able to go to China to visit family…

Alligator Wrestling! Jan 6-8, 2022
Olivia was feeling a little better the next day so we started our drive back up the Keys. On the way up we saw some very cute endangered Key Deer. We also stopped at the Turtle Hospital and took a tour. This was an educational and informative tour and the tour fees went to rescuing…

Highway 1 to Key West Jan 4-5, 2022
I had purchased a Gypsy Guide tour of the Florida Keys so we got up early and fired the guide up to head on down the Keys. The first stop turned out to be nearby right in Homestead. It was a large fruit stand with the memorable name “Robert is Here” and it had a…

MIAMI Jan 1-3, 2022
For the first day of the new year the first thing we did was our semi-annual financial review. 2021 was another good year for us with our net worth growing over 9% after expenses. Despite all the money we spent over the course of 2021 our total financial net worth has continued to increase. I…
