We left bright and early from Sugar Mills Travel Park in New Smyrna Beach and headed to Saint Augustine to meet my friend Tobi! Our 1st stamp was at Fort Matanzas National Monument where we watched the movie and took photos. We did not take the free boat ride 🙁 since it was going to take over an hour and wanted to get going. Driving into St Augustine, we ignored Randi (our Rand McNally RV GPS) since we could…
After a quiet night at KOA/Lion Country Safari (except for the Lions of course) we headed to Canaveral National Seashore to get our Passport Book stamped. Was an easy drive on I-95 (200+ miles) and we got there 30 minutes before closing. The parking lot was very small and since it was so late, as we pulled in the one of the rangers came out and told us to just park right in front of the Visitors Center. They had…
Love both of those shows and had not been to Miami since back in the early Real Estate Days 🙂 We left the Larry and Penny Thompson Campground and headed toward Miami. On the way parked in a parking lot in the City of Miami and I did the weekly Team Call while Kevin did our grocery shopping. Downtown Miami was beautiful and then headed across the bridge to Miami Beach. Was amazed at the size of the yachts parked…
Got up early to leave Grassy Key heading to Biscayne National Park where we are scheduled for a bout to tour. There was a big event having on the keys north of us which was predicted to cause quite a traffic jam. We were gone by 8 am and sad to leave the beautiful Grassy Key Resort. Since the gift shop at Everglades National Park was closed when we there last time, we stopped by on the way to get…
After spending last night in Key West, we decided to head back up the keys since not visiting Dry Tortuga National Park. When we were driving down I had seen what looked like a very cool water front RV park called Grassy Key Resort. Even though it was only about an hour north, we decided to stay there. Since it was a bit pricier, we checked in at about 1 giving us time to really enjoy the amazing view. Was…
Left Lake City Campground this morning heading for Destin and Fort Walton Beach area to meet with my coach Simone and so excited to meet live. Was a long day driving and raining the whole time. Stopped in Tallahassee for lunch and with tips from Simone choose Destin West RV Resort. We had a great spot at the end looking out over the water. As it turns out, we were looking across the water to Simone’s neighborhood 🙂 Even though…
April 7th, 2016 Last night we checked into Key Largo Kampground and Marina around 6 o’clock. Got lost a couple of times and interesting trying to find places to turn around when you are 37′ long 🙂 Was totally worth it…Two thumbs up, 5 stars, we fell in love. My description was funky not fluffy. And when I saw we had a dock with a picnic table under a palapa, I was sold. We decided to stay and extra night…
Tuesday we drove from the KOA Campground in Madeira Beach to the KOA in Naples/Fort Myers. Thanks to those of you who suggested getting the Annual Pass and the cost was less than $22 and saved $9 the 2nd night. We headed out for De Soto National Memorial after checking out at Madeira Beach. The drive took us across the Sunshine Skyway Bridge across the wide opening of Tampa Bay. I am a huge bridge fan and this one was…
After a relaxing 2 nights in Key Largo, Friday morning we headed out to Key West. Many, many years ago, back in the Realtor Days, I had attended a Real Estate Convention in Miami. Several of us rented a car and decided to drive down to Key West to have a Margarita at Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville. I remember how amazing it was to be driving over the ocean with the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the Atlantic on…
In every circumstance, there is a lesson. Still deciding what I am taking from this one 🙂 Friday morning when we showed up for our 9 am appointment to have our windshield replaced we expected to be out within 4-5 hours; 2 hours to install and 2 hours to cure. At 10:15 we were told the glass people were stuck in traffic. At 12:15 we checked to see how the installation was going and were told not only had they…
