Two nights on Manitoulin Island, ON–Big Trip #5
We visited Manitoulin as part of Big Trip #5 in September 2026. Manitoulin Island is the world’s largest freshwater island, and it’s home to Treasure Island, the world’s largest island in a lake on an island in a lake. (Treasure Island is also called Mindemoya Island, and mindemoya means “old lady’s bottom.”) Manitoulin is surrounded…

Two nights in Tobermory, ON–Big Trip #5
We visited Tobermory as part of Big Trip #5 in September 2026. Tobermory is the tiny town on the northern tip of Bruce Peninsula, jutting out into Lake Huron and partitioning out Georgian Bay, often called the sixth Great Lake, to the east. Tobermory’s main tourism draw, in addition to water-based activities, is the adjacent…

Two nights in Niagara Falls, ON–Big Trip #5
We visited Niagara Falls as part of Big Trip #5 in August 2026. Crossing into Niagara Falls, Ontario marked our first time taking the Airstream to Canada! Not our first time visiting Canada while Airstreaming–that was when we popped across from Sault Ste Marie, Michigan to Sault Ste Marie, Ontario on Big Trip #1, but…

One night in Letchworth State Park, NY–Big Trip #5
We visited Letchworth as part of Big Trip #5 in August 2026. From sweet Watkins Glen it’s only an hour drive to Letchworth State Park, home of the “Grand Canyon of the East,” where the Genesee River cuts a dramatic gorge featuring three massive waterfalls. It made our wishlist because it was voted the #1…

Three nights in Watkins Glen, NY–Big Trip #5
We visited Watkins Glen as part of Big Trip #5 in August 2026. So we didn’t love Ithaca. Brainstorming other nearby options that would give us similar access to gorges and state parks as we had in Ithaca, but based in a quirkier and more charming town, we landed on Watkins Glen, a half hour…

One night in Ithaca, NY–Big Trip #5
We visited Ithaca as part of Big Trip #5 in August 2026. I’ve been intrigued by Ithaca since I was a kid and saw “Ithaca is Gorges” on a bumper sticker at home in Virginia. I don’t know if it was the thought of dramatic nature or the wordplay that appealed to me more, but…

One night in Rickett’s Glen State Park, PA–Big Trip #5
We visited Rickett’s Glen as part of Big Trip #5 in August 2026. J read about Rickett’s Glen on one of the many travel lists we read… and I can’t find the specific list. So let me just tell you that it’s awesome and worth including if you’re mapping out a road trip through central…

One night in Paris, VA–Big Trip #5
We visited Paris as part of Big Trip #5 in August 2026. And we’re off! First stop on our fall trip, previously known as the Ontario loop and now as Big Trip #5, was wee Paris, VA. The primary reason we chose Paris was to dine at a specific restaurant, but we were happy with…

Brevard, NC addendum: two nights in Brevard sans Airstream
Read about our first Brevard visit in May 2025 here, and our second in November 2025 here. I just got back from a couple days in Brevard without the Airstream, without J, and without my Airstream Dog. While normally I wouldn’t post here about a non-Airstream trip, I have some good stuff to report for our next…
