Bidding Farewell


It was a wonderful season of camping in the T@B. It is such a fun little camper that is easy to tow, and once you get it to your campsite, you can even maneuver it by hand and position it so that you get the very best views. The bed size is more than ample, and the trailer includes camping luxuries like a 2-burner stove, air conditioner, heater, and kitchen sink, not to mention a fair amount of storage space - not bad for a tiny trailer.

Nevertheless, and with many mixed feelings, I decided to sell the T@B and upgrade to a larger trailer with a few more accessories and camping conveniences. So, I posted an ad on Craigslist, and I was able to sell it quickly to a couple from Arizona. We met halfway in Albuquerque, and as luck would have it, the time we chose to finalize the transaction was the same weekend as the Albuquerque Balloon Festival. I've never seen so many hot air balloons - it was really a fantastic sight.

Of course, I was very sorry to see the T@B go, but I was also looking forward to its replacement. I've always admired the Airstream trailers with their sleek, modern design, and shiny exteriors. As it turned out I was able to find a gently used Airstream Bambi trailer a few months later . You can see a blog of my many Airstream camping adventures here (coming soon).
