In search of the continuous road trip
If you can recreate this … or make sense of it … you’ll be rich. Our Vegas gambling budget is very, very low. We’re only spending $1 a day. Only $1. The theory being that if we’re going to luck-out, then it’ll just happen – …
This week, we created a series of posts to help you save money in 2012 to make your travel dreams a reality. Today’s is about cutting coffee costs. When I was working in Chicago, a lot of days I would treat myself to a $2 …
Christmas is over, and the new year is coming up. Resolutions will be made shortly, then ignored shortly after that. Assuming that if you read this blog, you’ll have some sort of travel more / work less resolution for 2012, Lisa and I created a …
We hope everyone travels safely this weekend and has something fun planned. We’ll be off to Las Vegas shortly before we fly to Syracuse, NY to celebrate a late Christmas and the new year. Next week, we’ve got a lot of fun posts planned about …

We had left-over chorizo after making tacos one night, so I feasted on a bigger-than-normal breakfast a few days after. First, I toasted the tortillas on the Coleman stove and gave them a little char. Then I cooked the chorizo. When it was nearly finished …

You’re probably thinking: “Paul, sleeping in a van is probably the most comfortable thing ever, how could you ever improve it?” Well, let’s talk about that. Our tricked-out van platform bed is great … but it’s hardwood. Literally hardwood. And descriptively hard, really hard … and wooden. …
St. Elmo’s Bar in Bisbee was a lucky score, and our luck continued in Tucson at The Buffet Bar and Crock Pot thanks to Kelly Lewis, a free copy of Zocolo Magazine, and the Oro Valley Library. Here’s how it went down: We’d been going to the …
