That is right, we are in Snowbird Country: South Florida. RV campgrounds down here are quite full and a little on the expensive side. It is recommended to book your camp site months in advance. If you want to stay on the Keys, well you better book one year in advance and be willing to …
We returned to Florida on December 31 from visiting the family for the holidays. We spent the remainder of the day resting up. Needless-to-say, our New Year’s Eve was uneventful! That is okay, because we spent a week away from the puppies and the idea of leaving them alone for several more hours did not …
The last several years, I have tried to eat fairly healthy; however, since we set out on the road trip six months ago, our eating habits have fallen by the wayside. Both of us have put on a few extra inches that we really do not need. And it is so easy to do so …

The cancer card that is. This is something I try to avoid doing because I certainly am not looking for any handouts or sympathy. I’ll admit, I have taken advantage of my “disability” when I had to go to the DMV. Let’s all be honest, who wants to sit and wait at the DMV for …
Ever wonder why North Carolinians are called Tar Heels? Well so did I and I found out on our little tour of central North Carolina. We arrived last week and stayed at Smith Lake Rec Area at Fort Bragg. It is a nice campground, but thank you to the helicopters continuously flying overhead, it was …
