Welcome To JacknDiane.net
Traveling Together. Making Memories. Living Riveted.
Hi! We’re Jack and Diane Noel, and this is where we share our travels, adventures, and life on the road with our Airstream, Frances.
Our Airstream journey began in 2022 with Maria, our 27’ Flying Cloud. We were brand-new Airstreamers with a lot to learn, but Maria took good care of us. Over the next three and a half years, she carried us to new places, introduced us to some wonderful people, and gave us memories we’ll always treasure.
In May 2025, we began a new chapter when we brought home Frances, our 2025 Airstream Classic 28RBT. And the adventure continues.
From Nervous Beginners to Happy Travelers
When we started, every trip seemed to come with a new question.
Did we pack everything?
Where are we going to stop for fuel?
Can we get this thing into that campsite?
And what exactly is making that noise?
With every mile, though, we learned a little more.
The unfamiliar became familiar. Challenges became stories. Campgrounds became favorite places. And people we met along the way became friends.
We discovered that RV travel isn’t just about where you’re going. It’s about everything that happens along the way.
Come Along for the Journey
JacknDiane.net is our travel journal and our place to share the destinations, campgrounds, experiences, photographs, and stories that make each trip memorable.
You’ll find our adventures organized by destination, along with the places we’ve stayed, things we’ve discovered, and some of the lessons we’ve learned along the way.
Some trips are big adventures. Others are quick getaways close to home.
We enjoy them all.
The Road Ahead
There are still plenty of places we haven’t seen, roads we haven’t traveled, and destinations waiting to be checked off our bucket list.
We’re looking forward to longer trips, new rallies, beautiful campgrounds, small towns, back roads, good food, unexpected discoveries, and more time spent with friends.
We don’t know exactly where all those roads will lead.
And that’s part of the fun.
Thanks for traveling along with us.
— Jack & Diane
