RV travels around the USA
We are officially, finally, off on our annual snowbird pilgrimage to the warm south. I’m writing this post from our RV park from Savannah, Georgia, an overnight stop on the way. I did have a few unexpected snags with the RV this year. Just to make things interesting, I guess.
Yes, the summer and fall have come to an end, and we begin another winter season on the gulf coast of Florida. But we do take a few extra days on our southbound journey. No since in getting in a huge hurry, since we are happily retired and have no pressing schedule. We delayed leaving until after Thanksgiving and seeing the family for a combined Holidays. I’ll cover our favorite southern city, Savannah, Georgia, in this blog update…
We are back to our usual route south to Florida down through South Carolina and eastern Georgia then into Florida. This route has been heavily traveled over the years even before the RV travels. Interstate 95 is the major pipeline for snowbirds from the eastern part of the US and Canada. We had an enjoyable three day stopover in one of our favorites: Savannah, Ga.
Our four night stayover was long enough for a couple of forays into the city to walk between the town squares and admire the stately old homes. In part 1, Pat and I walked around a bit and had a great anniversary dinner. In part 2, I’ve mainly included a few more photos that I liked. Hope you do too. It was great to see all the Christmas decorations on the grand old homes. Savannah, Ga part 2 plus some other thoughts…
Being on the road is all coming back again as if we never had an interruption! While having the home base is great, I have missed the excitement of travel and exploring new places. Even with Covid, it is great to be back in the RV and on the road. Our 2nd and 3rd stops were at Myrtle Beach and Savannah. Here is a quick recap…
The day finally arrived for us to pack up, pull in the slides and get back to what we bought the RV for: travel. It has been over eight months since we came to Florida for the winter. And now we are into the heat and humidity of a Florida summer that takes a hardy soul to survive. Our plan is to take a few stops and be back to Virginia in a week.
This is our third trip to this beautiful southern city. Savannah, Ga – we are back again! The first visit was just after I retired in May 2017. The second time was the entire month of March in 2018 when we met family (Mike & Lorna). This visit was just one week on our way south to Florida for the winter. We revisited some of our favorite restaurants, walked many of the 22 squares, and met up with some RV friends. Savannah is one of our favorites!
The drive south from Waco was very good. Even though there were a few heavy traffic places, it all flowed well and the road condition was good. First some observations and then a recap of our week! Continue reading “Austin – Capitol of Texas”
