I'm on my way to pick up a pop-up camper I just rented. This crazy fact is because we decided to take a road trip from New Mexico to Wisconsin this summer, instead of flying like we usually do. As we looked at RVs to rent I realized the thought of driving something the size of a bus did not appeal to me. At the same time I realized we have quite a bit of experience living in tight quarters. After all, didn't I live with two children, my husband, a nanny and a large German Shepherd on a 42 foot boat? How hard could this be? As I write those words, I know I will probably eat them in the next few days.
Still I'm ready for an adventure and looking forward to cruising on the land since our true love; cruising on the ocean, is not an option for us right now. The pop-up camper could be a nightmare, but it could also be a lot of fun. Like camping, only with beds and air conditioning.
I will do my best to post some of our experiences along the way.
After living aboard the 42' sailing catamaran Hakuna Matata for a year our family is adjusting to life back on dry land. What impact will that experience have on our lives in the long run? Can that lovely, liveaboard lifestyle apply in the desert Southwest? Will my landlocked boat babies feel like fish out of water or find joy wherever we are? This blog is my outlet for exploring these questions.
I think you will love it! (except for the bathroom facilities ;o)
