Or should I say fortunate and grateful! As we end year seven as "Full-Time RVers" and begin our eighth year we can't help but say the old cliche of time passing so quickly! Still going strong as we have settled into a nice combination of staying in Florida during the winter, traveling to see family, …
Our first Winter in the Florida panhandle is history. To sum it up: we love the beautiful beaches, parks, City of Port Saint Joe and the slower quieter pace. But weather has been cooler and the nearby shopping is limited. We are making new connections, but missing some of the old. It's a transition. All …
We have a new Florida home! We have purchased property in the Florida panhandle just north of Port Saint Joe and the Gulf of Mexico. This will become our winter home and a secure spot that we can always go to; no reservation needed! Florida property - Sealy Dr. Included on the .39 acre parcel, …
This year has continued to be a year of changes, starting with Hurricane Ian in late September, to changing our Spring travel plans, to pondering the future. It's a challenge since it goes against my need to plan stays in advance, but it's also reassuring to know we can adjust when needed. We left Emerald …
Spending the winter in central Florida was a new experience for us with time to really check out the area. Although we are not likely to return to the Zephyrhills area for another winter, we are grateful that we had a nice park (Emerald Pointe) to stay at while we consider our future Florida plans …
Happy New Year - 2023! Here we are near Zephyrhills for the winter and find ourselves comparing Central Florida to Southwest Florida. Different in many ways and we will continue to see how the rest of the winter goes. Weather has still been good, so no complaints here! Carrabelle Beach in full moonlight We said …
Looking to regroup a little, we arrived in Carrabelle Beach Florida in mid October. This area of the panhandle is called the "Forgotten Coast", sighting "it's the last remaining stretch of unspoiled pristine Gulf Coast beaches that haven't been overrun by high rises and strip malls". It's part of the Big Bend region that includes …

The area took a direct hit. Much of Fort Myers Beach is unrecognizable and our park, Siesta Bay, has been severely damaged. It's been an emotional time and we are one of the lucky ones; we still have our home. The pictures show the Time Square area of Fort Myers Beach. You can see what …

A short blog post from me? Yes! Just wanted everyone to know we are in North Carolina, safe from Hurricane Ian. We did not plan on arriving in Fort Myers until mid October. We are very concerned about our park, Siesta Bay, which is included in a mandatory evacuation zone in Lee County. We are …
When I say "quite a ride"; I mean literary and figuratively. We started as RV novices in our Winnebago Adventurer in August, 2017; we learned a lot the first couple years and graduated to our current diesel powered Fleetwood Discovery XLE. Always more to learn, but a few years of experience goes a long way. …
