Virtual Summer RV Trip

I thought it would be interesting to take a virtual RV trip to our previously planned summer destinations. While I was staying in and hunkering down. These were our 2020 plans before we cancelled the entire summer due to the lockdown. So grab a beverage and fasten your seatbelt as we take our summer trip. Our stops will be to Virginia, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. The virtual trip should have some great fuel mileage!

Covid Lockdown Day 19

We are continuing to shelter in place at our RV resort just west of Orlando Florida. I feel pretty safe here, in fact we have had very little social contact and always maintaining the 6-10 feet. In fact, it has been over two weeks since we were inside of any brick and mortar store. Utilizing the online apps and curbside pickups, we simply park in the designated spot, call the store, and within a minute an employee loads the groceries into our truck. Then it is home to disinfect everything!

We’ve Moved! RV Park Issues in Florida

During the week of March 15th, things kept getting crazier by the day due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Florida state parks were closing their campgrounds and many private parks were all but shutting down. Our RV resort, Pioneer Creek, announced they were locking all common area buildings, restrooms, and the laundry rooms. Would their next move be to actually close the park? Would the state hold people in place? Okay, it is time to determine what to do…

Disney’s Magic Kingdom

Back before the virus, we had a one day visit to the Magic Kingdom. This was in the last week of February, before things got crazy. The Disney park was packed with people as it was spring break. A week or two later, I wonder if we could have been exposed, but we are now three weeks later without symptoms, so guess we dodged a bullet. To help get your mind off the latest news, here is a virtual day at the Magic Kingdom!

Some Strange Times – Day 9

The news items seem to have major changes and new updates everyday. Our society is on hold for now. I wish I knew for how long. We are in some strange times. In the meantime, we are staying in (or around our site), and staying put in our remote area of south Florida – day 9 so far. With all of the near panic driven news, I thought it would be nice to post a peaceful blog update from our February visit to Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. But then, I thought that might look a little weird with us out and about in huge crowded spaces. So, instead I have reverted to some thoughts and a walking tour through our RV park in pictures.

Staying In – Day 5 of Coronavirus Crisis

This is the 5th day that we have mostly stayed within our small footprint at our RV site within Pioneer Creek RV Resort. There is still much activity going on at this park. Daily meetings, horseshoes, shuffleboard, wood shop and many more. My day yesterday was a quick, very early trip to Walmart and then some chores around here, with a hike thrown in for exercise!

Life On Hold – Happy Friday 13th!

The worldwide China Virus pandemic is certainly the top news story of the last few days. The news keeps getting exponentially worse. I almost do not want to watch the news, but I do. Kind of like watching a train wreck. Speaking of train wrecks, the stock market has spiralled to a completely panicked state with several days of record drops in Dow. Some crazy times!

Clermont, Florida – Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Clermont, Florida – Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The second Disney park that we visited during our stay in Clermont, Florida was the Animal Kingdom (AK). And it was our favorite of the three! Since it has been years since we visited any of the Disney parks, the Animal Kingdom was not built back then. If you have never been to the AK, just imagine being transported to an African safari complete with rustic villages, overland jeep type rides through wild animal’s habitats, and other up close displays!
