RV travels around the USA
This will be my last post from our month long stay at Cocoa, Florida in the JOY RV Park. In this update, we visited with some family, met some new friends, visited the Kennedy Space Center, watched a rocket launch, and much more!

We are back to the 5th wheel coach after ten days of vacationing aboard a cruise and a quick trip to Key West. It was a great time and we thoroughly enjoyed, but it is always nice to return back home. Rarely leaving the RV, it was nice to take a decent trip away from our “home.” We are back to RVing, in Cocoa, Florida!
This is our first vacation in almost three years since we retired and became full time RVers. Well, there was the Durango escape last summer. And sometimes it seems like we are on vacation all the time. But as full timers, we are usually just living and experiencing life in each different location. Anyway, we are super excited to be going on our first cruise in seven years. So, keep reading to find out about our relocation to Cocoa Florida and a cruise vacation!
We ended our month long stay at this popular winter resort destination in Cortez Florida. It has been a wonderful location. Close to family and walking distance to a dozen restaurants and bars. And we had a great visit from our three kids just before Christmas. It is hard to say goodbye, but it is time to move on to the east coast of Florida and a vacation. But, before we go there, here is a wrap up from the final two weeks at Cortez Florida – Part 3 of 3.
It has been a couple of weeks since my last blog update. We have been very busy with a new relocation and a vacation thrown in for good measure. After having gone this long without typing my thoughts and searching for some good photos, I have found that I miss the updates. Miss the composing of these short essays.
Well, I’m back now and will try to get caught up on the prior few weeks. Going back to mid-December, our three kids all flew down to our base camp near Anna Maria Island, Florida, just south of Tampa on the gulf coast. We had been looking forward to their arrival and spending three days with them just hanging out and enjoying the great weather.
Cortez Florida – Our December Home! We will be spending the entire month of December at the beautiful Buttonwood Inlet RV Resort in Cortez, Florida. We will be close to family, in walking distance to 20 or so seafood restaurants, and enjoying a tropical paradise. Finally, a chance to relax for awhile and enjoy!
Next up on our planned travel schedule is St. Augustine, Florida. The oldest city in the US. Technically, it is the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement within the borders of the continental United States. Our week-long stay here was nearly perfect with many sunrises/sunsets, walks about the old historic city, and a meeting with some RV friends.

This is our third trip to this beautiful southern city. Savannah, Ga – we are back again! The first visit was just after I retired in May 2017. The second time was the entire month of March in 2018 when we met family (Mike & Lorna). This visit was just one week on our way south to Florida for the winter. We revisited some of our favorite restaurants, walked many of the 22 squares, and met up with some RV friends. Savannah is one of our favorites!
Yep, just like the Allstate commercial, stuff happens and it happened to us. I will start out with the fact that we are perfectly safe. And that it had been well over 40 years since I’ve had a claim on my insurance policy. That run has ended. Sadly, here’s what happened on the way to our RV park in Charleston, SC when Mayhem Strikes…
Next up in our southward journey is the vacation mecca of Myrtle Beach, SC where we had some RV maintenance done, took a couple of down days, and meeting with some friends. This is the time of year to visit the MB area. Not many tourists so the crowds are down and the temperatures are great in the upper 60’s and low 70’s!
