Exploring the Peak District in Our Motorhome
Growing up in the UK, I often heard people talk about the Peak District. They would do worthy things there like biking and rambling. They would wear waterproof clothes and woolly hats. I am sure that there would have been real ale drinking along with some pie consumption. I knew it was one of “those kinds of places” but…

Our Summer Travel Plans
For over three weeks we have been in Meriden, in the dead center of England, at the lovely Somers Wood campground. There has been a whole lot of getting ourselves settled in the motorhome with many trips to hardware stores and Ikea but we finally felt ready to start actually doing what we came here for…..

The Airstream is Up For Sale
Since we got back from Mexico we’ve been pretty busy. In a previous post we described the decision to move to Europe and start touring in a motorhome. Before we can embark on that adventure we decided to come back to the US and sell our Airstream. We could have decided to keep it, but honestly,…

Touring Tequila Like a Jefe!
We love tequila, I mean really love it. Iain, as a good Scottish person, loves a single malt and in the summer we’re partial to a gin + tonic but for me, tequila is always my liquor of choice. So when Iain and I were deciding on our next destination after San Miguel de Allende the…

Our Thoughts on San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
We visited San Miguel de Allende for the first time almost five years ago. We found it to be a beautiful city in the heart of Mexico. It was garnering more and more attention with Martha Stewart writing about it a few years earlier and Conde Naste naming it best city in the world. We…

Our Guide to The Rooftop Bars of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
Spending seven weeks in San Miguel de Allende gave us ample time to sample the drinking delights of the city. There are some pretty nice bars at ground level but here are our thoughts on the rooftop locations that the city has to offer.
