When Rob Myers was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, he and his wife, Robyn, came to a simple realization: someday was no longer a promise. It was a risk.
So they hitched up a fifth wheel trailer, later named Scotty, and pulled out of their driveway on Whidbey Island, Washington, with more determination than experience and absolutely no idea what they were doing.
What started as a response to uncertainty turned into a two-year RV journey across North America. Together, Rob and Robyn drove more than 66,000 miles through 49 states, Canada, Alaska, national parks, state parks, private campgrounds, and military FamCamps. Along the way, they crossed mountain passes, traveled the Alaska Highway, wandered small towns, visited family, faced mechanical breakdowns, adjusted to life in 200 square feet, and learned that many of the best moments were never part of the plan.
They also stepped away from RV travel for a nearly two-month European break, spending time in London, Italy, Greece, and on a Mediterranean cruise before returning to the road.
Miles Over Someday is part travel memoir, part RV adventure, and part honest reflection on marriage, faith, family, resilience, and the gift of time. With humor, practical lessons, campground experiences, memorable destinations, and detours that shaped the journey, Rob and Robyn share what it means to stop waiting for the perfect time and start living while you can.
This is not just a story about roads traveled or places visited. It is a story about choosing family, saying yes, adapting when things go wrong, and discovering that the road can change more than your location.
For experienced RVers, future travelers, national park lovers, military campground travelers, empty nesters, and anyone who has ever said "someday," this book is a reminder that life is not a rough draft, and the right time to live it may never arrive.
