Seeing our world with

No Checklists,

No Schedules...

One Day at a Time.


We left our home in Paso Robles, California on Halloween, 2001, and haven’t looked back since.  We left that day on a motorcycle towing a small tent trailer.  As we had always vacationed by motorcycle, this seemed logical to us, ‘though it would have worked out better had we left home in spring instead of autumn.  After about three months of mostly cold weather we bought our first used motor home in Florida and have gone through a couple others along the way.  During our first six years on the road, we traveled throughout the US, Canada and Mexico; visiting the ten provinces and two territories of Canada that you can drive to, much of Mexico and all but one of the states - and no, the missing one isn’t Hawaii.  As you will see on other pages of this site, we thoroughly enjoyed every day of that six years.  If you like, you can read about our travels during this period in our Us & Canada and Mexico pages.

Then, having met lots of folks doing far more adventurous things, we decided it was time to begin moving further afield.  After what passes, with us, for lots of thought and research, we dropped everything, traveled cross country - actually from Guanajuato, Mexico to Columbia, South Carolina - in order to pick out a suitable rig and set out on a new adventure.  You can read all about our choice on our Our Vehicle page. 

In June 2007 we headed north to Alaska and Canada’s Yukon and Northwest Territories and began traveling south along the Pan American Highway; through Mexico and Central America and headed for South America.  We left the States in December 2007 and arrived in Cartagena, Colombia on June 1, 2008, beginning a tour of South America that took us down the spine of the Andes to the far southern tip of the western hemisphere, visiting six countries before we shipped our vehicle and flew ourselves home from Buenos Aires on June 15, 2009.

Every Country, State, and region we have visited has rewarded us with experiences and memories to last a lifetime.  This life on the road has been everything we ever hoped it would be and there is no end in sight for us.  After some months in the US, we anticipate shipping our rig to Europe in Spring 2010 to begin our exploration of that continent.  After that, who knows?  Australia, New Zealand, Africa and a return to South America all beckon and who can say what else might be around that next turn in the road.  There is so much to see and do in this always fascinating world we inhabit, and planning that far ahead just doesn’t seem to be our style.

In this website we hope to be able to share with you our successes and our difficulties, the good times and the hard times; all in the hope that you will not only enjoy our tale, but will take inspiration from it to expand your own horizons in whatever directions you may choose.  If you should have any questions about our life on the road or our travels, please send us an email; we’d be delighted to hear from you. 

In all of our time on the road, our motto has been “No Checklists, No Schedules”.  Over time we learned that in following that simple rule we had become Travelers, not Tourists.

Welcome Along!



“The Traveler sees what he sees. The Tourist sees what he has come to see”  

~ G.K. Chesterton



So far, our travels have taken us to these countries...
