We were inbetween reservations snagged around the state of Florida in prime winter season, which meant trying out another of Florida’s Free Boondocking locations. We were excited. A few days in a spot other bloggers had positively reported on this season. Perhaps we’d get some hiking in? Chill out. Relax. While it was only a couple […]
Awesome Campsites – Tips for Selecting the BEST Site!
The right site in a campground can be the difference between a crappy experience and an awesome one. What makes a site great for you, will likely differ than what makes a site great for us. We personally love sites with great views and maximum privacy – we prefer to see a field, trees or […]
Ortona South Campground, A Wildfire Scare & Boat Hunt Update
First of all, big thanks to Kiki for taking over the blog last week. What a whirlwind of non-stop breaking news stories as all four cellular carriers re-vamped their unlimited data plans and a new 250GB & 500GB AT&T data plan became available. We got a wee bit sleep deprived and are just now catching up. […]
Tour of our RV Office – Computer Monitors and Rolling Chairs in Motion
Life on the road is awesome. We’re so blessed to work and travel, so that we didn’t have to wait for retirement to enjoy this lifestyle. Comfortable working space for two geeks who work online however isn’t a built in feature of most RVs. One of the reasons we sought out a bus conversion was for the […]
A Dam Fine View at W.P. Franklin Campground – Alva, Florida
Next stop would have us venturing into southwestern Florida to attend Looper-palooza – a convergence of those at various stages of exploring The Great Loop. The event was in Fort Myers, and we anticipated finding last minute camping would be a challenge. However a quick call to the local Elks Club confirmed we’d have an easy […]
The Florida RV SuperShow & Self-Driving RVs?!?
We’ve been in Florida during winters before when the big Florida RV SuperShow happens in Tampa. Being averse to crowds, we had never made attending a priority. I honestly hadn’t really even looked at the dates to realize we’d be in the area until an e-mail showed up that basically said: Would you like to […]
Looking for Peace & Quiet? Skip Lake Manatee State Park – Bradenton, FL
Snagging last minute spots in the high season is kinda fun if you’re willing to go with the flow. Sometimes you score big time with an awesome site (like our last stop – Oscar Scherer State Park), and sometimes… well… Lake Manatee State Park – Bradenton, FL I was excited to be able to snag […]
Kicking the Year Off at Oscar Scherer State Park – Osprey, FL
We woke up New Years morning from our NyQuil hangover in Arcadia, FL at the bus rally. That evening, Fat Point Brewery in nearby Punta Gorda had invited the rally to move to their parking lot for beer tasting. Since we hadn’t been able to find reservations until the 2nd, we had decided we’d likely overnight […]
Happy New Year (Ooops, a Bit Late?) – Holidays in Melbourne & Arcadia Bus Rally
It seems like just last evening we were toasting each other with NyQuil (of the cherry vintage) to bring in the new year. And wow, now it’s the 9th. Just how does the time fly so quickly?? Yup, we started our new years off ever so romantically, both of us fighting some sort of crud we […]
Our 2016 Travel Route & Year in Review
Ah, end of the year. That time when we look back, remark on how fast it went by, how much we did, and what’s ahead. For us road nomads, we usually wrap it up with a route of our travels. So, presenting our 2016 travel map (below is a larger embedded and interactive map, you’ll need to click over […]
