Savannah South KOA
Our home for the past four days has been the Savannah South KOA in Richmond Hill GA. Our primary concern in getting a place near Savannah is to be near Savannah, so we really didn’t look closely at the amenities of this park before we booked it. But it was a surprise. We love this … Continue reading
Headstone hunting, Savannah edition
If you like walking through cemeteries looking at headstones, consider joining FindAGrave.com. Its main purpose is to locate the final resting places of the dearly departed. But if you would like a photo of Uncle Ben’s headstone and are nowhere near his grave, you can post a photo request on FindAGrave and maybe, just maybe, … Continue reading
TTN Hop 2: Ocala FL to Richmond Hill GA
221 miles via I-75, US 301, I-10, I-295 (around Jacksonville), I-95, US 84 and US 17. Cumulative tow miles: 438 We have traveled most of this route before. Taking US 301 from Ocala to Jacksonville cuts off many miles from the I-75/I-10 route. It is a bit slower, perhaps, but not bad. And more interesting, … Continue reading
Ocala FL
We have stayed in the vicinity of Ocala several times before, but have never explored the city. This time I planned an extra day, just to give us time to look around. My tentative plan was to visit Silver Springs State Park and, perhaps, take one of their famous glass-bottomed boat tours. We did, in … Continue reading
TTN Hop 1: Ft Myers Beach FL to Ocala FL
217 miles via I-75, FL 80, FL 31, US 17, US 98, US 301, I-75 (again) and US 27 There are times when the Google map route and the GPS route just don’t jibe, for no apparent reason, and this was one of those times. Google very clearly preferred taking FL 471 north from US … Continue reading
Gulf Waters by night
One of the many things I love about Gulf Waters is the way many of the owners illuminate their sites. There is a fun, festive feel about the place. It reminds me of my trip to Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen many years ago. Just one more thing that we will miss when we leave – … Continue reading
EO Burgers
After a forgettable meal in Fort Myers Beach, we returned to EO Burgers in the Bell Tower Shops mall in Ft Myers. We had dined there (yes, I use the term “dined” for a burger place) in the first few weeks of our stay, liked it very much, and wanted to return before we headed … Continue reading
Fort Myers Beach
Jett and I have been living in Ft Myers Beach for nearly 5 months now, but we don’t live on the beach. We have driven down the Estero Blvd – the only street that runs the length of the beach – but never actually saw the beach, walked the beach or dipped our toes in … Continue reading
A really fine piña colada
On Friday Jett and I were out-and-about, running errands in preparation for the trip north. One of those errands was getting Rusty groomed. Another was getting Jett some new shoes. We finished getting the shoes before Rusty was finished being groomed, so we decided to have a late lunch at the Bahama Breeze near the … Continue reading
We miss it already
We have one week left in our 5-month season at Gulf Waters RV Resort and we are missing it already. We would love to come back again next year, but are committed to being somewhere else. The main reason to go to another park next year is that we want a lot of flexibility. We … Continue reading
