Leaving Cedar Key

Travelogues

Feb 21, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 16 Comments

Alright – I couldn’t resist one more Cedar Key post.

We arrived back from our cruise late on Sunday evening, and it was a bit sad to realize that many from our convergence were now on their way to new adventures. Many of them are heading on up to New Orleans for Mardis Gras, and we know they’re going to have a fabulous time!

We’re glad we got to say our ‘until next times’ before everyone has headed their separate ways, we trust that our paths will cross again!

Upon our return, Kiki was anxious to see us and a few of the nomads were still hanging around. We enjoyed a final night at the Low Key Tiki Bar with friends ending the day with a gorgeous sunset.

But mostly, we were right back to working long hours on this project we’re so super excited about. It’s getting close to being ready for launch!

Screen Shot 2014-02-21 at 9.56.57 AMWe also managed to squeeze in a live video chat, and it felt really good to share a more personal topic of RVing for Introverts.  Check out our video chat archive page if you have an hour & bandwidth to spare – lots of great tips shared about how to thrive on the road as an introvert, and how RVing really is a great balance for introverts with wanderlust.

We left Cedar Key yesterday morning after our two month stay – one of our longer stationary periods. As much as we love Cedar Key, the nomadic itch has been strong the past couple weeks – and we’re excited to be off on new adventures in new locations! It’s always a balancing act between being some place long enough but not too long.

We made the 100 mile repositioning down to Brooksville, where we’re now at the Tin Can Tourists 94th Convention. We’ll be connecting with our vintage RV peers this weekend, and then we’ll be bouncing around Central Florida for a couple weeks while we await the great white north to start thawing out a bit.

But before we end this post, we wanted to share some of the amazing sunsets that Cedar Key graced us with before our departure.

    Great photos and nice little farewell write up. Glad you had a good cruise.

    The introvert post and video are something I can fully relate to. Nice to see some one address the issue head-on like that. I’m sure it will turn on a little light bulb for a few others. Nice job to both of you for that.

    Keep having fun.

    Those are some really spectacular sunsets…I think they may even be better than the awesome Arizona sunsets we’ve got out here! Safe travels and fun times ahead…

    Wow! Incredible sunsets. Days that end with such beauty could certainly keep us in one spot for a couple months!

      Last year when we were in Cedar Key, sunsets like these would be ‘run of the mill’… and they definitely tempted us into booking 2 months this year. Unfortunately, amazing sunsets were a little more rare this year, but still very much appreciated when they happened.
