This morning we woke up in New Orleans. Pleasantly, we were more well hydrated and rested than one might expect. Claire’s credit card provided a hospitality stipend at the hotel restaurant which Claire generously shared with us honeymooners in the form of breakfast. A couple showers and a packed bag or two later we were…

We left Austin at 8am Friday morning and drove pretty much all day. The main event of the days drive was stopping at Buc-ees for some fresh beef jerky. We were lucky enough to find a dog sitter in the suburb of Metairie who was also willing to host the van in her driveway for…

As I ended the last post, Hitched and Rolling is mostly about people. No place is a better example of that than Austin, Texas. I used to live in Austin so I know a few people here, and seeing them, catching up, and spending time was pretty much the top priority for this stop. We…

Leaving San Diego’s beach and surf we entered into a fog dense enough such that everyone had their hazard lights on. We crawled along at half pace following signs for i8 and eventually and found our way there, only to find the fog abruptly clear which revealed a phenomenon totally foreign to us: the sun…

We got into San Diego in the afternoon and met up with Laura (Bre’s friend, a nurse, known as sweet Laura because she is one of the sweetest people we know). We went to a beach called dog beach and I have never seen a place more aptly named. There must have been 30 dogs…

This morning we woke up on a quiet neighborhood street in Santa Monica. Sleeping in a residential area is not prohibited per se, but it’s not comfortable either, because there is always a feeling that someone might knock on the window and ask what you are doing. It feels.. frowned upon, and therefore is not…

We woke up at vinyl vineyards and did a sweep to ensure that everything was orderly (the campsite rule: leave it better than you found it) before getting back on the road. We went into downtown Paso Robles where Bre and Grant grabbed some coffee and pastries and we walked around. Paso has some cool…

As much as we enjoyed our time in Carmel it was time to put the oceanside town in the rear view mirror. But before we could do that we had an errand to do. Namely laundry. Bre took command of the laundry situation, as there was a coin operated laundromat just a block and a…

December 5 and 6 By Grant Raffel I was honored to be a part of the one and only Hitched and Rolling Tour, and even more so to contribute a guest post to the blog. So here it goes. The van got a predictably late start after a big night out in San Francisco but eventually made…

We woke up in San Francisco in somewhat less than spritely fashion and took an uber (with a driver) to a little diner for breakfast and a Bloody Mary to help soften the landing. It didn’t really work. We went back to the hotel, showered, and took another uber to go pick up the car…
