Abella, our 1966 Airstream Tradewind
Vintage Travel Trailer Show at Modernism Week is collection of beautiful vintage trailers containing a wide array of models and decor. These trailers reflect the decor suited best for the trailer as it was in its decade. Some trailers are original and some have been modified with modern technology and appliances.

The trailers featured in the Modernism Vintage Trailer Show are hand picked and invited only after photos and descriptions of the trailers has been viewed and approved. It is very prestigious to be invited to this show.

This incredible collection of authentic and beautifully restored trailers were displayed in a festive, outdoor showplace located directly behind the Hilton Palm Springs.

Streaming to Fun in the Southwest Winter Caravan.






Sawyer and I are heading out today with the NorCal Airstream "Streaming to Fun in the Southwest" Winter Caravan. First stop is Bakersfield, onto Las Vegas where we will spend three days touring the early influences and history of Las Vegas. We will visit Valley of the Fire which is the oldest state park. We will be touring the Hoover Damn, viewing natural hot springs, hike in Arizona at the Lost Dutchman State Park, river rafting some calm waters, (I will be with some senior citizens) view Suspicion Mountain, see a musical show at Barleen's Arizona Opry and end up in Tuscan for an Airstream event called Alumafiesta. http://alumafiesta.com
There will be more than 100 shiny silver Airstreams there enjoying the activities planned for us. Heading home to California, Sawyer and I will stop over to visit friends in Simi Valley then drive up to Parkfield where I will enjoy a birthday bash with some of my Central Coast Sisters on the Fly. Photos of the trip will be posted.
