It was an interesting trip, and in many ways a different kind of RV Adventure for us. When Pam finally gets home the entire trip will be 11 weeks, about 3 weeks more than last year in Mexico. Usually our trips are in the style of a vagabond. We rarely stay in one place more than 4 nights. On this trip we set a new record having stayed in Marathon for a whole 11 nights. We stayed 2 other places for a week, and at least 4 other locations for 5 days or more. We only "dry camped" (that's not having electricity, water, etc) for about 7 nights. All the rest of the trip we were "plugged in" and often had cable TV.
Our experience was tainted by the weather. We all know this winter was horrible just about everywhere. In Florida by most measurements it was at least the second coldest winter on record. Just about every day was at least 10ยบ colder than usual. We didn't get to do hardly any diving or snorkeling which we really had our hearts set on when we were in the Keys. We also learned that there is a pretty significant climate difference in the central part of Florida (in the Orlando area) versus farther south like Fort Myers. If & when we go back I bet we spend most of our time in the far southern parts of the state.
Thanks for reading our blog. Our next trip may be Alaska this summer but we are not sure yet. When we do head out to hit the road you will hear about it on this blog.
