RV Life Diaries + RV Tour In Case You Missed It

RV Life Diaries
Hello, my lovely!
We have left Florida behind us and are on our way up north! We've been spending many days on the road as we make it to the northern US, the whole other side of the country. All the travel can definitely get tiring...we are looking forward to staying in the same place for more than a few days once we finally get to our next destination.
In between travel days though, I've been working on hard producing content for you. Now is the time to start following along on Tiktok, Instagram and Youtube because I am now posting about our travels!
I've also been doing a lot of this ⬇️
Links I want to share...
- This dream tea blend from Mountain Rose Herbs reminds me of an herbal dream pillow program I taught in the past as a librarian.
- The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary is now a TV series! I adored this book, can't wait to watch.
- When we were in Asheville, we ate at Chai Pani -- a well reviewed restaurant famous for it's Indian Street Food. It was delicious!

With Love, Melissa Blog Newsletter, Vol. 43 (6/18/24) The Long Drive Home & What We Found There! Hello, my lovely! So we are finally home! I took a couple month break from the blog since we packed a lot of sightseeing and moving research into that time.
