Clermont, Florida – Disney Epcot

Clermont, Florida has been a great location to be very near Disney, have a Publix grocery within walking distance, many restaurants, and central to several quaint small towns. Our RV park is the Citrus Valley RV Resort and is one of the finest in our three years of travel. So, one of the goals of this location is to take in as much of Disney as we could with our good friends Calvin and Sue. Calvin, being a Disney retiree, continues to enjoy the perks and can share them with friends! In this update, we go to Epcot!

Coronavirus and Our RV Travel Plans

There is so much in the current news about the latest Coronavirus and most of it is probably the normal hype that is associated with these health issues. I’ve heard a wide variation as to how people are going to prepare and change their behavior during this time. As we are actively making our spring/summer/fall RV travel plans, I thought it would be prudent to do a little research and then make a decision if we need to modify our plans.

Clermont, Florida – Annual Maintenance, Travel Planning, & Other Stuff

Clermont, Florida – The winter travel break is a time to kind of relax from the chores of being on the road. Don’t get me wrong. We still love the travels all over this great country, but there is a small downside in the stress of relocating the 41 foot beast of a fifth wheel trailer to new and unknown destinations. During the 3-4 month winter season, in the southern warm climates, we do get the chance to just relax, but we also tackle any annual maintenance, begin on the new spring/summer/fall travel plans, and some other stuff thrown in as well.

Clermont, Florida – Disney Lunch & A Hamfest

After a great month of January, we packed up and left the JOY RV Park in Cocoa on Feb 1st for the short drive to the southwest of Orlando. Our new home location is the very fast growing town Clermont Florida, with a population of 37,000 people. This location is just a few minutes from the Disney theme parks and still has a small town feel even though it is just next door to Orlando. We recently had a trip to Disney for lunch and a few days later, I managed to hit the large amateur radio convention (hamfest) called the Hamcation.

Cocoa Florida and A Cruise Vacation!

This is our first vacation in almost three years since we retired and became full time RVers. Well, there was the Durango escape last summer.

Anyway, we are super excited to be going on our first cruise in seven years. So, keep reading to find out about our relocation to Cocoa Florida and a cruise vacation!

Cortez Florida – Part Three & Goodbye

We ended our month long stay at this popular winter resort destination in Cortez Florida. It has been a wonderful location. Close to family and walking distance to a dozen restaurants and bars. And we had a great visit from our three kids just before Christmas. It is hard to say goodbye, but it is time to move on to the east coast of Florida and a vacation. But, before we go there, here is a wrap up from the final two weeks at Cortez Florida – Part 3 of 3.

Anna Maria Island, Fl – Family Christmas

It has been a couple of weeks since my last blog update. We have been very busy with a new relocation and a vacation thrown in for good measure. After having gone this long without typing my thoughts and searching for some good photos, I have found that I miss the updates. Miss the composing of these short essays.

Well, I’m back now and will try to get caught up on the prior few weeks. Going back to mid-December, our three kids all flew down to our base camp near Anna Maria Island, Florida, just south of Tampa on the gulf coast. We had been looking forward to their arrival and spending three days with them just hanging out and enjoying the great weather.
