Late Night with the Long, Long Honeymoon

Kristy and I appeared on a local TV show yesterday to discuss our honeymoon adventures. The show’s host, Cassie Moore, really makes her guests feel at home. I know that Cassie is destined for future achievements in TV land. Remember that you saw her here first. And her co-host Callie Swaid is great, too! Our interview was a lot of fun and offered the chance to reflect on our travels.

Naturally, we brought a video clip to the TV show. You might wonder why, of ALL the places in North America we visited, we chose to spotlight Myers Flat, California. Quite simply, Myers Flat is the sort of place you’d probably never “honeymoon” if you aren’t hauling around an RV. We had a great time in this tiny town -- despite our flat tire -- and brought home fond memories of a friendly stop along The Avenue of the Giants.

In the interview, Kristy mentions our time in Europe. We’ve done a fair amount of travel throughout Europe, but the episode she’s referencing was a three month stint in a small Czech town. If you think full-timing on an RV is a challenge, try full-timing in a place where no one speaks English. My Czech is pathetic, although I did quickly master the crucial phrase "jedno pivo, prosim!" -- which translates to "one beer, please!"

We like to joke about our living space aboard the Airstream being limited. Sure, it's limited compared to our current house. But the truth is that I found our RV to be better equipped and more comfortable than an apartment we once shared in Greenwich Village (and anyone who's ever lived in New York knows what I mean). Our Airstream is extremely liveable, a triumph of thoughtful design.

Because the typical Internet surfer (myself included) has the attention span of a ferret on amphetamines, we’re carving up our 10-minute TV interview into three easy-to-digest bite size segments. You know, just like when your mother used to cut up your dinner meat for you.

And so, many thanks to Cassie and Callie for their hospitality. Next up, Kristy and I are scheduled to appear on a radio show. Stay tuned!
