Beverly Beach, Florida


We needed place to stay while visiting Daytona International Speedway, and landed at Beverly Beach Camptown.  Still on the tail end of spring breakers, available campgrounds closer to the speedway were a no-go.  We prefer to be on the beach whenever possible, anyway.  Finding one in this area directly on the beach is rarity.  As you might imagine, hotels occupy most of…

While standing in line to have our photo taken at The Southernmost Point, we noticed several people with bright blue mylar butterflies clinging to them.  Some on their hats, some on their shirts, some on backpacks, some on purses.  These little butterflies where everywhere.  We found out that just up the street and around the corner was The Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory.…

To quote them, “Most people photo bomb, we vacation bomb.”  Funny and true.  We had only planned to see them in Galveston.  Those two crazy kids decided to join us in the Florida Keys! They rented a waterfront trailer only a few sites down from ours, and arrived right at sunset.  Hugs all around,…

Destin, Florida – The Emerald Coast


Oh my goodness, this place is Caribbean beautiful.  Heck, we’ve been to some places in the Caribbean that can’t measure up to Destin, Florida.  We had no idea just how much we would like it here when we chose this as our stop for a few days. The sand is sugar white, dries to a soft powder, and brushes off…

Breaux Bridge, LA Bayou Eco-Swamp Tour


We’ve traveled in our RV to New Orleans twice before, and each time the highway takes us through the bayou, we dream of being on a boat getting up close and personal with the creatures that inhabit the murky water, and moss covered trees. Well, today was our lucky day.  After a little research and asking the locals, we settled…

San Antonio, Texas, RV Park


  We stayed at Traveler’s World RV Park while in San Antonio.  I wanted to find a nice, secure, well-appointed park to stay at that was close to downtown, and this place fit the bill quite nicely.  The office staff were friendly, There were groundskeepers constantly grooming, and maintenance guys buzzing about.  We’d recommend this place for sure.  While we weren’t going…
