Looks like it took me as long to post about Florida as it did to explore Florida. There was so much that we did. While the state in and of itself is interesting, it’s not a place I would settle down. If I were a billionaire, I would own some …
Florida City, Aptly named as it is the southernmost city on the peninsula of Florida. Beautiful weather and amazing rain storms. We found a small RV park that was reasonably priced (the only one in the area for under $50 a night). With the cost of pulling the RV …
With Florida being a peninsula it seems funny to break it up in to so many pieces, but there are some very distinct areas. Some are well groomed, some are wild. Most have water somewhere. But the vegetation and people change as you travel so it’s worth seeing as much …
Pensacola, Santa Rosa, Destin, Miramar, Tallahassee. Some beautiful beaches, piers, and towns. If you ask around though it’s more like southern Alabama than the rest of Florida.

In the 9 months we have been in the RV we have spent almost 6 on the road. In all of this Austin was full of the biggest challenges. Not because Austin is a challenge but because as we moved from DFW area to Austin a perfect culmination of stuff …
