At this point, if you're bored of reading, I'll leave this link for the video Elizabeth has edited. This covers the timeline from our flight over to our dinner at the Monal. Enjoy!

Dinner, of course, was late in the day (for me, I'm used to having a 6 or 7 PM dinner). We left Islamabad proper at roughly 9PM (I really wasn't keeping track of the time, though – but that doesn't mean my body wasn't feeling the time difference) and the van driver took us out to the Margalla...

From Lok Virsa we were driven the short distance to the Pakistan Monument and Museum. The Monument is a huge multi paneled display symbolizing the unity of the Pakistani people and dedicated to the people who sacrificed their today for a better tomorrow. The four large petals represent the...

We were driven back to the AirBnB and Beth and I quickly fell asleep in the comfort of our newly air conditioned room. In the morning she and I woke up quite early, us still being on US time and all. I went downstairs to make coffee so we could sit on our balcony and enjoy the morning bird show...

Our handler led us on through the crowd, through another security checkpoint where they scanned our backpacks. As we headed to baggage claim, Madeline and Umar, along with Umar's entire family appeared out of the crowd. With hugs and laughter all around we greeted our family. Umar's mom asked...

Once there we paused in the waiting area, we still had no tickets at this point, just a reservation confirmation. Beth walked up to the man behind the desk, showed him the reservation she had on her phone and he said, “No Problem” He seemed quite dismissive, and we thought it was maybe because...

Saturday May 25th seemed like it took forever to get here! After nearly a year of planning (thank you Umar for doing such a fine job helping us prepare!) the day finally arrived for us to fly! The day itself dragged on for what felt like a couple more days. Our plane was scheduled to depart...

SO, YOU WANT TO GO TO PAKISTAN? This was the question our son-in-law asked us last summer. While I do admit, Pakistan was not on my short list of places to visit, I couldn't say yes fast enough. I love to travel, to see new places, it's exciting and this time we would be sharing the experience...

Do you like camping on a beach? Bird watching? Bananas Foster? Fishing? Driving your 4x4 in the sand? Off road Bocce Ball? If you like any one of these things, you would enjoy a trip to Cape Lookout National Seashore. We managed to pack all of these activities into four days of fun in the sun...

I added shocks to my 3500 pound teardrop after 6 years of use. They made a noticeable difference in towing on all roads - paved, unpaved, washboard, rocky or dirt two tracks. It was enough to make me wonder why I didn't have them in the first place. Secondarily, I'm running standard trailer...

What do you do when one of your bestest friends calls you with a problem? You help them solve it, of course. When our friend Jay called and said that his beloved Flippac Camper had delaminated, we ran to North Carolina and spent 5 days in May fixing it. We cut out the floor and made a new 3/4...

Our trip to the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area of Tennessee last April was amazing! We had no idea this truly remarkable place existed. Waterfalls, caves and arches, and arches inside a cave! If you're in Tennessee and wish to escape the crowds of the Smoky Mountains, this is...

Not really an Overland trip, but the Big South Fork River and Recreation Area was an unknown place to us. I had no clue that there was so much to see and do in such a small area of Tennessee and Kentucky. If you like hikes, waterfalls, caves and stone arches it really is worth your time to...

Yes they are! We found them just from dumb luck. I did post on r/bajacalifornia, here, facebook and anywhere else I could think that might have people that would know who might be able to help. By being a little nosy we dumbed onto Bastidas before I could get any helpful replies. Someone did...

South to Baja Part 8 Our Return to the States Look at us! We finally made it to the end of our trip! Look at you! You've finally made it to the end of our video series! This is the last episode of our Baja video series. We sincerely hope that you have enjoyed watching it as much as we enjoyed...

Thanks for reading and watching. The turnaround was amazing. I've never had any business in the states drop everything they were doing to help me. Ì always get told the "our regular customers were here first, so you'll have to wait until we catch up" Which sounds reasonable in one sense but...

Thank you. Not sure that I understand your question though. If you mean, did I feel safe at a place but then something made me feel unsafe at that place? No, I felt safe enough to sleep at night and never left a camp spot due to an insecure feeling. If you mean, was I just be-bopping down...

Thank you! We're really glad you liked it! Sent from my SM-G986U1 using Tapatalk
