Happy 2008!
I traveled a lot in 2007, so as a tribute to the people and places visited this year, here is a sampling of photographs from the past 12 months (most recent first).
December: At the Tucson Presidio with my parents (Tom and Libby).
September: Pilgrimage to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.
August: Sea kayaking in beautiful Acadia National Park, Maine.
August: Riding the Carriage Roads in Acadia.
June: Watching a “crit” race in downtown Providence, Rhode Island.
May: Visiting with family in Rhode Island. (L to r: Lance, Grandma Edna, my mother Libby, my wife Erin.)
May: Visiting Grandpa Norman’s grave in Rhode Island with my sister Adria.
May: My favorite building in Washington, D.C.: the Library of Congress.
April: Riding on the beach at sunset on Jekyll Island, Georgia.
April: Visiting my Grandma Ruth in Gainesville, Georgia.
March: Pilgrimage to Waco, Texas to visit the Dr. Pepper Museum.
January: Carving up the beach on a cold winter day along the Texas Gulf coast, near Port Aransas.
Amazingly, Erin and I have just passed a big milestone: one year of full-time RV travel. It’s been a fun adventure, and we hope to continue for at least one more year. Next summer, we plan on driving to Alaska, so if the RV wants to fall apart after that it would be great timing.

For those of you who ask “Where are you right now?” all you have to do is check fautrever.com every week. I keep a map of our location at the top of the home page; you can click the map to see our general area on Google Maps in case you want to zoom out to see what part of the USA it is (don’t worry, I know you aren’t all geography buffs!). I usually update the map as soon as we arrive in a new location—generally by evening of the same day.
Our travel blog is generally two weeks behind “real time” because of all the research, photo editing and processing, and writing it takes to put together a post. Plus, that gives us a chance to mentally process our experiences before wrapping them up nicely for you.
If you aren’t subscribed to our travel blog, grab the RSS feed or sign up on our website for the email updates. We post about three times a week.
Here’s to another year on the road, and living our travel dreams!
