  • Grassy Waters of Florida – The Everglades

    Grassy Waters of Florida – The Everglades

    We were unsure what to expect of the Everglades before our visit here.  When I thought of the Everglades, scenes of Miami Vice or CSI Miami (to be a bit more current) on an airboat, or the terrible ValueJet Flight 592 crash that occurred here in 1996, came to mind.  My imagination was quickly corrected as…

  • A birthday celebration with Gators and Birds – Shark Valley, Everglades

    A birthday celebration with Gators and Birds – Shark Valley, Everglades

    Our January stay at Bonita Springs went by too quickly.  The next thing we knew the slides were coming in and the jacks were coming up, and off we went.  On the move again, we headed even further south to “The Glades”, the Everglades that is.  Shark Valley lies in the heart of the “True…

  • Beach Scenes – Bonita Springs, FL

    Beach Scenes – Bonita Springs, FL

    We all know the first thing that comes to mind when we think of Florida – lots of white sand beaches!  Fortunately for us, our home base at Bonita Springs was just minutes from several beautiful beaches, natural preserves, shopping and restaurants and other fun things to do.  The unseasonably wet and cool Florida winter…

  • Good times with friends at Bonita Springs, FL

    Good times with friends at Bonita Springs, FL

    It’s been a while since I last posted, not for a lack of material but rather we are having too much fun hanging out with friends.  We had planned this stop to mostly work on Betsy, with a long list of to-do’s.  But we somehow managed to also have ourselves a great time.  With the…

    Betsy gets a refrigerator transplant

    We arrived at Bonita Springs, FL on the first of the year, planning to stay here for a full month – the longest stop of our adventure so far.  Steve had a list of minor “Betsy” maintenance and fix-up to-do’s, and we thought this would be a good place to complete them. One item that…

  • Meeting some real snowbirds – Sebring, FL

    Meeting some real snowbirds – Sebring, FL

    With our cruise vacation over, we’re back to our “normal” travel life.  This winter will be spent here in Florida, enjoying the sunshine and warmth – or so we were led to believe. But upon arriving back home the weather was a bit more brisk than we had hoped.  Oh well, maybe it will warm…

  • Has another year rolled by already?

    Has another year rolled by already?

    Yes, and what a journey it was! Our second year of living on the road is winding down as 2013 comes to an end.  We pause to reflect and look back at where we’ve been, the many new friends we’ve made, the old friends we’ve reconnected with and the challenges we overcame as we rolled…

  • The amazing Kennedy Space Center, FL

    The amazing Kennedy Space Center, FL

    We have both regretted that we never made it to a shuttle launch, Lord knows we really wanted to.  But upon our arrival in the Orlando area, one of the first things we did was learn how far away the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) was from our park.  About 50 miles – that’ll work!  At…
