Tom and Jen bought a truck camper.
Day 280: Bokeelia, FL Sunny and warm. I finished the map of where we’ve been on our odyssey. I added where we planned to go to finish the circle home. The parts in red are the planned stops, with the New Hampshire stop being dependent on how we felt at the end of our trip,... Continue Reading →
Day 279: Bokeelia, FL Sunny and warm. RV HygieneArviTrekking.com was meant to record where we have been and our impressions of these places, and to inform our family and friends where we are. Also, to give some insight into what it is like to only live in a small RV for about a year. Part... Continue Reading →
Day 278: Bokeelia, FL Sunny and cool. We went into the town of Cape Coral to get the motor for one of the two davits (mechanical boat lift) on the property fixed. We ended up buying a new motor. Since we were in town already, I thought it would be a good time to get... Continue Reading →
Day 277: Bokeelia, FL Windy and warm. We did not get any rain last night. April fool? The weather changed, however, and it became windy and almost cool. It’s very pleasant here today. I took a long walk and noticed some lawn workers are cutting down these bunches of fruit from the palm trees. Tom... Continue Reading →

We will clean off the produce well and let the dry goods sit for three days to kill any germs on... Continue Reading →
Day 271: Bokeelia, FL Sunny and hot. Arvi ChecklistWe developed a rhyming checklist to help us remember everything that needs to be done before we drive Arvi down the road. It’s pretty easy to leave a cabinet undone, or something on the ground when we pull away from the site: Windows and latches Switches and... Continue Reading →
Day 262: Bokeelia, FL Sunny and hot. We went to Fort Myers to visit Pat and Judy for Saint Patrick’s Day. Pat and Judy picked up some cinnamon rolls and some pecan rolls, which may have been better than the “best cinnamon buns in the galaxy” that we had in Canada back in July. Seriously,...

Tom and Jen came down with nasty colds while visiting friends. We left to recuperate where we would not infect anyone.
Once we crossed into Louisiana one of the first things we did was stop for seafood lunch at Steamboat Bill's. We had gumbo and étouffée and were introduced to boudin (pronounced boo-DAN). That was the beginning of a tastebud odyssey. We didn't cook much campfood while in Lousianna or Mississippi. Eating the local fare was... Continue Reading →
