Orlando, FL


We are back home. We had an uneventful drive from Brunswick, GA. Barbara has come down with a cold so I did the four-hour drive in one leg. Normally we switch off every two hours or so which is much easier on us. Traffic was light and and we only encountered periodic light to moderate rain. The rain was welcome, though, since it brought the temperature down from the high of 97 degrees.

This was an interesting trip in that we visited so many friends and ended up eating so many meals away from the coach. Ended up unloading a lot of food that we left with July 10th. Two stops at Trader Joe’s along the way meant we actually returned with a whole lot more wine than we left with.

It was a terrific road trip. We spent time with great friends, and met many new ones. I got to visit some of Barbara's family for the first time. We visited parts of the country that neither of us had seen, and had a great time learning about nurseries, farming and tractors from the wonderful Bissen family.

















We drove over 3800 miles on this trip and passed through thirteen states. We added eight new states to our “States Traveled” map since we only count states if we overnight at least one night.

It is nice to have rain here at home, but it is keeping us from our next challenge: WEEDS.
