    November 3, 2024 - By mscapades

    Leaving Paducah felt like the start of an exciting new chapter—our RV journey southward was anything but straightforward!

    October 30, 2024 - By mscapades

    As we wrapped up the first leg of our journey, I found myself reflecting on everything we’d learned—about travel, family, and living with MS. It wasn’t always easy.

    October 30, 2024 - By mscapades

    RV life comes with its fair share of unexpected surprises. Somewhere in Alabama, we discovered a small leak in our shower skylight. Not the kind of thing you want to deal with on a long trip, but certainly not a trip-ender either. Instead of stressing out, we quickly ordered caulk…

    Living with MS: Pacing Myself on the Open Road

    October 30, 2024 - By mscapades

    Road trips sound fun and spontaneous, right? But with Multiple Sclerosis, spontaneity has limits. Long hours on the road, managing fatigue, and keeping up with MS symptoms meant I had to pace myself constantly. We took plenty of breaks—not just to see the sights but to make sure I could…

    October 30, 2024 - By mscapades

    Now, you might think traveling means stepping away from daily responsibilities. But as anyone who’s in the sandwich generation knows, family responsibilities follow you, even on the road. My mom, who’s been struggling with memory issues lately, called me multiple times during the trip, unsure of where I was. “Where…

    October 30, 2024 - By mscapades

    When most people think of RV adventures, they imagine relaxation, scenic views, and the freedom to just unplug. Well, not for me—at least not entirely. Working remotely from an RV is both a blessing and a curse. It gives you the flexibility to travel, but at the same time, you’re…
