2016 RV trip to Florida Panhandle
We ended up sleeping a little longer than we had wanted to, but we were up and at it right away….emptying the pantry, cabinets, drawers, packing up, and cleaning. (I like to clean the trailer before putting it away, so it’s ready for next time.) We did everything, hooked up, and were on the road …
This morning, we woke up and checked the Weather Channel for an update on Hurricane Matthew. They are calling for 40 mph winds in Ocala Thursday afternoon. Bob doesn’t want to pull the trailer in high winds, so we’ll cut our trip short by 2 days and head home Thursday morning. We have a plan! …
We were up and on the move around 9:30. We had about 2 1/2 hours of driving today on the Interstate. We’ve had fabulous weather the last 2 weeks and today is no exception–sunny skies and a light breeze. We have been getting some torrential rain back home according to our neighbors, but nary a …

We set the alarm so we could get up to go make reservations for a cave tour at the Visitor’s Center when it opens at 8:45. There’s no way to know how busy the tours are and they sell out quickly. There is a limit of 25 people per tour and today was our last …
We were in no hurry to leave this morning with 154 miles to go and most of it was Interstate. We left the dazzling white sand beaches and blue Gulf waters to travel through rolling hills of forests and grasslands. What a difference a few miles can make! Our destination was Marianna, FL east of …

It’s hard to believe it already October. Where did the time go? We made a few phone calls this morning and made plans to drive downtown to Pensacola’s Historic District. We didn’t realize that this was the weekend for Pensacola’s Seafood Festival down in the same area of town. Oh well… more to see and …
This was the first time we were able to sleep with the windows open last night. Overnight, it got kind of chilly and we had to grab another blanket. Even Auggie came to tell us he wanted to join us in our warm bed. His ears were so cold. He snuggled right in and we …
We had a full day planned today, so we didn’t waste any time getting ourselves ready to go. We left the campground at 9:30 and took the short drive to Naval Air Station Pensacola. We had to show our picture IDs to get through the gate and were directed where to go. We arrived just …
We slept in today….to about 7:30. We were moving on today to Big Lagoon State Park. The drive is about 2 hours so we don’t need to hurry. Bob took some time to wash the truck while I prepped the trailer for travel. We pulled out of the campground around 11:30 and drove down Highway …

We had a lazy morning getting caught up on some emails and other business. We packed up our beach gear and left around noon to head to the beach. Just down the road is beach access with a parking lot so that was our destination. The park offers a free tram to take campers to …
