Ron & Elena's Odyssey

Ron & Elena Engelsman travel blog
Welcome to our trip journal!

We started thinking about full time RVing in 2005. We got real serious in late 2006, started selling "stuff", put the house on the market in April 2007, and sold it in 10 days. We started our full-time adventure on June 1, 2007. After spending June in Southern CA to wrap-up loose ends we started traveling on July 2nd.

Our home is a 23' Komfort Travel Trailer. We tow it with a 2004 3/4-ton Chevy Avalanche. We had this rig for vacations before we started full-timing. We call our trailer "Da Honu", Hawaiian for "The Turtle".

You are invited to join us on this adventure by following along with us on this web page and travel log. The map below shows where we are and where we have been. Below the map that is displayed there are hot links to other maps that show more detail of specific areas. Just click on those links to get a different map view. Click on the dates to the right of the map to read our journal entries and see photos.

We like to hear from our readers. Sometimes we find several people asking us questions about the same topic. Occasionally we'll write an answer to a "frequently asked question" (FAQ) and publish it for all to read. So far we have published the answer to one FAQ:
FAQ #1 - Why select South Dakota as a domicile? - Answer, see Journal entry for Aug. 26, 2007.
