Must Have Luggage

That could be a noun, were it hyphenated, but it's a short phrase describing a need.

We have luggage. It's pretty battered. It has served us well, but it's nearing the end of its own personal journey.

What have you personally used for lugging stuff around (that's what you do with luggage, you lug) that you'd never leave [...]

What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?

Today Fiona heard Daddy say something about a friend who still doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up. Fiona then said, "I know what I want to be when I grow up!" So we asked her what she wanted to be. Her reply, "I want to do everything!"

She's been exposed to a [...]

The Vagabond Canfields Interviewed on The Bill and Meghan Show

Last week Bill Walker and Meghan Wood of The Bill and Meghan Show interviewed our family about our nomadic plans.  Read what they have to say and listen to their podcast at their website.

They've also posted on their home page an interesting poll: Do you support the Canfields in their decision to embrace a more simple [...]

24-Hour Driving Madness

Yes, we are the type of people who decide on a whim to hop into the van and take a drive - for the next 24 hours!

In early May 2007 just after we bought our 2005 Kia Sedona van, we decided to drive up into Oregon - just so I could say I'd been there since [...]

It's 7:22 PM and There's Nothing I Need To Do About It

Best Beloved had left a handful of baby things out by the fence with a 'Free' sign. I set the dead empty computer cases out there, too.

Except, not the one which had both a hard drive to bring Computer A back to life and the video card to bring Server B back to life. That [...]

It's 3:20 AM and There's Nothing I Can Do About It

Rear brakes on the van in a few hours, which means taking James to work at 6:45 so we have his car while ours is being done. (We manage okay with one car for Sue and I, but we're not so good with zero cars, at least, not yet. Maybe not ever.)

Spent the weekend in the [...]

Getting Ready for the Canfields

Caitlyn James

Caitlyn is back. I am not sure what that means; does she keep coming here because we're coming there? This is something to be looked into, eh? In the meantime, here's Caitlyn . . .

I should have taken a picture of myself last night. It was getting dark and I was covered in muddy [...]

Too Busy to Post Anything Today

Today was busy getting ready for tomorrow's workshop. It would be the first day since we started the blog that nothing got posted. I couldn't let that happen! So today's post is: too busy [...]

Interviewed for The Bill and Meghan Show

Charlie Chaplin in Ireland

The tilted sign is on Valentia Island in Chapeltown. Ted's bus takes us in to Caherciveen regularly. Before our month in Ireland was up, this sign had been fixed so it no longer titled.

In Waterville, just a few miles south of Caherciveen, is the Charlie Chaplin statue. You'll also find a world-famous Arnold Palmer [...]
