While I have two websites about my fulltime RVing lifestyle - MaliasRV.com and MaliasMiles.com - I started this blog to write about aspects of my life not necessarily related to my travel dreams.People often ask me what is my favorite place I’ve visited. It’s always too hard to pick just one place since so many pieces of trips were all fantastic in their own way, and I wouldn’t have missed going to any of them. But today I got a Facebook message from a dear friend I [...]
I arrived at Oak Mountain State Park in Pelham, Alabama on Wednesday. I thought it was pretty considerate for the threatening rainclouds to hold off letting go of their load of rain until I was completely set up and had just walked inside. Even so, I appreciated the view from my windshield – a tall [...]
My first state park in my new Kismet! Roosevelt State Park – now this is the kind of campground I really prefer. It’s convenient to I-20 but set far enough back so there’s no highway noise and such greenery is soothing to my soul. Entrance into the park – like driving through an enchanted forest. [...]
I enjoyed my stop at the Mississippi Visitor’s Center. I always like to pick up brochures when I’m entering a new state and this was an especially nice one. At the rear, graceful, curved stairs and columned porch – loved it! Period pieces lend a nice touch. Depictions of typical Union and Confederate soldiers’ uniforms [...]
This is the first time I and Kismet have ever left Texas together – and now I’m back in my state of birth! Today was a much better travel day than yesterday, but I definitely find I tire more easily after driving 200 miles a day than I used to. So instead of a quick [...]
I left Texas Custom Coach this morning with 216 miles to go to my first overnighter. Thanks again, guys, for my new slide topper and especially for erasing the scratches from my first misadventure in my new coach (previous post). They were so quick about fixing everything, I could have left on Friday, but I [...]
My quote for the day: “Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” ~ Michael Jordan My addition: …or get out and unhook and get back on the road! Today [...]
Great News! After a long period of research and trying to decide whether to keep my first motorhome (my “Inspiration“) – (“The Great Motorhome Debate“) — I finally decided to do what I really wanted in my heart and bought a new-to-me motorhome! I’m still getting it all ready to hit the road, so until [...]
15700 S. IH-35 (Exit 220) Buda, TX 78610 512-282-3516 I put more information and many more pictures of this campground on the main Malia’s Miles website, so check out this page for that. I’ve been staying at Crestview after buying my new-to-me motorhome! I’m so excited about it and next page will be on that, [...]
An RVing friend of mine sent me the email included below in October of last year and I completely forgot I had never posted it, so in the spirit of better late than never, I’m going to do that now, following my own comments. I guess this issue is back in the forefront of my [...]
