The Vawter Family – Vawters on the Water

April 14, 2021 by Dave5 Comments

Q. Please introduce your family to our readers. ​We are the Vawter family. In 2015 we sold or gave away everything we owned and moved aboard our 43ft sailboat. We have been living a location independent life ever since. The girls were 7 and 8 when we moved aboard and now, our eldest is about to enter high school! It’s been a pretty crazy ride. We had intended to do a 5 year circumnavigation, but we ended up taking a much more circuitous … [Read more...]

Applying for a New Passport or Renewing a Passport? A few Details to Consider

April 6, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

After traveling for much of the past 20 years, a passport has became a critical part of my travel identity. I remember the anticipation and excitement of when I first applied for a passport. I informed my parents that I would be going to Costa Rica as part of an extra curriculum educational trip related to a biology class at college - my first trip abroad. I did not yet have a passport and this was around when the Internet was still in its … [Read more...]

Can You Travel with CBD Oil? Products Worth Considering

April 3, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

CBD oil has become an ever-present part of our lives. We can put it in our coffee, our baths, or carry it around in bags as a lotion. We can even buy CBD treats for our pets. Still, no matter how present it is, many people don’t know much about its legalities and rules. There is a lot of misinformation going around about CBD and its legal aspects, and a lot of that stems from unclear regulations. If you’re planning on traveling and taking … [Read more...]

Dalat, Vietnam, City of Flowers and Fun

April 1, 2021 by Dave3 Comments

We drove up from Mui Ne to Dalat - beginning at the coast with hot and humid temperatures passing by fields of dragon fruit plants. As we drove we began to climb into the mountains, leaving the dragon fruit farms behind, replaced by coffee trees growing on steep hillsides. It is refreshing to be in the mountains with the cleaner air and crystal clear skies. We arrived during the week of Tet, the Vietnamese and Chinese New Year and the city … [Read more...]

China Ranch Date Farm & Bakery – April 2021

April 1, 2021 by DaveLeave a Comment

Most likely the most northern commercial date farm in the state of California - this remote ranch is well worth making the trek out to buy delicious dates (some 1,500 trees and 20 varieties). Located about 90 minutes from Las Vegas and 4 hours from Los Angeles. The property has a fascinating history - settled by a Chinese man who came here pre-1900 after working the Borax mines in Death Valley. He mysteriously disappeared (probably forcibly run … [Read more...]
