Peaceful Holidays

While many of our friends and family have been spending the holidays at festive gatherings, the Little Snowbirds have been, aghast, snowed in during the worst winter storm that’s hit Portland in 30 years. On the plus side, we’ve had our first white Christmas here. In my last post, I noted how sad our rig looked, all wrapped up like a mummy. It’s now surrounded by almost five foot tall snow drifts.





So what do "literally snowed in" Snowbirds do with all that free time? Why they research all the sunny, warm locations they want to be in. Baja sounds and looks pretty good right now. They also check out what else is going on in the RV world. One of my favorite vacation spots is getting ready to be filled with excitement. All the fun in Quartzsite is getting ready to start next month! Show dates are as follows:

• The 26th annual Quartzsite Sports, Vacation & RV Show is being held from January 17-25.
• The 12th annual Quartzsite Hobby, Craft & Gem Show is being held from January 28 - February 1.
• And let’s not forget the 11th Annual Quartzsite Rock & Roll Classic Car Show is being held from January 31st - February 1st.

Gotta love Quartzsite at this time of year. For more information on the festivities, visit www.quartzsitervshow.com.

Also, I often peruse RV.net. I just found an article recently posted their site regarding one of my favorite subjects, Green RVing! A new study was released that showed RV vacationers left a smaller carbon footprint than traditional vacations. Hurray for us! Visit the RV.Net Blog for more information. Read the article and then make sure to click on the link that will lead you out to the press release posted on the www.RVIA.com website.

Also, I like to visit other RV peeps blogs to find out what they are up to. I have a list of a few of the ones we follow to the right.
