Since I didn’t want to make your eyes bleed with more terrible photos, I decided to make your eyes bleed with more words. I also didn’t feel it was necessary to write a post about the boring journey home from Savannah. There was nothing whatsoever interesting about it. We traveled 1,922 miles in our 10…

Day 9 – Fernandina to Savannah
Our normal pattern up to this point was to have breakfast, break camp and take off to wherever we decided to go next. This day, however, we decided to explore the other side of the park before we left. I know I’m not a super fan of old, historical monuments like forts but I felt…
Day 8 – Titusville to Fernandina
Happy New Year! After a good night’s sleep in our fancy schmancy RV Resort (and right by the bathhouse…again), it was time to head north. Since the previous day was pretty jam-packed with a long drive and a hardcore tourist destination, we thought we’d take it easy up the coast and leave the bustle in…
Day 7 – Fort De Soto to Titusville
Reluctantly, but with some satisfaction with our time there (and a bag full of sea shells), we departed Fort De Soto Park Campground entirely too early in the morning for the drive east. We decided we’d seen enough of the pristine and vacant beaches of the gulf coast and bee-lined it for Kennedy Space Center,…
Day 6 – Fort De Soto Park
The morning of day 6 we spent about 2.5 seconds discussing whether we were going to ride our bikes the 4 or 5 miles to the north beach or simply unhook the RV and drive over. It was a no-brainer. The weather was overcast with the possibility of rain. Another reason we love our rig…
Day 5 – Yankeetown to Fort De Soto
After departing our luxurious resort in Yankeetown (I’m sure its a lovely place but it’s not where we will be parking the RV again), we headed south on Hwy 98 until Hwy 19 separated from it and we took 19 since it was closer to the coast. Somewhere around Spring Hill on Hwy 19, Florida…
Day 4 – Carrabelle to Yankeetown
After leaving Carrabelle, we pretty much decided to stay on 98 all the way around the bend from the panhandle and well into the peninsula of Florida. The road does stray from the coast so there wasn’t much to see except the joyous reality of a smooth, wide road virtually free of all traffic. Hwy…
Day 3 – Destin to Carrabelle
We weren’t super thrilled to be leaving our amazing spot in Destin, but the reality of really not knowing where our next stop would be was pretty enticing in a strange way. After discussing it, we decided on a comfortable goal of traveling about 200 miles per day. That should allow us some time to…
Day 2 – Pine Mountain to Destin
From Pine Mountain to Destin was pretty uneventful, which is a good thing. Keli took over driving some of the way through Alabama, which was great for me and my stupid sinuses. We were mostly on a four lane divided highway and traffic was practically nonexistent…a recurring theme for much of our driving and not…
Day 1 – WNC to Pine Mountain
Hey here’s a good idea…let’s take a couple of weeks off during the Christmas and New Year holidays and go to Florida in our RV that we’ve only used a couple of times…with no reservations and no real plan except for probably starting off in Destin and maybe following the coast for a bit. What…
