Days not Homeless: 5 Years, 106 Days ...and loving every second of this alpine adventure!
The 51st State
We just love these thirty minute flights, especially flying JetBlue. No worries about overweight luggage, carry-on bags, or seats with zero legroom.Take note Spirit! Flying from St Maarten to Puerto Rico was the international leg of our homeward trip to South Florida,...
Chillin with Friends
Being only two and half months into a slow recovery from major hip surgery the offer to spend a 40th birthday celebration week with friends in the Caribbean was gratefully accepted. Neither of us had ever been to Dutch Sint Maarten or French St Martin, the two...
Nineteen Thousand Miles
With a mere twenty days separating our return from Lima, Peru to our departure around the west of the United States, it seemed like we had to be firing on all cylinders to ensure everything was ready. Going Broke, our 2008 Nissan Pathfinder, was purchased through a...
Utah and its Awesome Foursome
Seeming like an extension of Arizona and the Grand Canyon we drove Going Broke diagonally northeast across Utah, starting in the very livable city of St George (with fond memories of a brutal Ironman here back in 2009), followed by Zion, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands,...

Yosemite, a climber’s paradise
Would the hordes of other tourists spoil our party or would this turn out to be one of America's best National Parks? The latter ran true with Yosemite taking us on an adventure that ensured we will return to experience a second chapter. From forest fires to a bone...
Pacific Coast Highway with ‘Going Broke’
Beginning in Astoria on the northern coast of Oregon and ending in Morro Bay, 230 miles south of San Francisco, we were filled with visions of dramatic coastlines and cute little seaside towns so we loaded up 'Going Broke' and headed south. This was not going to be a...
Rainier!
This was my second visit and Andrea’s first to this amazing National Park a few hours south of Seattle. We both agreed this is our favorite US national park, at least during this time of year, with meadows full of bright and colorful wild flowers, perfectly flat...
Vancouver and the Island
Our departure from Alaska meant our arrival back in British Columbia, and with a late night ferry into Port Hardy we were excited to see what lay ahead in Vancouver Island and visiting our friends in Vancouver. We had a week to make our way along the 290 miles of...
