RV and other travels around the World
Located 43 miles southeast from our current winter location is the small town of Crystal River Florida. It is an easy 48 minutes and no interstate highways involved! We met Pat’s brother Tom and sister-in-law Ginny in Crystal River for a manatee adventure and dinner. Plus we got to get reacquainted with friends from Ohio, Greg and Jeannie!

When researching things to do in this area, I came upon this very tiny town of Micanopy Florida. It looked interesting as having a number of antique stores, as well as several restaurants, a couple of coffee shops, and a history museum. And their claim to fame is that the town is the oldest community in the interior of Florida that has been continually inhabited. Well, let’s go check it out!
I do feel pretty fortunate to have now received my second dose of the Covid vaccine. Maybe this will begin the end of the grip that this virus has had on this country and the world. There is much information published on the reactions that people have from this dose, but I will give you what it was like from my perspective. What to expect…
We are nearing the end of our month stay in Clermont Florida. It has been a month of hiking, taking long walks, reading many books, some scheduled truck maintenance, and a couple more excursions out. One day trip was over the the east coast to check out an RV park for a possible future stay. Another trip was to a cool little Tiki Hut on a lake for lunch – the Biker Bar! Then there was a hike and more!

We are currently staying at an RV resort in Clermont Florida. While it is a beautiful and safe place to enjoy the warm weather, the activities are not so much within the park. So, we have a few small outings planned over the month. One of our day trips was a lunch out to Yalaha and then to Mt. Dora to explore.
Clermont Florida – It was nice to arrive on a sunny 80 degree day after a pleasant drive south. Our home for the month of January is the Orlando suburb of Clermont. This is the same place that we stayed during the “shelter in place” order back in February through June. We have several day trips planned and hope to get the Vaccine scheduled in as well. It should be a relaxing and interesting month at our January Home!
Brunswick, Ga – Our next stop on the slow journey to Florida was to a new destination for us. One that we have previously sailed by I-95 when either north or southbound. Having three more days before we are booked to arrive in Florida we camped in Brunswick and then explored the islands on our two down days. In my prior post, I posted some photos that Pat took on Jekyll Island exclusively from Driftwood Beach. In this post we will explore more of the Jekyll and St Simon Islands.
Our four night stayover was long enough for a couple of forays into the city to walk between the town squares and admire the stately old homes. In part 1, Pat and I walked around a bit and had a great anniversary dinner. In part 2, I’ve mainly included a few more photos that I liked. Hope you do too. It was great to see all the Christmas decorations on the grand old homes. Savannah, Ga part 2 plus some other thoughts…
Being on the road is all coming back again as if we never had an interruption! While having the home base is great, I have missed the excitement of travel and exploring new places. Even with Covid, it is great to be back in the RV and on the road. Our 2nd and 3rd stops were at Myrtle Beach and Savannah. Here is a quick recap…
It has been a month since my last blog update. We have been quite busy with the new “sticks and bricks” house. Many changes and updates are now completed or else will be done soon. Such is the life when buying an older home. I find that doing many of these chores is very enjoyable, but after three months with very little time off, we are both ready for a break. Besides that it is getting cold in Virginia and we have already gotten two small snowfalls! Vacation time!
