I can’t believe it’s over. Last year at this time we were moving out of our house and making final preparations for the trip. Now we’re unpacking everything, making plans for the kids school year, doing ‘normal’. Bittersweet to say the least. We’re absolutely glad to be back with our community of friends and family…

When we first told people about the RV trip, we got a mixture of reactions. Many enthusiastically stated that it was an “awesome idea”, the “opportunity of a lifetime.” But for others, I could sense the reservation in their reaction, as if to say “you must be crazy.” Both schools of thought were right. The…

Well, here we are in the Sunshine state, sitting in a serene RV park at the foot of the Eastern Sierras. It’s been a long journey. Unlike the other 36 states we have visited, my license plate no longer makes me a target. And, I don’t have to answer the question “Are you running away…

When the world pandemic pressed life’s pause button, school and work as we knew it ended, sporting events were cancelled, graduation ceremonies foregone. But nature never missed a beat. The squirrels kept scurrying for acorns, trees went thru their seasons, beavers kept building their dams…. I know this, because my family witnessed it across all…

Ten days, four national parks, one national forest, one state park, one national conservation area, multiple hikes, countless memories. For those of you who haven’t trekked to Southern Utah, it’s basically one big outdoor playground. Growing up in Southern California, I never realized just how close and accessible these venues are, just take the I-15…

Yesterday we crossed the continental divide, traversing thru the Eisenhower Tunnel at just over 11,000 feet of elevation. Although a little anxious about the drive (warning signs about checking brakes plastered everywhere), God’s guiding hand got us thru with perfect weather and zero issues. We are now sitting here at a campground situated along the…

When you have it you don’t notice it…when it’s gone, you do everything possible to get it back.   Health is one of the more tangible values of our RV trip- appreciating it, maintaining it, understanding it.  Many of you know that Nikki battled cancer over 4 years ago and the second she was diagnosed…

Well, actually we still are in Kansas somewhere between the land of OZ and the Colorado border dodging the winds and thunderstorms. Furthermore, if you want to get picky, we were technically living in Missouri….this whole two Kansas Cities in two different states is just downright confusing isn’t it? I’ll bet the majority of you…

Well, we wrapped up our trip to the Lone Star state and we’re taking some time to recount all the memories from the last month. I’m currently at a quiet RV park which overlooks the Will Rogers Downs horse track in NE Tulsa, quite a contrast from the dynamic nature of North Dallas and Austin.…

The most dangerous phrase that Ally ever says is, Daddy, I have an idea!” I brace myself for shock as await the creative and unformed plan that has somehow become the latest focal point of  her attention. That being said, we, Loconani, have an idea. Inspired by a book that one of our friends sent…
