Mendenhall Glacier-© Jeff Slapp Photography I have been fortunate to visit Alaska twice. Both times it was through a cruise (Carnival & Princess). If this is how you plan to see Alaska, I highly recommend you do a land tour prior to the cruise. This is the only way you will get to see inner Alaska, away from the commercialized cruise ports. While you can...
Fall Photography In Acadia National Park Jordan Pond Loop-© Jeff Slapp Photography Acadia National Park is currently my favorite National Park that I have visited and it lives up to its designation as the “Crown Jewel of the North Atlantic Coast”. It’s definitely a special place in the Fall with all of the amazing colors. I was able to spend four...
Downtown Nashville-© Copyright Jeff Slapp Photography Nashville is a town that I always wanted to visit and when I saw that the Imaging USA Conference was being held in Mid-January, I decided that this was the perfect opportunity. The conference hotel was very expensive ($200+ per night). The Nashville KOA Resort was only a couple of miles away, and I paid...
Traveling through Texas to Arizona along I-10 is a long drive! After leaving the Cajun Palms RV Resort, my next stop is 490 miles away in Kerrville, Texas. It is a nice and clean RV Campground called Buckhorn Lake Resort. They tout that they are “Simply the finest RV Resort in Texas” located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Good Sams gives them a...

White Sands has been on my list of photography adventures. While there are other things to do such as hiking, biking, backcountry camping...
On my journey back from Arizona, Visiting Carlsbad Caverns National Park was on my list of stops. I had been to Carlsbad Caverns once before and I was impressed with the natural beauty of the caverns so I decided to return on the continuation of my maiden journey with my RV. When searching for RV Campgrounds, I decided to stay at the Carlsbad KOA. Being new to...
During the maiden voyage with my RV, I went to Arizona with big plans but due to my vacation condo selling it quickly became a trip where I loaded up my RV with the belongings I wanted to keep from my RV. Having more stuff than I planned on keeping, I decided to postpone my travels to Sedona and Page Arizona area. So I opted to spend a couple of nights at the...
Planning The Maiden Voyage When I bought my first Class C RV a few months ago, I knew what my first trip was going to be because I actually planned the trip long before I had the RV. I planned it because I knew I would have a Class C RV by the time I hit the road from Florida to Arizona and then on to Utah. When I planned this blog, I was going to share my...
On April 13, 2018, I had the opportunity to sail on the inaugural voyage of the Bahama Paradise cruise line’s newest ship, the Grand Classica. Although the ship is new to their fleet, it is a refurbished ship from Costa Cruise line. My trip was complimentary due to my association with the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), but the typical...
