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 journey.
- We stayed only 1 night in every location except Fort De Soto Park.
- The only reservations that weren’t for that same day were for Fort De Soto Park Campground…and those were 24 hours in advance.
- We ate only 2 meals NOT in our RV with food we prepared ourselves (except for the spanikopita Keli bought in Tarpon Springs).
- We really didn’t need our bicycles at all on this trip.
- We tried to limit our travel to right around 200 miles per day.
- We didn’t have any issues getting our RV anywhere we wanted to go, but we also don’t do stupid things with it.
Since we are fairly new at this RVing thing, we really wanted to make this trip happen to get a feel for the experiences and places and challenges that come with this mode of travel. I can honestly say this was the only trip I can remember where we both agreed that we legitimately did not want to stop. We learned a lot about where we would want to spend more than a day or two. We learned a lot about how to eat quite well in our RV (Hint: its pretty much the same as eating well at home). The trip sparked some conversations about how we could do it again and spend a lot less on campgrounds and fuel but even those costs were much less than if we’d stayed at hotels.
The bottom line is that this trip was ultimately an experiment to see if we could pull it off and how it looked logistically. We now know that we could pretty much stay on the move continuously if we wanted to do that and soak up as many miles as we could stand without worrying too much about where to park for the night or how to manage our tanks. We were also pretty surprised to learn that we didn’t need our bikes as much as we thought. We do have e-bikes that we’ll be bringing along once I solve a small safety issue during transport. So all in all this was 100% a success from pretty much every single viewpoint. I will now get upon my soapbox and proclaim to the world: I AM AN RVer! And so is Keli!
