We needed place to stay while visiting Daytona International Speedway, and landed at Beverly Beach Camptown. Still on the tail end of spring breakers, available campgrounds closer to the speedway were a no-go. We prefer to be on the beach whenever possible, anyway. Finding one in this area directly on the beach is rarity. As you might imagine, hotels occupy most of…

We stopped for an early lunch on our way to tour Kennedy Space Center. Checking my trusty resources, I found a little spot called Causeway Diner. It’s a little family owned place in a small strip center. The food was fantastic. The only complaint was a bad thing and a good thing all at the same time. My tea and Steve’s soda…

Port Canaveral has a very convenient campground, Jetty Park. It’s right on the causeway the cruise ships use to sail out to the Atlantic Ocean. Hearing Caribbean music playing, I went to investigate, and saw this: Pretty weird, huh? No, it’s not parked there. We thought about heading over to the cruise ship terminal for a…

On our way to points north, we stopped back in at Lazydays, Tampa. While there we met two couples that are bound to become long term RVing friends. Paul and Anna are originally from Australia, now full-time RVing in North America. We hit it off with both of them immediately. Paul is charismatic and quite social. Anna is soft spoken…

Wellll, the President is in town. That’s all fine and dandy, don’t worry about us. We’ll just work our way around all the closed streets and navigate the detours. We’ll skip the sightseeing we had planned. No problem. We really didn’t want to traverse Ocean Boulevard and A1A end to end, anyway. No sirree, not us. What would be the…

We have a close, car-enthusiast friend that’s been involved with Barrett-Jackson for years. Bryan is retired from his career in city government, freeing up even more time to happily work tirelessly at the “World’s Greatest Collector Car Auction”. As a matter fact, his daughter Emily works at Barrett-Jackson full time, playing a much larger role keeping things moving along smoothly behind…

We had a neighbor at Fiesta Key we called, “Guy in the Swing”. He was a guy that relaxed in a full-sized patio glider/swing. How on earth he transported the thing we haven’t a clue, but he sure looked comfy. We passed by him on our way to swim, sit in the spa, or go to Lobster Crawl. Names were…

Today we traveled north to Fiesta Key RV Resort and Marina. Our home for the next week, and a little closer to the airport for Brent and Jill, since they’re flying out tomorrow (BOO!) Once there, we set up camp, and were welcomed by an amazing creature! After B&J checked in to on-site their motel room, we all…

After a hearty brunch at Blue Heaven, a stroll was in order, so we headed to nearby Duval Street. On our way I spotted a place that made me think of our nephew and his wife: Enough champagne with do this to a person: We spent quite some time at Wyland…

The past couple of days the four of us had walked miles, been in and out of multiple shops and bars, and just generally go, go, go. We were quite ready for some down time. That’s why we saved Blue Heaven for last. Blue Heaven is a unique place. At one time it had a bordello, where…
