Visiting Roswell

| jamiefeinberg

Most of my stay in the Alamogordo area has been focused on two things: working and walking. I walk every morning and sometimes fit in an additional walk or two. It’s gorgeous.

But on Friday, Ross and I had a meeting with a yoga studio about collaborating. So we took a trip to Roswell!

We aren’t usually that interested in the tourist stuff, but the UFO Museum was an absolute must for us. It was fun, and silly, and fascinating.

We also visited a game store, where Ross got a treat – a Sony PSP, with two games! That should keep him busy for a while.

In addition, we roamed the downtown and hit up a frozen custard place (only okay) and a homemade ice cream place (outstanding!) downtown named Siggy and Opal’s. I highly recommend a stop!

We also caught some views on our drive back. It’s a beautiful, if sometimes bleak, landscape in this part of the state.

Squeak took a walk outside for the first time in about nine months! You can see video of it on our Facebook page.

Speaking of Facebook, I’ve started a group! It’s called Disney World for RVers. If that interests you, please check find us there!

I think that’s it for now. Thanks for reading, and have a great week!

Wacky Weather In New Mexico

| jamiefeinberg

We’ve been enjoying our stay south of Albuquerque, New Mexico. We’ve been cooking up delicious Mexican and New Mexican cuisine (easy on a budget here) and we even celebrated Ross’ birthday by playing his new video game (yes, I played with him!) and having an incredible dinner out by a little cantina with an owner who’s extremely versed in what it means to be gluten-free.Pack’s Restaurant, Willard, NM | Ross and Jamie Adventure

100% gluten free…and options for celiacs too!

They even gave Ross cake for his birthday! And the taco was literally the best I’ve ever had. (The shell was perfection.) In other words, life is good. But boy, the weather has been ridiculous! We’ve been through two winter storm warnings (that disrupted our plans) and one “special weather statement” in only a couple of weeks. Braving the wind we expected, and the cold, but not the snow!

At least the views are gorgeous!

Nevertheless, we extended our stay here. Since we are trading for a campsite, it let’s us conserve our limited funds. And honestly, the people here are just fabulous. We spent about seven hours partying (with outstanding food) the day before Christmas Eve, and on New Year’s Eve we contributed to a potluck and played games for more than four hours before relaxing on our own. We’ve eaten and drank well throughout and have really enjoyed getting to know everyone here.

Workampers are some of the best people! Christine, Deanise and owner Ruth.

Nevertheless, it’s time to move on. The cold is wearing out our RV gear and the snow is getting to us mentally. Time to seek warmer climates and enjoy exploring new cities.

We will be staying in the Alamogordo area next, and we will be playing music while we are there. Where we book work will help dictate our future travels.

Thanks to all of the friends and family who made this holiday season special, wherever we were. Squeak, Ross and I resolve to eat more frozen custard and green chiles in the coming month.

Thanks for reading, and have a great week!

Doctor’s Orders: You Need More Nature

| jamiefeinberg

I think we all know we’d like to get outside more. But have you read about the growing body of science supporting that?

I wrote an article on a recent study about this for Outdoorsy. Hope you enjoy it and get some outdoors time this winter!

p.s. I recently updated our Recommendations page. It’s a great resource, especially for RVers and campers or people curious about working remotely. Please take a look and share with others who might be interested! If you purchase with our link, we get cash back or an extended membership.
