Savannah GA; Tybee Island, Ft. Pulaski, and Family Arrives

As we are into our second week at our Savannah, Georgia location, we are excited about a visit from family and to see the many things we missed in our first trip here.  You really need two weeks or longer to enjoy the many features of this historic city.  In this post, I will review our trips to Tybee Island and to the Fort Pulaski.  We have two more weeks here before moving northward again.

Savannah: Week #1, Historical District Walking Tours

We are now into our eleventh month as full-time RVers after I retired from my accounting job and the company I worked at for 44 years.  It is hard to imagine sometimes.  In our travels so far we have found a few gems that left us wanting to come back for another visit.  Savannah GA is one of those places.  We have three more weeks remaining for our stay here that includes a visit from some family that we are excited about.

Randy’s Tangy Meatloaf Recipe

Well, this is a first for me!  A recipe on my blog.  Rest assured, this blog will continue to be about our travels and life as full-time RVers.  After retiring, one of the things that I wanted to spend some time doing is cooking.  I have done a lot of cooking outdoors on the grill and still learn some new tricks there too.  So far I have tried a few different things in the kithen.  One was a tomato and basil bisque that we tried at Cafe Margaux in Cocoa, Florida (thanks to my cousin’s wife Carol for this place).  Recipe link here.

Last Week at Orchid Lake RV Resort (FL) and Travel Days to Savannah, GA

Our month-long stay at the Orchid Lake RV Resort is now over and we have traveled the 320 or so miles north to Savannah, GA.  The month of February just flew by like crazy.  I thought time went slowly while working.  But now, it is like a hyperdrive.  Kind of scary.  The highlights of our month there were meeting many friendly people and making some new friends.  We also enjoyed the warmest February on record for the Tampa, FL area.  Very nice.

2018 Spring and Summer Travel Plans

We have been slowly debating the pros and cons of where to travel to this year.  So many places we want to see and so many things to do.  Our original plan was to see most of the country in three years and then find a location to finally settle down.  It has now become obvious that our country is so large that our plan will probably need to be extended, God willing.

Orchid Lake RV Resort Week #3

Camp Reservations, Truck Upgrades, The Blue Parrot, Parade & Day Trip

This last week was filled with us planning our spring and summer travels, researching routes and campgrounds, and then finally calling the parks to make reservations.  We have found this part to be quite tedious and time consuming.  But necessary to be get into the area and into the RV parks that we want.  There have been so many new RVs produced in the last few years that any RV park in desired locations are getting booked up well into the future.

Two Weeks at Orchid Lake RV Resort & Tarpon Springs Trip

I can’t believe how quickly time flies by.  Good grief, half of our stay here is already over.  This has been a great place to spend a month at the Orchid Lake RV Resort.  The weather has been perfect with temps in the mid seventies up to low eighties.  Even with the warm weather there is always a light breeze, so under our awning has been a great place to chill.  A few times we have ventured out into the real world and one of those ventures was to a small Greek village of Tarpon Springs.

Space Coast of Florida – Wrap Up

The area along central Florida’s east coast from Titusville down to Cocoa Beach is known as the Space Coast, due to the long history they have tied to the US space industry.  We stayed in the area for almost two months before moving over to the west coast of Florida and were able to see many sights, but not as much as we wanted.  So, it will require another visit at some future date. Continue reading “Space Coast of Florida – Wrap Up”

Coast to Coast Travel in 3.5 Hours!

No, it was not on a supersonic jet!  On this last Thursday, Feb 1st, we made the 3.5 hour trip westbound from Cocoa, Florida to the area just north of Tampa, Florida.  The coast to coast drive was about 150 miles, leaving the JOY park at 9:30 am and making our goodbyes.  We made just one rest stop arriving at the new campground at 1:00 pm and ready to eat lunch!
