One of the easiest and wonderful dinners is broiled Salmon. I use Atantic Salmon because it is milder and plentiful. Suggestion for two people:
Ingredients:
I upgraded the 3G MiFi device last August to the 4G model and it was totally unreliable in a 3G network. I probaly have over a dozen calls to tech support with no luck getting it fixed. It was even replaced once, Simm card replaced and firmware upgraded.
You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again...
A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans.. She let them sit and boil; without saying A word.

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and didn't get tested for diabetes. We were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-base paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had baseball caps not helmets on our heads. As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts, no air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes. Riding in the back of a pick-up truck on a warm day was always a special treat. We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and no one actually died from this. We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter and bacon. We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sugar. And, we weren't overweight. WHY?
The On The Go portable water softener we purchased over a year ago is doing its job nicely (see this entry: A portable Water Softener ...). Here's a follow up on our experience and some helpful tips:
1) Interested in purchasing a softener? Go to the RV Water Filter Store; a dealer offering different brands and accessories. Rick Dahl is a very knowledgeable owner and available to answer questions over the phone. Also check out prices at On The Go Portable Softeners.

A three day stay very close to Jacksonville on our way to Orlando. Woodalls rated 5 W's and I might agree if it wasn't located right on the landing path of the Jacsonville International Airport. Otherwise, nicely laid out with 70 foot level, concrete pads. Sites are 40 feet wide so we have a little more space than usual.
Standard price of $42/night is OK for the quality. They also take Good Sam as well as Passport America at 50% off per night. Were members so $21/night is a real bargain! http://www.pecanparkrvresort.com/index.php

Stayed here when visiting Savannah because it was the closest to the city (about 15 miles) and Woodalls rated it 3 W's, the highest in the area. It is one W too high and surely not a "resort." Location is convenient but facilities are old, not well maintained, sites not level and average price. Staff was friendly. Nice store with a gas staion which is unusual.
BTW, website is awful http://www.savannahoaks.net/
Otherwise, Savannah is a great city to visit. Little known fact: Port has the highest volume of shipping in North America.
This is an important question for RV full timers and requires some research. There are several factors to consider:
After three years traveling the country full time in the Providence, the headlights were looking dim and cloudy. I purchased the Mothers PowerBall 4Lights Headlight Restoration All-In-One kit at a local auto parts store. I had high hopes that it was going to work but was cautiously optimistic.
Just got through using it and am delighted! Here's a before and after shot (click image for large view) :
Learned a little in the process:
Upgraded to 4G MiFi when we were in the Denver area a week ago. We have not been in 4G coverage until now; Sioux Falls, SD. I must say the speed difference is incredible. So far, the upgrade was a smart decision.
It's April, 2011 traveling up the Pacific Coast and detoured into the Willamette Valley; Oregon's premier wine country. We were pleasantly surprised to find Olde Stone Village, a wonderful RV park in McMinnville, Oregon. Just had to add it to Best of the Best.
Added our Road Calendar summary to the sidebar. It will always show where we are and where we are going for the next 30 days.
Traveling up the California, Oregon and Washington coast on HWY 101 this spring. Four Seasons RV Resort is our first stop in Oregon and what a pleasant surprise. A small park with what appears a few semi-permanent residents but has about a half dozen pull-in sites right on the Bank of the Rogue River. Four Seasons is about 8 miles up the river from Gold Beach. Here's my Facebook post:Another rainy day on the Oregon coast. We may extend our stay another couple of days (forecast fair and sunny) overlooking the Rogue River. Very relaxing to hear the rushing sound of the river and watching for wildlife. Not in a hurry to go anywhere. What could be better?
This is a west coast favorite (my east coast friends will not be able to find easily):
A Little History (from Wikipedia):
The tri-tip is a cut of beef from the bottom sirloin primal cut.[1] It is a small triangular muscle, usually 1.5 to 2.5 lbs. per side of beef.
In the United States, this cut was typically used for ground beef or sliced into steaks until the late 1950s, when it became a local specialty in Santa Maria, California, rubbed with salt, pepper, garlic salt, and other seasonings, cooked over red oak wood and roasted whole on a rotisserie, smoked in a pit, baked in an oven, grilled, or braised by putting a pot on top of a grill, browning the meat directly on the grill surface before and after the braising. (The tri-tip is still often labeled the "Santa Maria steak".) Most popular in the Central Coast of California and Central Valley regions of California,[1] it has begun to enjoy increasing popularity elsewhere for its full flavor, lower fat content, and comparatively lower cost.
President Reagan often had Tri-Tips flown into Washington for special gatherings. An even better history of tri-tip can be found on Susie Q's Santa Maria Style BBQ.
Here's a great way to prepare it ...
We found this roast chicken recipe on Simply Recipes® and was anxious to try it. Excelllent: maybe the most moist roast chicken ever. The thyme and garlic adds a nice subtle accent. Doubled up on the red potatoes and onion instead of the root veggies the recipe calls for.
