Tonight we board a plane bound for Spain. We’re bidding farewell to the United States for six months or more, depending on where the road takes us next.
We never intended to start our full-time travels in our home country, roaming from coast to coast in an RV, but we’re glad it worked out the way it did. For the past four years we’ve constantly been awed and amazed by the scenic beauty this country has to offer, from Colorado’s giant sand dunes backed by snow-capped mountain peaks to the red-hued spires of Bryce National Canyon, from intriguing, colorful cities like New Orleans to the vibrant palettes of Yellowstone.
This slide show captures only a small fraction of what we saw and experienced during an unforgettable first installment of our travel adventures.
Goodbye, for now, America. We’ll truly miss you.

Bon voyage. Have a safe flight and a great trip.

A beautiful country indeed. Have a great time in Europe. Let me know if you are coming to my little bit of northern Tuscany.

Tuscany is definitely a place we’ll get back to, but it probably won’t be this year. Weather, visa restrictions, and our preferred slow pace of travel may prevent us from getting to Italy until at least next spring. But get there we will!
