Long Long Honeymoon - Living Large in a Small Tin Can: Advice for Airstream / RV Travelers
Instead of jaunting off to honeymoon on a posh Pacific island, the newlyweds hitched up their trusty Ford diesel truck (nicknamed “SEEMORE”) and started exploring America. Their “long long honeymoon” journey stretched over 60,000 miles, ranging from Key West (the southernmost point in the United States) all the way up to Banff, Alberta (that’s in Canada, eh?). LONG LONG HONEYMOON - LIVING LARGE IN A SMALL TIN CAN combines the best of Sean's blog entries with original never-before-published anecdotes of the trip.
Reviews
"The book is from their early days as RV traveling - videographer, Bloggers, and many of their early efforts mirror the stories in the book, but often with more information than the videos had time for."
"The first video we saw was the one re: how to sleep in an RV... My husband DOES think I have assumed Cult Member status, however, and he takes every recommended purchase urging with a grain of salt.. til we buy the product and he has an epiphany!"
"I absolutely loved this book."
"If you are looking for a spark for your adventurous spirit, or some rather helpful tips to improve your RV life, or just a look at the humorous side of traveling in a tin can, then you will enjoy this book."
"`Long, Long, Honeymoon - Living Large in a Small Tin Can'. As an enthusiast and future Airstream owner, I am always on the lookout for a new source of information. When I discovered that Sean had written `Long, Long, Honeymoon, Living Large in a Small Tin Can', I was excited at the prospect of seeing him and his work in book format. I have a keen appreciation of the fact that all this wouldn't have been possible without the love and enthusiastic dedication of Sean's wife Kristy, who is often behind the camera in his videos, and sometimes in front of it."
"It is fun, helpful, and at times absolutely hysterical, like the opening salvo on the dreaded 1st time sewage tank dump: "The most unpleasant moment occurred after I removed the cap that covers the sewer opening on the side of our camper."
"Good read."
"Enjoyed the wry sense of humor and insights in to a lifestyle that many aspire to."

Reviews
"Every couple should have to see how they can make their marriage stronger."
"Marcus and Ashley Kusi co-author this book on marriage and each gives some insight as to their motivation in the bio section: Marcus - ‘I'm a dedicated husband, passionate father, and love spending time with my family. Together with my husband, I also help newlyweds adjust to married life. However, marriage changes it all; at least it should."
"I liked the advice given in this book!"
"They even open up about some of the trials they had at the beginning of their marriage and how they overcame them and became a stronger couple and unit for their kids and how they communicated and changed and adapted to each other and grew!"
"If I had a nickel for every time someone told me and my spouse that we should go to marriage counseling before getting married, I would probably be a billionaire. After reading several articles on marriage, we came across First Year of Marriage. Including topics like: Communication. Finances. Intimacy. Expectations. This is the no-nonsense guide to making the first year of marriage an easy one."

Reviews
"When I first started planning weddings five years ago (for friends, I had no idea at the time that I'd one day be doing this professionally) I read pretty much every wedding planning book I could get my hands on that didn't seem totally insane, because that's what I do when I want to learn about something - I read. Things like how to find an affordable venue, and that it's OK to sometimes cry during the planning process, and why you should focus on your ceremony, and when and why you need to ask for help. It pulls from many of the wisest posts on the site, but is in fact an entirely new piece of work that is valuable in an entirely different way to anyone who's planning a wedding. The wedding industry in America gets a bad rap for a reason - it's generally full of people and organizations who are trying to get you to buy more, do more, stress more. Couples who are getting married need all the help they can get in getting away from this - it's insidious, and can trap even the most sane, laid back people into thinking that they have to do things a certain way, because it's a wedding and it has to be perfect."
"I'm the first of my siblings to get married, and one of the first of my close friend group too--so good advice has been something I've been looking for."
"This book has been a godsend and is definitely my FAVORITE of my wedding planning books. Its only minor issue is that it does not include or come with a "planner"/notebook for taking notes or completing planning tasks--the book is, however, all about doing what YOU want to do, so I get why it wouldn't really work to give you a generic checklist--anyway, if you want a checklist/"planner" you'll have to get that somewhere else (though, let's be honest, you probably have at least a small stack of wedding planning books at home, I'm sure one of them has a place to write things down)."
"), and some cute ideas if you are blessed with craft skills, or have an army of talented family and friends to help."

From the author of The Knot Complete Guide to Weddings in the Real World, a thoroughly modern, must-have workbook to help you pull off the perfect wedding.
Reviews
"The difference between this and the binder addition: 1 page on rings. 1 page on marriage license. honeymoon planning section. budget tracker. seating chart list. The binder is just easier to plan with, bigger pages and filling things out in a book is difficult (especially when it comes to copying forms).I also think the layout is a bit better in the binder."
"I've added some sections and taken out sections that aren't applicable and I hole punch every vendor quote or email I get and place them in the correlating section. For example, if you're like me and say : you and your honey decide to take a long weekend trip to the mountains in October and it's August, and then you obsess over planning EVERY.SINGLE.DETAIL until you actually leave - you're going to be exhausted. You're going to be so burnt out from planning what time you leave, what time you get back, triple checking your Airbnb reservations, making dinner plans for at least one night, what you're going to pack and "is the weather going to cold?" Make sure you give yourself a break from planning every so often :)."
"The entire binder looked like it went through a grinder before they sent it to me."
"Thank you for my product and the excellent customer service."
"I am in love with My Book!"
"I bought this for a gift for my best friend to help plan her upcoming wedding and she loves it!"
"Spend the extra dough and buy the binder."
"This was a waste on my end."

"I purchased this as a Valentine's Day present for my fiance. I typed out all the prompts in a word document so I could remember what I had written and try to keep each one different. I didn't want to repeat myself and go back through the pages scratching things out. Feel free to copy and paste into your own word file to help complete your book! 3 I love hearing stories about your BLANK . 6 I believe we'd make a great BLANK team. 11 It's hard to put into words how strongly I feel about your BLANK . 12 I love how good you are at giving me BLANK . 18 I love how you BLANK every day. 33 I love remembering the time we BLANK . 40 I love the feel of your BLANK ."
"For improvements, I would use thicker paper because the paper bleeds alittle."
"This is a cute gift to give someone but some of the blanks are repetitive & leave little room for extra-writing to make each page seem more unique from the others."
"My husband and I own tons of these books and we don't fill it out."
"This was my first Christmas with my boyfriend, and I got this as a stocking stuffer."
"Super cute book to give the one you love."
