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…

Port Canaveral has a very convenient campground, Jetty Park. It’s right on the causeway the cruise ships use to sail out to the Atlantic Ocean. Hearing Caribbean music playing, I went to investigate, and saw this: Pretty weird, huh? No, it’s not parked there. We thought about heading over to the cruise ship terminal for a…

Today we traveled north to Fiesta Key RV Resort and Marina. Our home for the next week, and a little closer to the airport for Brent and Jill, since they’re flying out tomorrow (BOO!) Once there, we set up camp, and were welcomed by an amazing creature! After B&J checked in to on-site their motel room, we all…

After a hearty brunch at Blue Heaven, a stroll was in order, so we headed to nearby Duval Street. On our way I spotted a place that made me think of our nephew and his wife: Enough champagne with do this to a person: We spent quite some time at Wyland…

What’s a trip to Key West without the iconic Southernmost Point photo? Well, of course, it would still be a trip to Key West, and that’s all fine and pretty darn good, but we decided to indulge our inner tourist and go for it. Jill heard it’s best to go early to beat the long line, and that was a…

We lucked out upon arrival at our next stop, Key West. Well, where we camped was actually Stock Island. Brent and Jill booked a hotel 10-15 minutes away in actual Key West. Boyd’s Campground didn’t have any waterfront sites when we called for reservations, but lo and behold, one opened before we got there. Good thing, too. There are many sites…

Brent and Jill are here! Woohoo! 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,…

Can you believe the photo above is unretouched? True story. That’s the color the camera captured. Breathtaking. Okay, back to our regularly scheduled program… We drove from Tampa all the way to the Florida Keys, with one stop for lunch. We had eaten our share of sandwiches in the RV, and fish and seafood at restaurants recently. What we were…

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…

This is our third trip to New Orleans in our RV. There’s so much more to this city than just the French Quarter and Bourbon Street. On prior trips we’ve explored the Garden District, WWII Museum, Civil War Museum, City Park, and on, and on. Since we’ve seen so much, we decided to stay at our campsite for a bit,…
