Yakima SkyBox 16 Carbonite on a 3rd gen Prius
With the addition of a baby, we need to expand the Prius’ cargo space to accommodate for the new little member of the family when we hit the road for road trips. Since I was not able to discuss the Yakima SkyBox 16 Carbonite in as much detail as I would like to in a previous post (First “Real” Road…
First “Real” Road Trip With Our Infant in Our 3rd Gen Prius
Many parents we’ve conversed with said that once our newborn enters the world, our favorite pastimes and routines will all go out the window. Instead, sleepless nights and nonstop exhaustion will take their place. While I do not 100% dispute that statement at all, I don’t agree with it completely either. Sure, our daily routines will be altered to accommodate the…
DIY: How to Install Winter / Snow Tire Chains On Your Prius
It has been a while since I had to install snow tire chains on a car, but driving up to Vancouver, B.C. in late December, and doing multiple side stops along the way, I figured I grab a pair for those “just-in-case” moments (even though Vancouver is known for mild but wet winters). This article illustrates the basic of how…
Winter Road Trip to Vancouver, B.C. With Stops
Every year, we try to embark on one road trip. I’m not talking about a regular 400+ mile round trip road trip to the Central Coast (i.e. San Luis Obispo), I’m referring to a road trip that would last over 1,500 miles. For 2013, we drove from Los Angeles to Palm Desert, to Monterey, to Sonoma County, to Reno before returning.…

Another road trip completed! Well, this road trip ended two weeks ago and I just gotten around to write about it. This road trip coincided with the July 4th holiday weekend, affording us extra days. We both got Thursday and Friday paid holiday off and used three paid vacation days to take advantage of taking an entire week off for…
Happy New Year 2012
I just returned from our 10-day road trip to Northern California. Suffice to say, it was a refreshing and respite retreat from the hectic life of Los Angeles. Shaggy, our adopted guinea pig survived the 1,600+ mile round-trip and was glad to be home. I am surprised to find that all the plants and all the fishes, with exception to…
End of 2011 Sojourn for Two
I haven’t finish writing about my End of 2009 Sojourn and here I am preparing for part two of the Northern California escape! The trip will take place on the same week, last week of December, 12/24/11 through 1/2/11. The main difference this time around is I will be taking my girlfriend with me and the trip will be 4…
How to prepare for a road trip
I like to take road trips (for leisure or business) on an occasional basis. Aside from having an ample amount of gas on hand at all time, in order to mitigate any headaches, you and your vehicle must be prepared to take the road trip. I’ve created a simple check list that you can use, based on my experience and recommendation…
