This was one of the biggest surprises on our Year On The Road RV adventure. We expected great things from places like the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone, but Canyonlands dazzled with its unexpectedly compelling scale & its own geological marvels. #Travel #RVTravel #AYearOnTheRoad #NationalParks #NPS
Now working on a new feature for #PulpCityMag, with the story of #DrewThomas, his family, and the astounding The Magic Show at #GrandeLakesResort. Stand by for another piece in what is rapidly shaping up as an Orlando's Got Talent series! #Travel #MagicShows #Orlando
This was an all-time hit for us - the start of the annual cownose ray migration from the Panama City Beach area each September. Susan took this photo from a helicopter - minus its door! - and it garnered a record number of views for us on FB in 2015.
Three years ago, we'd just arrived at #YellowstoneNP on the Wyoming leg of our Year On The Road RV adventure, to be met by immense landscapes and wildlife. It was a true highlight of the trip, & staying at #FishingBridgeRVPark was the best way to visit. #Travel #RVTravel #AYearOnTheRoad #Wildlife
One of the major signposts along the route of our Year on the Road RV adventure (2023-24), the truly epic Mighty Mac in upper Michigan... #Bridges #Michigan #MightyMac #UP
Want to know what a Saharan-dust Sunset looks like here in Florida? This is the look two nights ago as the usual late afternoon/early evening storms passed by and left pretty clear skies - with a real golden vibe... #Travel #Florida #SaharanDust #Sunsets #BrilliantSunsets
Four images that sum up the USA for us, all from our grand Year On The Road RV adventure, a photographic nod to today's epic Independence Day.... #GodBlessAmerica #250thAnniversary #IndependenceDay #4thOfJuly #Semiquincentennial
Here's another new-to-us coffee shop in Orlando that is WELL worth seeking out. #JabalCoffee brings a taste of the Middle East to Central Florida with a Yemeni style & flavor profile that is absolutely gorgeous. Photos don't do it justice - the tastes definitely do! #Travel #Orlando #JabalCoffee
On this day 3 years ago we were in Gillette, WY, settling into a fab @harvesthosts.bsky.social venue of #OurWyomingLife. A place to stay & a place to play (with their animals!). Definitely a major step on our Year On The Road RV adventure! #Wyoming #Travel #RVTravel #AYearOnTheRoad #HarvestHosts

Last week was Simon's birthday so it was time for a curry. And there is no better curry house in the Orlando area than #Tamarind in Winter Park. Nothing fancy, just great food backed up by immaculate service. Simon was a very happy bunny! #Travel #Orlando #IndianCuisine #WinterPark #Tamarind
If you haven't discovered the smart new #JuanValdez coffee shop on International Drive yet (right in front of the Sheraton Four Points), this genuine taste of Colombia is well worth seeking out. #Coffee #ColombianCoffee #LatinFlavors #InternationalDrive #Orlando

One of the best discoveries on our recent trip to the UK - the magnificent style, vibe and tastes of Sugardough bakery and cafe in Hove, Sussex. Ideal for breakfast, brunch and lunch, with a truly unique charm. #Travel #NationalTravelAndTourismWeek #Hove #SugarDough #NTTW2026

Have you heard about The Angel Tree? This is a real-life 2005 Hurricane hero in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, where 3 people were saved from the full force of Katrina. It has been moved and carved to represent a real angel... #Travel #RVTravel #AYearOnTheRoad #AngelTree #BayStLouis #HurricaneKatrina

This time 2 years ago we were in scenic #BatonRouge and staying at the fab Tigers Trail RV Resort. We loved touring the Tunica Trace Scenic Byway, visiting St. Francisville & lunch in the park. Wonderful part of the country (and SO quiet). #TigersTrailRVResort #Louisiana #AYearOnTheRoad
OK, we're only a year behind the times but there's never a bad time to discover a new, individual #coffee shop & we hit the jackpot with @truecoffee.bsky.social today. From the Spring menu, we tried the Blackberry Honey Shaken Espresso & Peaches & Cream cold brew. We will definitely be back! #Apopka
We feel hugely privileged that we got to experience Give Kids The World's 40th anniversary celebration last weekend, a wonderful celebration of founder (and Holocaust survivor) Henri Landwirth. Plus, we got to meet the Mayor...! #Travel #GiveKidsTheWorld #NonProfits #40thAnniversary #HenriLandwirth
