This is primarily a travel blog in which I write about traveling in our motorhome. Our travels have

Nacogdoches, TX, United States
I began this blog as a vehicle for reporting on a 47-day trip made by my wife and me in our motorhome down to the Yucatan Peninsula and back. I continued writing about our post-Yucatan travels and gradually began including non-travel related topics. I often rant about things that piss me off, such as gun violence, fracking, healthcare, education, and anything else that pushes my button. I have a photography gallery on my Smugmug site (http://rbmartiniv.smugmug.com).

Coming Soon!


In May, Carol Ann and I will begin an almost 4-month long trip from Texas, across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and into Virginia where we will spend some time touring Civil War Battlefields and museums.  From Virginia we will travel through Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, and finally, after 2,000 miles of driving, will arrive in Bar Harbor, Maine. This is where our 7-week Fantasy RV Caravan Tour of the Canadian Maritime Provinces will begin.

In preparation for this trip, our longest one to date, I feel like a modern pioneer, loading our wagon and preparing to venture into the unknown.  Well, not exactly the unknown thank to a few modern conveniences.  We have a few things that weren't available to the early pioneers. Such as maps, directories, GPS devices, digital communications, the Internet, and of course the Interstate Highway system!
