Gettysburg/Battlefield KOA Campground Our first full day in Gettysburg! We had a much more peaceful night’s sleep after Rich figured out that we could, in fact, turn the heat on inside the RV once we were connected to power at the campground.

Our bed inside the RV Brrr! I woke up at 7 am because it was cold, we were tired, and we all woke up hungry in our RV at the Delaware Water Gap/Pocono Mountain KOA Campground. I hadn’t moved all night because I was inside that mummy sleeping bag and yet, I was still freezing… Read More
Our RV parked at the Delaware Water Gap/Pocono Mountain KOA campground After what seemed like days of driving, but was only about 5 hours including our bathroom and food stops, we arrived to our first campground, the Delaware Water Gap/Pocono Mountain KOA.

Does the thought of straying and trying another cruise line scare you? Maybe just a little bit? Don’t worry… you’re not alone. Many people start out with a… Read More
One of the many places we wanted to stop and see on our New Year’s trip to Berlin was Winter World at the Sony Center in Potzdamer Platz. We were on an extremely relaxed schedule with no deadlines and nowhere to be at any specific time so we wandered the city at our own pace. You… Read More
