The Insta-Home Challenge: Austin

January 24, 2013

Shoot… I’m as happy as a gopher in soft dirt to be in Austin. It’s been in the 70’s and 80’s in central Texas, and with the fresh air, congenial people, weird and artsy vibe and wide open spaces, we feel like we’ve hit a slice o’ heaven. After a tough, sick, chilly 3 months […]

We’re gonna have to change the name of this blog

January 12, 2013

The Hollicks are starting the new year off with a bang. Yes, yes, yes — you can believe your eyes. We are having a baby! Max is going to be a big brother and we will be chugging along as Four For the Road (plus a cat). It’s mind-boggling, and…so very exciting. Our family is […]

Count those holiday blessings

December 31, 2012

Forgive us, friends. We’ve been so quiet on 3 For The Road. Actually, I know I must forgive me.

While simultaneously […]

Detour: Montego Bay, Jamaica

December 4, 2012

Stop the (Word)presses! For the first time, the three of us went on vacation, as a family. Wait, you say. Aren’t you on vacation all the time? Weren’t you just pigging out in New Orleans and clubbing in Miami? Well… yes! And no. Our daily life is touring, but it’s still “work.” Mike still has […]

A day in sunny Sausalito

November 24, 2012

We do not live a conventional lifestyle, by any stretch of the imagination.  While Ang and I embrace this concept and the excitement that travel brings, we are constantly trying to take stock of the effects of this lifestyle on our Max.  I mean, he is barely two. Will he even remember wearing beads at […]

Spinning heads and time zone changes

November 11, 2012

Oh, friends. It’s been a long-ish time since we last posted — two whole weeks! Gah! Why does it seem like forever in Internet Standard Time? We’ve gotten a few worried emails asking pretty much the same thing: Why the silence? Are the Hollicks okay? Who won the Facebook giveaway? Was it me? Are we […]
