Hello Friends…It’s Been A Minute

Yes, it’s definitely been a minute. Or two. I truly apologize for depriving everyone of some of our most embarrassing moments from the last couple of years.

Our last big trip, in 2023, ended somewhat abruptly for me, at least in the respect that I got hit with a major Lupus flare and I was too sick to write the ending to our trip. Autoimmune flares are sneaky and can quickly ruin the best of adventures with my favorite person in the world, (that’s Ben, of course). The good news is that I’m stubborn and I don’t give up easily, so we’re back on the road and we’re trying to bring this adventure blog back to life so you can laugh at OR with us, once again.

We made a few changes to how we planned this trip and how we’ll document our adventures from now on. Firstly, hurricane season in Florida has been a bit irritating, brutal, and hugely destructive lately, so when we decided to take another 10,000 mile adventure, we decided maybe late spring/early summer is a better time to travel and not have to worry about everything back home. Secondly, we decided to break the trip in to smaller drives as we used to really push ourselves with too much driving on long days and not enough time between driving days. Finally, due to some health related issues with my vision, Ben and I will be trying to churn the highlights of this and future adventures out by team blogging. Sorta like how old couples resort to team driving once they’re too old to complete all the driving functions solo, such as seeing the road, turning their neck and feeling the gas and brake petal with neuropathy in both feet. Yeah like that. Should be an interesting experiment lol.

So without further ado, we kick off our adventure, which will take us all the way from SW Florida up to Glacier National Park and hopefully back home before any trouble starts brewing in hurricane land.

Let the journey begin!
