Mierissamalu

Welcome to our blog of our travel adventures.  "M and M in M" stands for "Mark and Mona in Mierissamalu".  Mona figured we needed a name for the motorhome so we came up with Mierissamalu.  Mierissa was the name of Mark's last sailboat.  The name is two letters from each of his four children's names descending by age.  We added Mona's two children, the malu part and ended up with Mierissamalu.  We affectionately call her "M" for short. 

 

Shortly after Mona retired, we took off in "M" for Alaska.  Along the way, Mona started a journal to keep track of the adventure and for some personal thoughts about the trip.  I was so impressed with her writing that I told her she need to share them with our friends and family.  She thinks they are way too long and was quite hesitant to share them as she didn't want to "burden" folks with having to read them.  I assured her that folks wouldn't find them a burden as they don't have to read them if they don't want to.  I sure though that many of our family and friends would love them.
