While on my recent transatlantic cruise that I took earlier this year, I visited 6 cities in Europe (1 in Portugal and 5 in Spain).  This was my first visit to Europe.  After traveling all over the United States for the past 12 years, I decided it was time to venture out and experience Europe.

St. […] Continue reading More Churches – Newer Churches in Florida at J. Dawg Journeys. #rv #rving ..read more

I recently had the odometer in my RV turn over to 100,000 miles.  I bought it new in 2014 so all those miles are mine.  Seeing that number caused me to pause and reflect – to take a quick look back. It was my dream to retire early in my 50’s, buy an RV, and […] Continue reading 100,000 Miles and 12 Years of RVing at J. Dawg Journeys. #rv #rving ..read more
