Dusting off the old map! In 2026, after Gail graduates with her master’s and Z & Mik finish college, we’re hitting the road again to complete our journey—just 8 states … **EDIT** OH WAIT, 20!! (What did I just commit to?? LOL) ** left to visit! We’re planning a coast-to-coast …
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 …
