Information about places we’ve stayed.
This is Part 2 of a 7 part series on traveling with an RV or travel trailer. It’s all about what has worked well for Fay and me over the last several years of traveling through the U.S. and Canada. The 7 articles in the series are (click to view): – Planning Your Route – […]
We’ve Stayed A Lot of Places! It’s been five years since we purchased our small travel trailer. We’ve traveled the U.S. coast-to-coast and into Canada, spent over 250 nights sleeping in it, and visited 80 campgrounds. Along the way we’ve written reviews of all of them with lots of photos to make it easy to […]
Taking Time to Enjoy the Journey After writing about how we avoided highways on our recent trip from Orlando to Michigan, I received quite a few emails. With so many people making this trip (I suspect most of them coming to Florida in the winter), a lot of people asked about the specific route we […]
What a Great Summer Trip We Had! The highlight was being able to spend a month in Michigan enjoying some cooler weather and visiting with old friends and cousins. You seldom realize how fast life is passing you by until you get with friends and talk about old times that seem like yesterday. If you […]
The Journey Continues After relaxing a few days in Mississippi, we continued on to Alabama for a weekend of visiting in Birmingham before heading to Michigan. This is where Fay and I met when we were both living there back in the early 80s. Fay’s dad was the pastor at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral there […]
On the Road Again! We had several goals when purchasing a small travel trailer back in 2014. One of our main ones was to have an affordable way to get away from the heat of Florida for a while each summer. Last year some medical issues caused us to stay closer to home, so we […]
Wekiwa State Park in Orlando We really do love Disney Fay and I have lived in Orlando for over 30 years. We have certainly spent enough time at Disneyworld and the theme parks to last a lifetime. In fact, for years we would purchase an annual “after 4:00 Florida Residents Epcot pass” that would allow […]
(photo by Greg Zimmerman) What a great time at an interesting place A weekend of camping, music and making new friends in north Florida So I’m sitting here parked in the middle of a heavily wooded, somewhat rustic atmosphere (but we do have full hookups), surrounded by probably 100 little fiberglass trailers. It’s the Florida […]
We live in Orlando Florida The vacation capital of the world If you are like many people, you probably can’t wait to come to Florida. We have great beaches, a lot of water for swimming, boating and fishing, and of course more theme parks and tourist traps than anywhere else in the world. You can […]
But first… How did we end up in Spring Lake Michigan? The Grand River, the longest river in Michigan, flows into Lake Michigan in Grand Haven. Grand Haven is the town where I was born, as well as my dad and grandfather. While I left the area almost 50 years ago, I still have plenty […]
