We got the first rain of our trip last night with it raining in to the morning so we made a quick trip to buy groceries until the rain let up and it cleared. Afterwards we headed to Key West to explore the area. Had lunch at Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville Cafe which was a great.Continue reading “Day 14 – Key West, Fl – Sunday, February 16, 2020”

Tina got her hair done during the day, I washed the baby Jeep, and we spent one more night in “Paradise Lost” in Fort Lauderdale since we were not scheduled for our site at Key Largo until Saturday. Since our site was the worst one of the place (next to trash bins and no septicContinue reading “Day 12/13 – Fort Lauderdale/Key Largo, FL – Friday & Saturday, February 14/15, 2020”

Spent most of the day traveling and arrived in Fort Lauderdale later than we wanted so consequently we got the last spot which was an overflow site right next to the trash bins 😫. It had 50 amp hookup and water but no sewer. This place is called Paradise Island RV Resort but it’s moreContinue reading “Day 11 – Fort Lauderdale, FL – Thursday, February 13, 2020”

We spent part of Tuesday traveling and on the beach. After setting up I went on the roof of the RV to check the satellite dish and realized part of the protective hood over one of our vents had shattered and was missing. Not sure if I hit a branch or what but no bigContinue reading “Day 9 & 10 – Tuesday and Wednesday, February 10/11, 2020 – Cocoa Beach, FL”

We started today with a long walk then after breakfast headed to Daytona Beach. GPS is great except when it’s trying to take you a shorter route through the country with a tall coach on 10 foot over pass bridge roads. Fortunately we realized what was ahead before it was too late. Stopped for lunchContinue reading “Day 7 – Ormond/Daytona Beach”

Spent the morning exploring the rest of Jekyll Island then headed to and arrived later in the day at St. Augustine, the oldest city in the US. Most of the day was travel on an extremely windy day. Driving the motorcoach in the wind felt like steering a jet ski in the middle of anContinue reading “Day 5 – Jekyll Island/St. Augustine – February 7, 2020”

Started off the day spending the morning at the Sea Turtle Rehabilitation and Education Center on Jekyll Island. A wonderful facility started by Dr. Terry Norton, DVM, who also happens to be an adjunct faculty member at Clemson. The Center takes in sea turtles injured by boat props or have been “cold shocked” similar toContinue reading “Day 4 – Jekyll Island – February 6, 2020”
