Welcome To JacknDiane.net
Hi! We’re Jack and Diane Noel. We started our Airstream adventures in 2022 when we bought our first, a 27’ FBQ Flying Cloud named Maria. She was a great friend for us two new Airstreamers for 3 1/2 years, taking us on lots of fun trips. In May 2025, we purchased our new 2025 Classic 28RBT, which we’ve named Frances. We’re really excited about all the new adventures that await us in this new rig!
In 2026, we’re planning some exciting trips, including SC Coastal Club Trips with Region 3 Rally at Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo Campground in Lakeland, Florida, a SC 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. We’ll also be back in Natchez for the Hot Air Balloon Festival and a few quick trips to the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
We started as a group of nervous beginners, but with each trip, we’ve grown more confident and comfortable exploring amazing new places. Every experience has helped us grow. Challenges become lessons, and destinations become cherished memories.
Now, we’re thrilled to plan longer trips, marking 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 website documents our travels and experiences by location. We often revisit these posts to remember our adventures, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Goodbye To My Maria
May 30, 2025
On December 29, 2021 we picked up our first Airstream. She was a 2022 Flying Cloud 27FB. We have been on so many great journeys over these past 3 1/2 years.
After several days of cleaning our stuff out of the 2022 Flying Cloud, today was the day. Maria was clean inside and out! Looking her best.
