Our Secret (not so secret) Life!

We are the Willards, and WE are living a secret, not so secret, life!! It’s crazy to think that we have been on the road traveling around Canada, US and Australia since March 2019!! The kids were almost 3 years old when we left on our first road trip to Minnesota. Looking back now, I’m […]

Left, Left, just Stay left

Have you ever voluntarily put yourself in a position where you had to drive on the opposite side of the road? In a giant Motorhome? With kids in the back who need snacks every 7 minutes? This was a dream for Nick, a ridiculous one albeit;). He loves driving, if it’s not fast it may […]

In a sunburned country

In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson – This is the book we read before heading to Australia the first time and I can say with my absolute whole heart that Bill Bryson is by far my favourite Author. I mean, if you like to laugh until you cry, which I happen to;). He is clever and witty […]

The week before any trip can be stressful, but this one will go down in history!! By the end of the week, I lost 5 lbs, forgot how to sleep and aged quite a few years. Want to know the secret to my new unplanned diet? And how to add several grey hairs and go […]

Road Trip Battle Anyone??

You know what they say, ‘Time Flies when you’re WARM’….I mean, having Fun …. right it’s Fun. In our case, it flies extremely fast when you’re having fun while staying warm!!

Hot Weather, Head Wounds, and Diarrhea??

‘Black on Red – You’re Dead’

Snakes – Our new reality!! Apparently the Rattle Snakes down here in Texas have stopped Rattling as a new defense. The rattling attracts Wild Boars, which apparently eat Snakes. Nick came across 2 snakes the other day, both very poisionous. Geeze, good thing our dogs are soooo smart. I’ve been trying to figure out why […]

Mullets, Masks, and Compression Socks

We made it through the border everyone!! Yay! To be honest, it took about an hour for the guards to let us pass – we may have started sweating a bit by the 45 minute mark. Mostly I couldn’t imagine turning back around after the day we had before. We made our way through Montana […]
