I wanted to see an alligator in the wild, but not too close or within my living site. On our way from the Keys to Ft Myers we went through the general Everglades area of Florida. We were told about the Cypress Visitor’s area to stop along the way to see some alligators. We made… Continue reading Florida Alligators!

Bahia Honda State Park
December 27th we went to Bahia Honda State Park. We had to drive since we wanted to take our kayaks. It was $9 for two people in a car, but if I had gotten out prior to the gate and walked in we would have save $2. Ridiculous. Don’t understand why it isn’t just a… Continue reading Bahia Honda State Park
Sunshine Key Resort-Christmas Week
SUNSHINE KEY RV RESORT We arrived at Sunshine Key RV Resort on Dec 22. Sunshine Key is an Encore Resort located on Ohio Key, but with an address of Big Pine Key. We booked our site for the week of Christmas probably about 4 months ago–maybe longer. We didn’t want to get clear down to… Continue reading Sunshine Key Resort-Christmas Week
Three Days in Key West
DAY 1 We went to Key West, Christmas Eve day, Christmas Day and the day after Christmas. It was fun. It is definitely built for tourism. Parking anywhere near Duvall or Mallory Square is going to cost you $4 an hour! The first day we paid for 4 hours, but after that we parked at… Continue reading Three Days in Key West
Cousins Get Together
Barry’s cousin, Craig Patrick, and his wife Susan live in Jupiter, Florida. Since we were in Orlando and driving south to the Keys, Barry contacted Craig to see if it would work out to meet up. They hadn’t seen each other since a family reunion that was the summer of 1995. I, of course, had… Continue reading Cousins Get Together
Orlando Thousand Trails Resort – 3 weeks Dec 2019
We decided to check out Florida for a winter this year. Well, at least the first part of the winter season – December 1 through mid-January. This trip is also the farthest we have gone to date with our motorhome. We were excited to see more states. We kicked off the first 3 weeks at… Continue reading Orlando Thousand Trails Resort – 3 weeks Dec 2019
Disney’s Magic Kingdom 2019
We arrived at the “Happiest Place on Earth”- Disney’s Magic Kingdom Orlando. There is a special feeling when you are here! Our favorite thrill rides are Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Thunder Mountain Railroad, but of course we have to go on the classic rides like Pirates of the Caribbean, It’s a Small World, and… Continue reading Disney’s Magic Kingdom 2019
Epcot – 2019
When Barry and I were here in April 2014 we only had a couple days to do all four of the Disney parks with the park hopper feature. I believe that is why Epcot was not a “favorite” of ours. Yes, I thought the different countries were cool, and luckily they did have a couple… Continue reading Epcot – 2019
My Birthday – French Quarter Style
We made it to New Orleans, LA (NOLA) today. We are staying two nights at the Pontchartrain Landing RV park. There is a pool with a great view, but since it wasn’t very warm we weren’t likely to try to squeeze in a dip within the time we’re here. It is a decent park within… Continue reading My Birthday – French Quarter Style
Parked at a Casino & Dinner with a Kianu Sister
Nov 25, 2019Today I started out driving as we left the Colorado River TT. It looked like it would be a nice day, but before I knew it we were in thick, dense fog for quite some time! I was shocked by the number of drivers (the majority) who had no lights on. I have… Continue reading Parked at a Casino & Dinner with a Kianu Sister
