Our visit this week with Jim and Pat Hoffman became more than just building a friendship with the four of us. One of our conversations that began with talking about mail forwarding services led to sharing what it costs us each for our vehicle license tabs and insurance- South Dakota vs Florida. We both own… Continue reading Changing Domicile

De Soto State Park
We reserved two nights at De Soto State Park as early out as we could. We wanted three nights but could only get two consecutive nights in a site where we could fit. Our site was #210. Approaching the St. Petersburg and De Soto area we had three separate tolls. The first one was $4.50.… Continue reading De Soto State Park
Thornton Creek MC Resort- Time With Family & Friends
Jim Hoffman, a friend from high school, told me a while back about the lot that he and his wife, Pat, have at Thornton Creek Motorcoach Resort, and how much they love it. We could come and stay for 3 nights at no charge to check out the resort. We decided to add the three… Continue reading Thornton Creek MC Resort- Time With Family & Friends
New Friends at Gulf Waters Resort
I love how social the rv lifestyle can be, but it is also sad that sometimes as you get to know another couple, it is time that one of you is moving on to a new place. We met Gary and Patty from Illinois this week while playing pickleball. Gary and I enjoyed playing with… Continue reading New Friends at Gulf Waters Resort
Alligator In “Our” Pond
Gary and Patty came by our site after we played pickleball this morning. Patty was telling me about seeing one of the young alligators yesterday afternoon. She said it was out of the water up near a tree! As she was speaking, one of them pointed out to the water directly in front of us,… Continue reading Alligator In “Our” Pond
Day Trip to Sanibel Island

The toll to come onto the island was $6 for 2 axles. We parked at Bowman’s Beach. Wow–$5 an hour for… Continue reading Day Trip to Sanibel Island

The office is closed on the weekends, but the office personnel contacted us ahead of time to provide gate codes and where to find our welcome packet. Always nice to have… Continue reading Gulf Waters RV Resort Ft. Myers, FL
Florida Alligators!
I wanted to see an alligator in the wild, but not too close or within my living site. On our way from the Keys to Ft Myers we went through the general Everglades area of Florida. We were told about the Cypress Visitor’s area to stop along the way to see some alligators. We made… Continue reading Florida Alligators!
Bahia Honda State Park
December 27th we went to Bahia Honda State Park. We had to drive since we wanted to take our kayaks. It was $9 for two people in a car, but if I had gotten out prior to the gate and walked in we would have save $2. Ridiculous. Don’t understand why it isn’t just a… Continue reading Bahia Honda State Park
