One Week Until We Set Sail!

On July 2, Kristy and I will depart "The Ham" (Birmingham) and head to the great American West. We were married on May 20, so this is the first stage of our honeymoon -- the domestic stage! We also plan to travel internationally, but first we are puttering around the States.

We will be driving a Ford F250 pickup truck, behind which we'll be towing our "studio apartment on wheels" -- a 25-foot Airstream Classic travel trailer.

People have asked the question, "Why did you choose an Airstream?"

Our answers vary, but at the heart of the matter is the unique Airstream experience. There's an entire community of extremists-- I mean, enthusiasts -- who are focused upon Airstreams. And we wanted to join their number.

What we'll be doing in this trip is nothing new; in fact, it's become an American tradition (at least for those Americans who don't mind handling their own sewer hoses). The iconic "silver bullet" travel trailers have been fixtures on American highways for almost eight decades now.

We look forward to not only seeing parts of our country we've never seen... but also seeing our country in a way we've never seen it.

So, stay tuned... the blog is just beginning!
