? Insurance Terms Explained: With Dogs, in 90 Seconds! ? Westfield Insurance + Newstate Nomads
Insurance doesn't need to be difficult. With help from our dogs Scout and Piper, we've teamed up with @Westfield Insurance to help all of us better understand several common terms for any type of insurance (Dog Food Insurance might not be a real thing YET, but don't tell Scout that! ??). Dogs make everything better, right?

We're racing across the Southwestern US for a couple good reasons, but wow is it hot right now! After leaving San Miguel de Allende, we reached Tucson in just 5 days INCLUDING stopping for a few days in one of our favorite remote towns, Marathon, TX.
This week's episode we swept across Texas, with a visit to the small town of Marathon. Located almost 100 miles north of Big Bend National Park, Marathon is a great basecamp to explore Big Bend if you are unable to stay inside the park (like right now during COVID-19). We love staying at the Marathon Motel & RV Park (which is also a member of Passport America. Bonus!). Not only does it offer full hookups, beautiful courtyards and scenery, but when the skies are clear the manager offers free nightly stargazing parties featuring his collection of large telescopes! Located down the street is the famous, fancy, and fabulous Gage Hotel. If you're looking for a premium steakhouse, the restaurant on the grounds is your ticket to a great meal and premium cocktails. We also returned to the delicious sister property of the Gage, Brick Vault Brewery & Barbecue. During COVID-19 restrictions, the outside patio is open or you can get takeout. For a hotel-affiliated restaurant, Brick Vault is a premium price, but still provides good value with generous portion sizes of their delicious BBQ and sides.
Unfortunately, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis battery in our RV was beginning to show signs of failure, unable to hold a charge for even a few days. After speaking with Mercedes-Benz phone support, they connected us with two dealerships that could replace the battery under warranty. Only one had technicians available in a timeframe that would work for us, Tucson, AZ. After a few days visiting south Texas, we made a very early departure to reach Tucson in one long day.
Little known fact, Katelyn LOVES cacti (specifically Saguaro cactus), and Tucson is one of the best places to see a LOT of the them. We decided to stay, in the dead middle of summer, at the Gilbert Ray campground (a county park adjacent to Saguaro National Park West). This may sound a little crazy in 100deg+ heat, but thanks to 30amp electricity at every site, we could fight back the heat for one night with sweet A/C. Gilbert Ray is possibly Katelyn's favorite campground, thanks to the cactus in every direction AND in your campsite. Photos galore to follow.

What if we told you a Caribbean beach vacation is possible RIGHT NOW?!! I surprised Howard with a vacation to Aruba (even with restrictions, travel during COVID-19 is definitely possible), and we show you how you can safely do it too!
Watch Part 2: Exploring Aruba -What to See, Do and Eat!
?? https://youtu.be/HvQQZO710mQ
This week, we share the experience of booking a trip and the requirements to enter Aruba on vacation. The process is quite straightforward, and includes a negative COVID-19 test less than 72 hours from departure to Aruba, completion of an online form and purchasing of a mandatory COVID-19 travel insurance policy ($30 ordered directly with Aruba). This will result in a special PDF form with a QR code that you must show before boarding your flight to Aruba. Upon arrival on the island, you will also need to present a paper or digital copy of the negative COVID-19 test.

A warning for every dog owner! How a small dog bite from our lovable rescue dog turned into a serious infection.
We’ve had some regression with our two puggles and newly adopted Mexican beach dog, Scout. You might remember, Scout's animal rescue story went viral earlier this year. Things were going great until recently. The dogs have been fighting in the RV and I did what everyone (and common sense) tells you not to do. I tried to break it up by grabbing them and wound up with a dog bite.
The bite itself wasn't bad, but the infection that followed was brutal. We went to urgent care as soon as it happened, they cleaned it and put me on amoxicillin. But within 24 hours, the swelling and pain was getting worse. Most concerning were the red streaks extending up my arm all the way to my shoulder, a major sign that infection is spreading and needs to be treated ASAP.
So a little over 24 hours after the dog bite happened, we made an emergency room visit where I was admitted for my first ever hospital stay and spent the next 3 days. They switched my antibiotics which I was receiving three times a day via IV. Thankfully, they did their job and no surgery was required to drain the infection.
Sadly, Scout, our rescue pup, was the one who bit me. She absolutely did not mean it and was in full defense mode. We went back to the drawing board on dealing with the dog aggression issues and enlisted the help of a professional dog trainer.
We still have a lot of work ahead of us to deal with the behavioral issues and it’s been an emotional few weeks.
Our thanks to Steve Delaney from the Dog House located in Breckenridge, Colorado as well as the amazing medical team at St. Anthony Summit Medical Center in Frisco, Colorado.
