Welcome To JacknDiane.net
Hey there! We’re Jack and Diane Noel. We began our journey in 2022 when we purchased our first Airstream, a 27’ FBQ Flying Cloud affectionately named Maria. She was a dependable companion for two rookies for 3.5 years, taking us on many adventures.
In May 2025, we picked up our new 2025 Classic 28RBT, which we’ve named Frances. We’re filled with anticipation for the opportunities and adventures that await us in this new rig.
Our travels in 2025 took us to Jekyll Island, Georgia, the Top of Georgia Airstream Park in Helen, Georgia, and Lakewood Camping Resort in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. These three destinations were part of our membership with the South Carolina Coastal Airstream Club. We’ll also make several trips closer to home to our favorite places, including the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Natchez, Mississippi, Gulf Shores, Foley, and Birmingham, Alabama.
Starting as nervous beginners, with each trip we have become more confident and comfortable exploring some great new places. Each experience has helped shape us. Challenges become lessons and destinations become fond memories.
Now, we’re excited to plan longer trips, checking off our bucket list destinations and turning our dreams into reality. The road ahead is full of possibilities, and we can’t wait to embrace them. Our pre-planned trips for 2026 include ACI Trips with the Region 3 Rally at Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo Campground in Lakeland, Florida, a South Carolina Coastal Club rally to Palmetto Cove RV Park in Cleveland, South Carolina, a Georgia on My Mind trip at Skidaway Island State Park in Savannah, Georgia, and Christmas on the Beach at Lakewood Camping Resort in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Our website documents, our travels and experiences by location. We often revisit these posts to recall our adventures, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
