RV and other travels around the World
We really enjoyed our stay in Williamsburg, Va, but after a week it was time to move further north to our nation’s capital, Washington D.C. This next leg was exactly the miles that I like to travel in a day at 167, but I was dreading the drive around the DC beltway on I-495. The DC traffic can be a nightmare.

We had reserved a great campsite at Claytor Lake State Park that is near to our old home town of Christiansburg, Virginia. We booked this site for the maximum time of two weeks to allow us time to complete all of our annual health checkups plus some vehicle maintenance.
This leg of our travels was about 400 miles over two days of driving. This is a bit longer than we really like to drive, but needed to get to our Virginia location for some appointments.
We also had an unexpected brake failure with the 5th wheel coach while traveling in the steep mountains from the Cincinnati area to a one night stopover in Huntington, West Virginia! Yikes!!! Continue reading “Southwest Virginia; Family, Friends, Many Appointments, and a Brake Failure! Yikes!”
Tigger, our 18 year old gray tabby cat, died this last week while we were back in our home area of Virginia. He was quite old and frail and had a bad heart condition. We knew that he would not last too much longer, but seemed to be enjoying his cat’s life. Up until about his last 4 or 5 days.
Our travel from Bardstown Ky. to Indianapolis was a very easy 160 miles with very few steep hills or windy roads. Nice long straight stretches of interstate highway. While driving the interstates does not give us a good look at the smaller towns, it is quicker, and usually has many good places for a rest stop with the large truck and camper.

We continue to love the charm of this cool old southern town. And we are very fortunate to being able to share some of the time with our family in from Texas. Mike and Lorna were here for five days and we packed a ton of things into that short time. Enough sight seeing for two blog posts! Plus we tried many restaurants and a few bars for liquid refreshments as well. In this post we’ll review the rest of their visit and then saying our goodbyes.

We are now into our third week stationed just outside of the beautiful city of Savannah, GA. We decided to return again this year after visiting for one week last year in May. The timing of our visit in the month of March has been close to perfect. All of the azaleas and camellias have been bursting in full bloom. The temperatures have been cooler, we experienced the St. Patrick’s Day celebration in this crazy town, and best of all, we had a visit from family from Texas! Continue reading “Savannah GA; Family Visit & St. Patrick’s Day”
As we are into our second week at our Savannah, Georgia location, we are excited about a visit from family and to see the many things we missed in our first trip here. You really need two weeks or longer to enjoy the many features of this historic city. In this post, I will review our trips to Tybee Island and to the Fort Pulaski. We have two more weeks here before moving northward again. Continue reading “Savannah GA; Tybee Island, Ft. Pulaski, and Family Arrives”
I can’t believe how quickly time flies by. Good grief, half of our stay here is already over. This has been a great place to spend a month at the Orchid Lake RV Resort. The weather has been perfect with temps in the mid seventies up to low eighties. Even with the warm weather there is always a light breeze, so under our awning has been a great place to chill. A few times we have ventured out into the real world and one of those ventures was to a small Greek village of Tarpon Springs.

The area along central Florida’s east coast from Titusville down to Cocoa Beach is known as the Space Coast, due to the long history they have tied to the US space industry. We stayed in the area for almost two months before moving over to the west coast of Florida and were able to see many sights, but not as much as we wanted. So, it will require another visit at some future date. Continue reading “Space Coast of Florida – Wrap Up”
We have now stayed at this park for almost two months – the longest anywhere. While I usually do not provide much in the way of campground reviews, I wanted to provide this quick update for others who may wish to stay here. Continue reading “J.O.Y. RV Park Review”
