Welcome back to the podcast! Today we're giving an update on our travels for the last few weeks. We visited Teton National Park in June, which was a lot different than the last time in September.

We're here today to tell you why you SHOULD NOT live in an RV and travel. If you can believe it, RV life is not all rainbows.  On Youtube, you see many of this lifestyle's fantastic parts. We want to share the things that might make you want to stay rooted in one place. You can overcome these snags, especially if the open road is calling your name. https://thefaiolas.com/37

Oh boy, do we have the Colorado bug. We only spent a few weeks in a tiny area, but we can't wait to return. For nine days, we stayed near Boulder and drove into the Rocky Mountains as much as we possibly could! Rocky Mountain National Park was absolutely breathtaking! https://thefaiolas.com/36

We are excited to let you in on some family news - we're getting a puppy! You get to hear us tell the girls for the first time about the puppy. We drove through Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas to Colorado. We had to stay and go on an adventure to claim the states. https://thefaiolas.com/35

The RV lifestyle is a hot topic when we meet new people, and they always have many questions. This episode of the podcasts is all the questions we get asked. https://thefaiolas.com/32

We use a few different memberships to save us money throughout the year. With so many types of memberships, it’s hard to find one that fits your needs. We have been burned before, and we wanted to share things to look out for so it doesn’t happen to you. https://thefaiolas.com/31

The last few months in Florida have kept us quite busy. We have visited 2 National Parks and visited with family in March. We had four birthdays, explored Weeki Wachi State Park, relaxed on a few beaches, and saw some rocket launches. https://thefaiolas.com/30

January is the month we started our full-time RV journey. Therefore, we are sharing our story over a few different podcasts episodes. Last week we discussed why we decided to start this adventure on the road and buying the RV. Shownotes: thefaiolas.com/28
2017 was our first full year with our new RV, and we decided to test it camping and "living" in it as much as we could. We moved some of our things from the house to the RV in late spring. RVing was entirely new for us. We never even drove one! That summer, we took some short trips and even a week-long vacation across Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

We are ready for 2022 and super excited to tell you all our plans for the new year. In this episode, we discuss the route we plan to take and the goals for the year. We will also start telling you why we decided to live in an RV and go full-time. Shownotes: https://thefaiolas.com/27

We had a lot of "firsts" together as a family—Grizzly Bears, Black Bears, Moose, dolphins, manatees, wildfires, and more. Shownotes: https://thefaiolas.com/26

A big question that we get when we talk to people about the RV full-time living lifestyle is how we get packages and mail. In this podcast episode, we discuss options and tips on making sure you get your goodies while on the road. https://thefaiolas.com/25

The first question we get 80% of the time is how do you live in an RV with your family? It's funny how many people can't understand how we live in such a small space with our kids or each other. In this podcast episode, we go over tips that helped us in the last couple of years. https://thefaiolas.com/24

Lexie picked the Great Smoky Mountains for her birthday, and I was super worried. I was thinking small mountain town – this was the exact opposite of what I was thinking. Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg were super fun towns with tons of fun things to do. SHOWNOTES: thefaiolas.com/21

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is Tony's favorite, and after this episode of the podcast, we hope it's at the top of your list to visit. If you are looking for an epic fall trip, this is the place! https://thefaiolas.com/20
