Reader Question #1 – Show Me The Money (KJ)
Question: I am curious to know how you will finance the RV trip if you are skint. Do you plan to work along the way? If not how will you manage financially?

I can’t think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost eveything. To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in [...]

Viking brand ranges are the top-selling high-end ovens in the country. I’ve drooled over them once or twice in my life. Did you know that 75% of them go unused?? I personally draw a parallel with my own possessions. I’ve got a ton of clothes and I’m so sad because I [...]

We have nearly stretched ourselves to our financial breaking point in order to buy the RV and now that we’ve got it, we can’t move it! Then we see the article in the New York Times about oil shooting up 8% to $138 a barrel just because an investment bank said it would hit $150 [...]

Have you ever thought to yourself, “Man, I wish there were two completely inexperienced people around who could tell me how to buy and RV and change my life”? Well today is your lucky day!

Last night CM and I had a huge fight. This debacle is completely my fault because as I’ve stated before, I’m the CFO of this relationship. It was my financial plan that was flawed. Throughout the night the RV thing was on again, off again, etc. Luckily we made up this [...]

Monday, June 2, 2008
“An Achilles’ heel is a fatal weakness in spite of overall strength, actually or potentially leading to downfall.” ~Wikipedia. Tonight we went to Ikea to look for RV supplies – bad idea. I had forgotten how much that store makes me drool over furniture. Every time we go there, without fail, we spend at [...]

We’ve tried to keep Midget (our daughter) and Widget (our son) in the loop about our upcoming plans. (CM doesn’t like my nicknames for them, but I’m sticking with them since he hasn’t suggested an alternatives.) It’s really important to me that they enjoy this new direction we’re heading in. Recently, Widget [...]

On Friday, I found out my next assignment! We had to choose a list of ten places we wanted to go. I was really crushed when we got the list and Japan wasn’t on there. However, when life gives you lemons…..
Long story short — We’re moving to Korea!!! Someone told me “It’s just like Japan, only dirtier.” We’re all super excited. We plan to use Korea for a launching pad to Asia. We’d like to go to Japan, China, and Thailand!!
Woohooo!
Wow!
So I was setting up another blog and I ran across this one!
So we eventually we had to leave Glacier National Park. A reader of our blog had suggested that we travel to Bozeman hot spring and Butte. I was pretty psyched about taking the advice of a complete stranger, and I was surprised that CM seemed to be going for it as well. About 200 miles later our RV broke down.

We were at Glacier National Park for only 3 days, but so much happened. I just need to share a few more things and then I will move on to the calamity that struck us after we left.

I had really been feeling like the trip was a bust. I had wanted to show the kids all of these different things and they really weren’t too interested. CM and I were feeling that we spent more time with our back on them (because we were driving) than we did when we had an apartment. Some days it seemed like the only time that we really talked to them was to tell them “Stop hitting” or “Share!” I really felt that the hike in Montana really changed that.

Two words: Pure exhaustion. At the time of my last post, we were having terrible problems getting any kind of internet signal and we were headed to Glacier National Park in Montana. Well, when we got there what we thought was a 1.5 mile hike, turned out to be a 4.5 mile hike (thank you, CM).
