We're back, and wishing we weren't.
Hey all, we're back from our Florida Keys vacation. Saw and did a lot of cool things. Here's some things to keep in mind on your Keys vacation:1) Go to Sloppy Joe's. Yes, this is a name of a place, the source of 'the' Sloppy Joe. I had one, and it was the best I've ever had! This was one of Ernest Hemmingways haunts before he moved to Cuba. Plenty of pictures of him on the walls, and stories. Thinking that 'The Old Man and the Sea' was penned there.2) Rent scooters. A lot less headaches, and parking is free (car parking is .25 for 10 minutes).3) Take a sunset cruise. A very relaxing way to end a day.4) Schooner Wharf. Have a drink,

Day 3: Scooter go vroom vroom!
Just another beautiful day in the Keys. We learned our lesson in trying to walk around town to see the sites, just too blazing hot! We gave up and rented scooters, and what a difference! We tooled around town, until Jen had to stop in the pits for a last minute flip-flop repair (sadly, it wasn't repairable, had to get new ones). She almost wiped out in a parking lot, into a brandy-new Lincoln Town Car.After the flip-flop exchange was made, we zipped around for hours. This was Jen's first time on a scooter, (she's quite the evil knievel) and she had a blast (as did I). Made parking much easier, and more cost effective as parking a scooter is always free, and a car is .25 for 10 m

Day 2: What our trips should always be like
We got into our site late last night (as usual) at Blue Water Key RV Resort and were astounded at it,even in the darkness.What we are about to tell you about is the best kept secret RV campground in t

Valdosta, GA is almost in Florida! (But not quite.)
DAY ONE:True to form, we left home base 2 hours later than we had hoped. That's OK, we're on vacation...finally. Nevermind the fact that we had ambitiously planned to get as far as Orlando...riiiiight. We've hunkered down in a Cracker Barrel parking lot for the night, eager for the morning to come. We'll get a decent breakfast (thanks Mummie) and then head further south on "lovely" (and endless) I-75. Looking forward to getting past the Florida expressway and seeing the sights, as well as our campground in Shangri-La. Stay tuned! Time for Zzzzz's.
