Bonita Springs, Naples, FL

ODOMETER: 80,806 | MILES TRAVELED: 2,861

 

by Grant

It’s the last day of virtual classes and Jack and Ellie have a bunch of stuff to complete before they can call the term closed. So they started early today and will need to put in some hours over the next few days to complete assignments in time.

It is tough for everyone keeping up with the schoolwork, teachers included, in this environment. We feel as if Jack and Ellie are benefitting from the travel and changing scenery as it breaks the monotony of feeling like they’re in solitary confinement. But it still requires them to get theory work done and that’s tough in the virtual world.

Jana and I have work and correspondence to do so we all tackle our individual tasks and by late afternoon, we’re ready for a break.

There is a nice little trail nearby called Cullum’s Trail and Jack, Jana and I head over for a quick run/ride. Ellie wants to hang back and get some more work done, so it’s just the three of us.

The trail runs along a small creek and it’s absolutely beautiful. It feels a bit like a Jurassic Park scene. Jana runs, Jack and I ride, and we grab some photos along the way.

We’re thinking we’ll come back tomorrow near dusk and get some slow shutter speed shots.

I feels great to be in the woods and moving! 

We head back for dinner and it’s Taco Night! Soft and hard shell tacos, veggie and beef options. It’s also cooling off as there’s a cold front coming through. It was mid 80’s today, but will dip into the 40’s tonight.

Sailing Tahiti to Australia | Month 2 FP

Here is what our second month living on our boat, Hanavave, in Tahiti, French Polynesia, was like.

Our trip to Australia was delayed due to port closures throughout the South Pacific. We spent the month making improvements to Hanavave so that we could make the passage to Australia with fewer stops.

Why We Sold Our Home to Live on a Bus and Travel Full-TimeAt any other point in time, the decision to sell our home and move into an RV to travel the U.S. full-time with two teenagers and three dogs might be quite ridiculous. But in these unfathomably complex and...
