Ross Gellar Ambassador of Chicago
Waking up in our parking garage/makeshift hotel, was nice. I think we’re finally getting used to sleeping in the van. The bed is really comfortable. But its only a full sized bed and its exactly 6′ 1″ long with 30″ to the ceiling, so it takes a little getting used to. We went down stairs [...]
Time Travel
This morning we woke up at the KOA at Lake Michigan. Ricky got up to take a shower, and as per usual instructed me to “keep sleeping, my love” (isn’t he so cute??). But to his surprise, when he got back from showering I was dressed, had already pulled back all the curtains on the [...]

Welcome to Hell
This morning we woke up at the TA truck stop just outside Ann Arbor, Michigan. Believe it or not, Ricky slept in till about 8:30am! Maybe because he knew we had a pretty chill day ahead of us, his adrenaline wasn’t juicing through his veins like cocaine. I started the day with one of those [...]
Holy, Toldeo!
We woke up this morning on Catawba Island, which really isn’t an island its a peninsula. Its a beautiful small town on Lake Erie in Ohio. Its got a definite orient feel. There’s a ferry that takes people to a couple of different islands off the coast, so there is lots of free overnight parking. [...]
Great Lakes Hurricane Evacuation
Surprise, surprise.. Ricky was up at 5am this morning, while Jillian slept in till 8. While roaming the campsite Ricky found a weird church tower. A sign on the door read “This room is for private prayer and meditation, please use it alone”. He opened the door to find only a chair, table, and bible. [...]
400 Pounds of Chocolate
It’s offical, i’m as far west as i’ve ever been in my life. When we woke up besides the train tracks surrounded by factory buildings unharmed, we realized we survived the night. Next it was off to find restrooms in the city. Jillian put on her most amish looking attire, complete with socks (look at [...]
I Do Not Operate at a Ricky Saetta Pace
OK. Day 3 of the road trip- Rise and shine at 6am to begin the 4 hour drive from Lancaster to Pittsburgh… well, that’s when Ricky started his day. I spent another 2.5 hours slumbering in the back of the van while Ricky drove. I finally got up around 8:30 when we got to a [...]
Yinz Ready For This?
Pittsburgh was the Shitzburgh. I really like the feel of the city. Lots of bridges, very hilly, interesting neighborhoods, and an industrial feel. Would be a cool city to bike in. Here’s some Day 3 Pics. Check out the view….. Feeding Birds at the National Aviary….. Mattress Factory….. Look At Us Being Fancy….. Hotel Saetta [...]
All About Food Dood
Back at the campsite. Just got a fire going. Jillian is sleeping again. So we started today off with showers. Since they’ll probably be few and far between, we have to cherish everyone. Campsites are awesome. Electric, showers, laundry rooms, fire pits, and fellow travelers, plus fairly cheap tent sites. They are definitely gonna be [...]
