Sorry I haven't updated this blog lately, but we had terrible Internet service and no electricity for several days. Let's get caught up. Better late than never... We couldn't believe how many semi-trucks were going into Poland from Germany. August 27th After spending one night in Poland, we headed back to Germany. After only a couple hours of driving we stopped at the Wo...
No wrong turn - a trip to Poland was a last minute decision. One of the nice things of traveling by motorhome is the freedom to change plans on a whim. But I'm getting ahead of myself. August 25th Today was mainly a down day, catching up on computer issues, editing photos, and updating this blog. We rewarded ourselves with a nice evening out. We drove not far from the campground to a Cr...
August 22nd Not much happening today at the Stellplatz in Eisenberg, Germany. We stuck around the motorhome catching up on photos, videos, and updating this blog. We had planned to do some shopping and perhaps get a good meal out, but everything is closed - it's Sunday. Although, it wasn't really a "Sun" day, it rained all day long. ☺ August 23rd Still raining, bu...
August 19th We moved about an hour away to the small town of Hochspeyer. Along the way, we detoured to the US Military Base in Sembach. We were stationed here from 1983-1986 when it was operated by the USAF. Since then, they've turned half of the base over to the community and it's now an industrial area. The other half is now operated by the US Army. We were curious to what it looked ...
August 18th We tried to get in touch with Jake's parents, but never did. Guess they're out on a trip, or at least not answering their phone. Jake also tried and couldn't get ahold of them. Oh well, we still enjoyed our visit to Wiesbaden (mostly). We stayed at a regular paid campsite near downtown Wiesbaden. "Wörther-See-Straß" is privately owned and it was a quiet stay. We decided...
August 16th Today was mainly a driving day (Connie say's they are all driving days). However, this was a 4½ hour drive to be close to the France/Germany border. Our destination was another free Aire in Pfaffenhoffen, France. This free Aire is provided by the town and was great, with free water and dumping, and cheap electricity. We got 12 hours of electric for €6 ($7.20 US), but was mo...
August 10th It's been over 35 years since we were last here, when we lived in Germany for three years (USAF). This trip all started with an very early morning on August 10th. Waking up at 3:00am, we caught a shuttle to the Phoenix airport. Arriving at PHX, we had to present our passport, proof of our COVID vaccinations, and a form letter from France where we would confirm we hadn't been in contact...
We had heard there was a Bobcat with a couple kittens in the area of our home, but we never saw them... until the other day. I installed a camera at the front of the house that alerts us and records when there's motion. The other evening, the camera recorded the three bobcats. They came out from the side of our house and crossed the driveway. Here's the short video that was captured. I ...
France, and other European countries started allowing US citizens to enter and travel again starting June 9th. When this looked to be firm, we made arrangements to fly out of Phoenix, AZ August 10th, arriving in Paris, France on August 11th. We'll return to the US on September 11th, giving us a month to "test the waters" and start our European adventures. The flight is booked, so I ...
It's hard to believe that we've been in Prescott, Arizona for almost a year now. We moved here mid-July, 2020. We bought Larry's parents house and have been busy repairing and upgrading it. Some of the work was contracted out, and we did some of it ourselves. It's been fun. We're finally finished with all of the big projects we had planned. Here's the major projects we completed: F...
