  • Well.. we left Wilmington all of 36 hours before we returned to attend to Kiki's health. We ended up sticking around several more weeks, and helping her cross the rainbow bridge - leaving us without an Admiral.
    Join us for some tears as we try to resume our Great Loop journey without her. But we do.. with stops in Carolina Beach, Wrightsville Beach, Swansboro, Beaufort and New Bern.

    ----------------------------------
    We're Cherie & Chris and we've been full time technomads since 2006. We are owned by Kiki (meow).
    We have a fleet of nomadic vessels that we split our time between - a 1961 GM 4106 vintage bus, a 1999 Bayliner 4788 motor yacht and a 2020.5 Travato GL van conversion. You'll find RV, van and boat life content here, as we feel inspired to share - sometimes topical, sometimes travelogues, sometimes just hanging out.
    We love sharing a slice of our life with others, and also blog at www.technomadi..., Facebook and Instagram. We use the name 'Technomadia' in all those places. Come join the adventure however you choose!
    Income generation is NOT a goal of ours under the 'Technomadia' brand - we do this for fun.
    Our full time 'job' is running the Mobile Internet Resource Center, where we track and educate RVers and cruisers on their options for keeping connected. Come join us at www.RVMobileInt... for news, guides, reviews and courses. We also have a dedicated TH-cam channel / mobileinternetresource... you can subscribe to. Through member funding, we can give away a lot of free content - and our members get even more.

    You did everything the same way we did. No special procedures, not having to leave home on the last day. So glad you were her guardians. Now she's making friends on the Rainbow Bridge :)

    My fiance and I saw Why Not at Waterside over the weekend of Sept 21. We didn't see you anywhere around. We had hoped to meet up with you sometime. We live in Great Bridge. You must have been out enjoying the sights.
    We were in our GB 36 Woodie, with the teal and peach hull.

    Hugs, at home is they way to go, been there, several times. When my dog couldn't roll over for belly rubs, was one of the saddest moments of my life. The worst is when you are cleaning up and come across one of their hidden treasures, takes the wind out of you. Give yourself the space and grace to sit in it a bit when you go get Zypher this winter

    We had them come to our house when it was our dog Jazzys time. It's the best decision in a sad time. She was in her house and not at a place animals don't like to go to for her last minutes , and her family was with her😢.

    Well it has been 7 years that we experienced the same heartbreak of when to let our beloved dog Maddi pass on, and we still are not over losing her, and have many crying jags, so I feel for you both and hope that your memories will ease some of the pain of losing your best fried.
