Is it possible to capture the amazingness of Jonathan Coulton's JoCo Cruise in words? No, but Scott and Amanda try anyway on this episode of Tow for the Road, a podcast on wheels....errrr...waves.

Recorded live aboard Holland America's ms Oosterdam during the final night at sea, Scott and Amanda are joined by fellow first time Sea Monkeys Heather and Greg. Listen in to our stateroom shenanigans while we share our thoughts on the cruise. Spoiler: The cake was great. (#SorryNotSorry for including another Portal reference in the episode title/description.)

Please be aware that unlike earlier episodes this one includes swearing, in case you listen with children.

WiFi alert! Our final eight-hour episode is here! Scott wraps up his solo journey from the North Coast to Gulf Coast. He's still listening to old movies, calling friends on the phone, rating bathrooms on a scale of poutine, and most certainly not going slowly insane... all in the name of podcasting!

WiFi alert! If you're surprised to see an eight-hour episode appear on your feed, we're just as surprised we could upload it. Join Scott on the first half of his solo journey from the North Coast to Gulf Coast as he listens to old movies, calls friends on the phone, and destroys his ability to have an internal monologue ... all in the name of podcasting!

The good news is that Scott survived his 20-hour "North Coast to Gulf Coast" solo drive. The not-so-good news is that if you’ve been waiting to hear what 20 hours on the road sounds like, you'll have to wait just a little longer. We decided to switch up our New Orleans episodes so that you hear all about our experience in the Big Easy, then go back in time to hear how Scott got there.

In this episode, we discuss our adventure in New Orleans, where we each did a bit of individual exploration and then spent one marathon of a day hitting up the food, shopping and sightseeing on our must-visit list. Check it out to hear all about the delicious, eclectic, and macabre sides of New Orleans we experienced, plus learn about a new-to-us tool that came in really handy for planning our trip and exploring the city.

We went to our first-ever RV show! As much as we love our current teardrop trailer, we know that one day we're going to need to upgrade. The recent Ohio RV Supershow was the perfect excuse to start scoping out the options. We learned a lot about one another’s personal preferences for RV life, hung out in a motorhome that had a kitchen larger than our house's kitchen, and Scott got one step closer to living his dream of meeting Yogi Bear.
