Welcome!
Welcome to Big Willy Adventures with John and Christina George.
We recently retired, and in the spirit of life is short, we purchased an Airstream travel trailer that we promptly named “Air Willy” in honor of Willy Nelson and his famous hit “On the road again” (which was the first album Christina ever owned). Having been blessed to see some of the world outside the US while we were still working, we wanted to turn our attention to seeing as much as we could of what our home country has to offer.
We created this site for our family and friends as a way to share our journey, help everyone keep up with our adventures, and capture memories before our old brains forget them. We certainly aren’t trying to be bloggers, or influencers, or travel experts. This isn’t for the whole world. Its just for us and you…the people we care the most about.
We will use this site to try to capture the highlights of our domestic travels (and maybe some international stuff too). Hopefully, you will get to see some cool and beautiful things, maybe learn a useless piece of knowledge or two, and share in the fun and funny we experience along the way.
We hope this site inspires you to explore new places and catch up with us. Feel free to leave comments or maybe even join us on our adventures!
Getting Started
When we told people we were planning to do some traveling during retirement, the general response was “that’s great!” When we told people we were going to be doing that traveling in an Airstream, a few asked us if we were crazy and a fair number more looked at us like we were! If we had to guess now, we’d say that there are probably still some shaking their heads and rolling their eyes when we aren’t looking. Regardless, here we go. Yes, we have a lot to learn, but like John’s mom used to say, if you don’t try new things, how will you ever know if you like them? Granted, she was talking about vegetables, but the principle holds.
