Travel Prep to Begin Soon

Travel Prep to Begin Soon – We are continuing to enjoy our Florida oasis where we have been for about 2.5 months now. When all the mandates came out about sheltering in place we decided that Clermont Florida was the best of all our options. And it has proven to be that. Covid cases have been very low, excellent healthcare systems, and some great weather from March to mid-May. And then somewhere around mid-May it suddenly became hot and humid. It seems paradise does have a small downside. It’s about time to prep for travel!

Reopening Florida & Another Week

I’ll start out this update with the weather. That is always a good starter. The weather has actually been kind of boring. I start to take it for granted until we talk to family or friends Up North. Our days have been mostly sunny and in the mid 80’s. But the weather in the New River Valley of Virginia has been very mild with the exception of a couple nights down at freezing. Okay, the weather update out of the way…

Bok Tower Tour

Bok Tower, Gardens, and Mansion Tour – It has been some time since my last blog update. We are doing absolutely fine, although in a virtual Groundhog Day repeat mode. Get up, eat breakfast, walk two miles, do a few chores, then lunch and dinner. And usually a 4:30 happy hour with our neighbors and good friends, Calvin and Sue while maintaining the legal 10 foot distance. All within our RV park. It is actually getting exceedingly boring. To help combat the boredom, I have written about one of the last outings we took before the proverbial wheels came off.

Covid Lockdown Day 29

Covid Lockdown Day 29 – We continue to be very blessed with our good health and a great location to weather this virus lockdown. The central Florida weather has been warm and sunny with only one day of rain since we arrived back on March 22nd. You might remember our prior RV park was quickly shutting down in Bowling Green Florida. We had planned to stay there until April 1st. But as the virus countermeasures swiftly grew more restrictive, it was time to move. Our move back to Clermont Florida was exactly what we needed.

Virtual Summer RV Trip

I thought it would be interesting to take a virtual RV trip to our previously planned summer destinations. While I was staying in and hunkering down. These were our 2020 plans before we cancelled the entire summer due to the lockdown. So grab a beverage and fasten your seatbelt as we take our summer trip. Our stops will be to Virginia, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. The virtual trip should have some great fuel mileage!

Covid Lockdown Day 19

We are continuing to shelter in place at our RV resort just west of Orlando Florida. I feel pretty safe here, in fact we have had very little social contact and always maintaining the 6-10 feet. In fact, it has been over two weeks since we were inside of any brick and mortar store. Utilizing the online apps and curbside pickups, we simply park in the designated spot, call the store, and within a minute an employee loads the groceries into our truck. Then it is home to disinfect everything!

We’ve Moved! RV Park Issues in Florida

During the week of March 15th, things kept getting crazier by the day due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Florida state parks were closing their campgrounds and many private parks were all but shutting down. Our RV resort, Pioneer Creek, announced they were locking all common area buildings, restrooms, and the laundry rooms. Would their next move be to actually close the park? Would the state hold people in place? Okay, it is time to determine what to do…
