What is the BLT?
The BLT is what I consider the Best Little Trailer, a 2011 17-foot Casita Liberty Deluxe which was the full-time home for me and my crew from August 2011 to May 2018.
What is the PTV?
The PTV is the Perfect Tow Vehicle. It's a 2005 Chevy Express Van with a V-8, 5.3 liter engine and equipped with a 200-watt solar panel on the roof and two AGM batteries inside.What is a blogorino?
A blogorino is a reader who opens up the comment section of this blog and writes a message. Blogorinos are kind and friendly and fun to know!-

Hi, Rob. . . Yes, a new year filled with good neighbors (or none at all, at times! 🙂 ) Merry Christmas!
Christmas Blessings, Sue and Crew!
Hi, Marcia! Enjoy the holidays…
Merry Christmas RV Sue! Glad your dreams are still coming true.
Rob and Juley
I hope your dreams come true, too. Merry Christmas, Rob and Juley!
Merry Christmas to you! I hope you have a wonderful, peaceful holiday with the crew and friends.
Hi, Dawn… Warm wishes for your holiday and new year!
Merry Christmas, Sue! I’m happy to have been introduced to your blog through Bob Wells back in May when I began my full time journey. I live and travel solo in my 2001 Ford E350 v10 with my dog Rochelle Claire. I teach live online science classes to homeschoolers on the road.
I think our camping styles are similar. I too revel in peace, quiet, and solitude. I hope to meet you one day. I’m going to Bob’s RTR in Jan. Will you be hitting that this year? Warm wishes to you and the crew.
Gloria
Hi, Gloria,
Online science classes… how interesting and well-suited for your life on the road!
No, I don’t go to gatherings, even though I do enjoy Bob’s company and appreciate him sending readers to my blog. Have a happy holiday season. I hope we hear from you again!
Ha ha! We shall see how I feel about these type of gatherings in the future. I’ve dwindled out of so many gatherings that I had initially joined up with energetically. They all quickly wore me out and or I became bored with them. I’m a hesitant “gatherer” but, still curious to meet other folks doing this lifestyle. So, we’ll see how it goes. I’m sure you will hear more from me again. I resonate with your intriguing style. You’re much, much more giving then I am though. I hope that I will come to a more generous space in my life. Warm wishes to you and crew.
Thank you, Gloria. You’re more giving than you think. You just shared some of yourself with me and the readers of my blog!
Sue, ” You give all of us followers a gift all year long with sharing your travels, taking your time to give us wonderful pictures and responding to our comments.” Love and time are the most precious gifts we humans have to give to each other !! THANK SO MUCH !!!! JOY and PEACE of mind to you, Bridget and Spike
Hi, Kaye,
Bridget and Spike had a great Christmas Day with their canine pals, Samantha (Sammy the Beagle), Julie (the daschund) and Pheebs (the wonder dog). I just gave them a plate of ground turkey and now they’re napping.
Happy holidays to you!
Merry Christmas to you!
Merry Christmas, Deb!
Merry Christmas, Susan A Big Hug to you , Spike and Bridget.
Love to you, Pauline!
Merry Christmas RVSue and Crew!
Can’t wait to see where you (we) explore in 2014.
Hi, Phil,
Ah, where shall we go in 2014? I haven’t any idea . . . So many places I’d love to camp in! Glad you’ll be coming along with us. Merry Christmas!
The three of you bring us so much joy. Thank you Sue. Happy travels in the new year!!
Thank you, Andrea. It’s fun to share our lives with readers like you. I hope all is well with you and yours!
Perfect picture!
Live that dash girlfriend! You are such an inspiration to many!

I was wondering where you were? I thumbed thru last months post looking for you! Your ears must have been ringing!
Merry Christmas and have a wonderful 2014. Loved seeing pictures of ALL of you via Bayfield Bunch.
Hi, Lynda. . . Yeah, Al makes no exceptions. 🙂 Best wishes to you, too!
Merry Christmas to you! Every time my husband sees a Casita, he says “There’s RVSue!” and I have to gently remind him that there are other owners of Casitas 🙂 Best of the Season to you and a healthy, adventurous 2014!
Merry Christmas, Bev and husband! Enjoy these last days of 2013 and the year ahead . . .
Merry Christmas RVSue, Bridge and Spike!

Thanks and the same to you, Marsha and Ed!
Dear me, it’s a long way to springtime. I don’t know how you make it through the northern winters. I did it as a kid, but I quickly forgot how once I migrated south. Here’s to a mild winter in Michigan and a happy 2014 for you both!
Merry Christmas to RV Sue, Spike, and Bridget! Hope you have a Happy New Year and be safe in your travels
Hi, Rob and Juley… Here’s to a fantastic 2014!
Merry Christmas from Northern California. I picked up my class c from the shop yesterday (12/24) and mom(86 years old) and I spent the day today packing it up and hope to head out by noon tomorrow (12/26). Just for a few days to give it a test run. Mom hasn’t even had a chance to ride in it yet. We are beyond excited We will be in the Yuma area in Feb. after the Escapee boot camp in Congress in Jan. I have learned so much from you. Thank you so very much.
You’re welcome, Evelyn. I hope you have a successful test run. Happy New Year to you and your mother!
Hey Sue! Merry Christmas!
Best wishes to you, Bob!
Merry Christmas Sue, it’s been a wonderful year traveling with you and the crew. There is no greater Joy than the life we live. RVing across the land to destinations yet unknown, It’s like every day is Christmas and you unwrap the gift of a new beautiful location. Ahhh….. how can life be any merrier. This Christmas I have received the least amount of gifts and yet this is the happiest and most content I’ve ever been on Christmas day, and I even worked. I already have the best present of all …My new life in my RV!
Hi, Laurie,
The secret to happiness is living life your way, whatever that may be, and that’s what you’re doing with your RV. Your enthusiasm and excitement is contagious! Happy miles and wondrous places await you . . . Enjoy!
Merry Christmas, Sue, Spike & Bridget. Loved your greeting pic. Wishing you a happy, healthy & adventure filled 2014.
The same to you, Val. Great hearing from you!
Merry Christmas Sue, Spike, and Bridget. Look forward to reading your next adventures. Debra and my pups Orlando and Wiley
Hi, Debra…
Bill, Ann, and I — plus our canine crews — are going into Palm Canyon today. I hope to write a post as soon was we return.
Hugs to Orlando and Wiley and best wishes to you three for a marvelous new year!
Hope all your Christmas dreams and wishes come true!
Same to you, Beverly. May 2014 be a great year for you!
Wishing you and the crew the Merriest of Christmases!!
Brian and Carolyn
And Happy New Year to you both!
Merry Christmas RV Sue and Crew !! Love your home !
Thank you, Sue. I, too, love the BLT and the real estate it’s presently sitting on. Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas Sue and Crew!! Hope the New Year is full of all of the wonder that you have already experienced and then a whole bunch more!! Only you know what your deepest heart desire is for 2014…but you have a lot of people sending good thoughts and prayers your way, so I feel like that desire will be met!! Hugs from one of your devoted readers, Sheri
Hi, Sheri,
Yes, I never lack for encouragement because I have this tireless, enthusiastic cheering section! Thank you for being a loyal reader and commenter. Best wishes to you for 2014!
Merry Xmas Sue and the crew! Wishing a healthy and happy 2014. We all look forward to the continuing story of your wonderful travels. Greetings from Australia from GLenda Coco and Chanel !!
Hi, Glenda…
I’m already dreaming of where to go for our 2014 adventures, but am unable to narrow it down to a plan. I love having the states spread out before us like a picnic blanket.
Hope all is well with you. . . Happy New Year!
Love those names, Coco and Chanel… 🙂
And a very merry Christmas to you and the crew.
Thank you, Heda, for stopping by with a wish for us. I hope you are enjoying the holidays!
Happy Christmas to you and the crew!
Hi, Page,
It’s been a wonderful Christmas. I hope yours was, too. Best wishes for the new year!
Late Merry Christmas and an early Happy New Year. Can’t wait so see where we go this year. It is always an adventure, even when it is just Spike soaking or a walk around the desert. Be safe and content this year.
Hi, Jean,
Meet each day freely and openly and the smallest activity can be an adventure. I hope you are loving your life, are healthy and happy throughout 2014 and beyond!
A very Merry Christmas and a glorious New Year to RVSue and her crew. And to all the wonderful people that make this blog so much fun. And to the world we live in, it needs it more than anything. BEST WISHES ALL!
Ditto! A very nice blog to read. Sort of like a family.
Thanks for the delicious dinner! The crew and I enjoyed it very much. (Spike wants you to adopt him.)
Hi, Alan, and thank you. Yes, my blog attracts good people, including you! Thanks for making it a fun place to visit . . .
WoW sounds like you had a very Merry Christmas with Bill and Ann as well as Al and Kelly! Lucky Lady!!! I can’t imagine better company! Merry CHRISTmas to you and belly rubs to all the crew!
Hi, Geri,
It was a great Christmas with friends here at Kofa. I hope your Christmas with family was all you hoped for and more!
It was better than hoped for OR expected! 🙂
That’s great, Geri!
Beautiful card! Merry Christmas RVSue and to the Canine Crew.!
Thanks, Betty-Shea! I hope you are enjoying the holiday season.
Merry Christmas Sue. A little late cause Michigan is socked in with an ice storm and today snow and wind. Say a prayer for all the utilities crew from all over, even working on Christmas Day trying to get the electricity turned back on. Just got caught up with your adventures.
And…..I’ve been to busy enjoying a grandson born Sunday. The first boy to our family of three daughters and four granddaughters.
Congratulations on the arrival of a grandson! Wow! How can you and all the other females in your family possibly resist spoiling the little guy! No doubt it was a merry Christmas in your family . . .
That’s a good reminder re: the people who go out in the cold and stormy weather to work for the public safety and comfort. Thank God there are people willing to do that kind of work!
May your blessings continue in the new year . . .
And a Merry Christmas to you and the crew, Sue! Unfortunately, I got food poisoning from a green smoothie I made Christmas day!
~~Cheryl Ann~~
Oh, Cheryl Ann! That’s the worst! I’m so sorry you were suffering on Christmas Day. I hope you are feeling better today. Thanks for the Christmas greeting!
Merry Christmas Sue and Crew.
Glad to see you had the gifts of good company (Al and Kelly) and lovely Palm Canyon to enjoy. Gotta love those long, bumpy, 10-mph roads in Kofa for that!
Hi, Marianne! Quite the website you have! I hope you are enjoying the holiday season.
Sue, I hope you had a Merry Christmas! You give your readers a gift almost daily, and we all enjoy it and look forward to it each day. I don’t comment often, but I definitely READ often and look longingly at the photos of your adventurous life. I hope 2014 is the best year yet, and can’t wait to see where ‘we’ go in the upcoming year! Hugs!
P.S. I buy through your Amazon link….
The crew and I did have a merry Christmas, thank you. I hope you did, too. I appreciate you reading my blog, enjoying the photos, and shopping through my links. It’s good to hear from you!
I can’t imagine how 2014 could be as great as last year, but I said that the year before and it turned out to be fabulous! Glad to have you riding along with us .. . .
Merry Christmas a day late to all my family on Sue’s blog! I was I the hospital for about 24 hours and on Christmas with viral meningitis. Home now–a dear friend brought me a plate of leftovers and catching up with the blog. Happy holidays, Sue, and thank you for the gift you give us all year!
DeAnne! You’re not supposed to be in the hospital on Christmas! How awful . . When I was a teacher I never got sick on school days. It always happened during vacation or holidays. I hope you feel better soon so you can enjoy the rest of the time you have off from school. Love those pups for me!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and the crew….I cannot wait to continue this journey with you and I am so happy to see you are sharing this Holiday with friends as it should be. Travel safe and enjoy the ride.
Sending you a belated Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year in your travels and on the Blogosphere.
I have been following your blog since its beginning and your preparations for going full time. I fully enjoy your writings and look forward to every new entry.
Looking forward to heading to AZ and Quartzsite area around the 15th of Jan in our Casita.
To you as well Sue n crew…
