We woke up New Years morning from our NyQuil hangover in Arcadia, FL at the bus rally. That evening, Fat Point Brewery in nearby Punta Gorda had invited the rally to move to their parking lot for beer tasting. Since we hadn’t been able to find reservations until the 2nd, we had decided we’d likely overnight […]

Thanksgiving Stop in Spring Hill, Florida & Vacation Preps
Our timing of returning to Florida was of course, the holidays. The past two winter seasons we spent out west away from our family, always a tough call in this nomadic lifestyle. While we love Florida and love being near family, we also love being out in the wonderful desert southwest in the winter. And […]
A Return to an Old Favorite: Cedar Key, FL – Sunset Isle RV Park
Why did we do this to ourselves? We love Cedar Key, Florida and it’s one of the few places we’ll put on the tire covers for more than a few weeks. And we know that a short stay is never ever enough to get in full groove of island time. But we did it anyway. […]
A Day at the Beach: Gamble Rogers State Recreation Area – Flagler Beach, Florida
Ok well, maybe more accurately four days at the beach. We’ve crossed paths with the oceanfront campground at Gamble Rogers State Recreation area many times. We actually have stayed at other parks in the area, Tomoka and Faver Dykes, and very much enjoyed them. As we would pass by via A1A, I wasn’t quite sure […]
Two Weeks Catching Up in Melbourne, Florida
Ahhh.. returning from our 3-week adventure up to Canada. A break from routine, even when our normal is pretty variable, is awesome and soul-refreshing. We love the alternate perspective it gives us, which is why we love mixing up our travel styles from time to time. But returning home always has its adjustment period. We […]
Friends & Vacation Preps in Clermont, FL: Lake Louisa State Park
With a week left to go until VACATION (not that we were excited or anything), we had one final stop planned before getting the bus ready to put in storage for a few weeks. And that was a visit to the Orlando area to catch up with some long time friends who live not too […]
Travelogue: Orlando to Austin (SXSW)
Time Frame: March 7 – 21, 2010 Miles Driven: 1229 After an extended stay in Florida catching up with family and friends, checking out sail boats and making new friends – we decided to head on to Austin to be in the area while SXSW Interactive was going on. With so many bloggers and friends […]
Travelogue: St. Louis to Florida
Time frame: January 20 – February 20, 2010 Miles Driven: 1776 After an extended month long winter and holiday stop in St. Louis visiting Chris’ family, it was time to head south for the remainder of the winter. Cherie previously lived in Florida for 12 years before we hit the road, and that’s where her […]
The Miami International Boat Show
As planned, we spent Saturday and Sunday this past weekend at the Miami International Boat Show and the co-located sailing focused Strictly Sail Miami. Though these events have traditionally been very distinct, the no-longer-appropriately-named “Strictly Sail” has unfortunately now been devoured by the vastly larger powerboat focused Miami International Boat Show. To our disappointment, there […]
Video Edition: STS-130 – Launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour
Since Saturday afternoon, we’ve been camped along the Indian River in Titusville, Florida – right off Highway US 1. We’ve been enjoying a completely awesome nomadic rendezvous with Sean Welsh and Louise Hornor of Our Odyssey as temporary neighbors (it’s our first in person meeting after years of cyber stalking each other around the country.)
