Tucson for Christmas Trip: Retrospective
We were on the road from 12/10/23 to 1/14/24 for our Christmas trip to Tucson. We had some lofty goals this trip: obviously we were going to spend a solid chunk of time in Tucson for Christmas with family, but we also wanted to get all the way out to Death Valley, and hit Austin…

One night in Asheville, NC (visit #15)–Tucson for Christmas Trip
We were in Asheville in January 2024, as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our Asheville Favorites here. Last stop for the Tucson trip! We were ready to get home and return to a more manageable eating and drinking schedule. Atlanta to Asheville is a 3.5-hour (without Atlanta traffic) interstate journey; our trip was uneventful but…

One night in Tuscaloosa, AL–Tucson for Christmas trip
We were in Tuscaloosa in January 2024, as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Between New Orleans and Atlanta (our next scheduled destination), we had an open night. Where to stop? Mobile left us with too much driving the next morning, Birmingham doesn’t have a convenient RV campground, maybe return to Montgomery? Or Tuscaloosa? College towns…

One night in Lafayette, LA (visit #2)–Tucson for Christmas trip
We were in Lafayette in January 2024, as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our previous visit in 2017 here. The drive to Lafayette from Austin is a pretty crappy six hours: all interstate, and traffic gets snarled up around Houston. BUT! We finally got to stop at a Punjabi dhaba and that made…

But don’t worry, we still have some entertaining stops planned. While…

Two nights in Prescott, AZ–Tucson for Christmas trip
We visited Prescott in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Prescott is known for a historic and happening downtown and outdoor adventures, and we’ve long had it–and specifically the campground we stayed at–on our giant wishlist map with notes along the lines of “looks like a really cool town” and “campground seems like…
