As part of our stay last year we talked about going to Walt Disney World with Kevin and Cindy, it had been a few years and they have opened up Pandora in Animal Kingdom based on the movie Avatar, and re worked downtown disney into Disney Springs. We are both longtime members of the Disney Vacation Club so getting lodging was easy, we picked Saratoga Springs Resort which is connected to Disney Springs. I was able to get some steeply…
We have officially reached one year on the Road in our RV. It is amazing how fast it as gone. In a year we traveled out to the west coast, spent about 1/2 the year going from Southern California up into Washington, then put the RV on the Ferry to Victoria, British Columbia. We turned around and headed south back to Southern California. We jumped across the US to get to the Tiffin Factory in Red Bay, Alabama to get…
So we have finalized our travel plans for 2018. We will start the year in Florida along the beach in Pensacola, FL and moving west along the coast and into the heart of Texas. Here is a quick summary of our plans if you want to try and find us and go RVing with us along the way. Mon, January 1 to Thu, to January 11 – Gulfport, MS Thu, January 11 to Thu, January 18 – Port Arthur, TX…
One of things you have to be flexible on is your plans, things are going to happen around you with family and friends that you want to try and help out. Since we are retired, it is a little easier to say, let’s go here and see what we can do to help out when things happen. This year we have mostly stuck to our main plans with some minor tweaks as we traveled up the west coast into Canada….
We have be on the road for 7 Months, and most of all of our experiences have been positive, but as the world turns, we were bound to hit a rough spot at some point. Well, we finally hit one in Crescent City. When I was picking sites to stay, I would look at locations, check out reviews and cost as we have a budget to follow. I picked Bayview RV in Crescent City since it was within the budget…
We took a trip south to check out some of the sights. Here is some of the pictures of our drive through the redwood forests and stopping at the museum on the local logging that was right near a huge working sawmill in Scotia, called the Humboldt Redwood Company Lumber Mill. Some of the logs are hard to believe, cut down by hand and dragged out of the forests by steam engines and geared steam locomotives. Some of the building…
So during our stop in Lake Oroville, we made some changes to the RV. We replaced the air number mattress with a new foam mattress from Amazon. The air controlled one seems to sag and the two air bladders seemed to not be very comfortable when you were off center. I looked at Amazon and found a highly rated King memory foam/cooling gel mattress for only $350, so what the heck, let’s give it a try. What a nice difference,…
We spent a week in Monterey and had a great time, with so much to see I need to break up this post into two parts. First up is the Monterey Aquarium: Next was a tour along the coast down to pebble beach. Talk about drop dead type of scenery, it was breathtaking…. We also had to deal with a major plumbing issue, the fancy motorized toilet had a malfunction and the ball valve would not open which required…
Well, we have been on the road for almost a week, we left DC on Tuesday morning, and drove to Norfolk, VA for 2 days, then drove down to Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Base near New Bern, NC for 2 day and then drove to the Naval Weapons Station north of Charleston, SC. I figured I would post some pictures of the places and what we have done. The girls (westies) went to the beach for the first time,…
We are now just a week away from starting on our 1st long deployment that will take us first to Florida, then across to US to California. We have planned out the trip, made the needed reservations and got a overall plan in place. One part is to go back to the Tiffin Factory to get some minor warranty work done. A recent add to that list became a key point when the dryer tripped the breaker when in use…
