Greetings from Northern Florida !

 We're having a great trip! Sorry for missing two days but there was no WIFI in our area. We have now "summarized" the trailer (which involves flushing the water system and testing all other operations). The first picture was taken in St Augustine Marina. The bridge in the background is the Bridge of Lions. The Second picture shows the Alcazare Hotel (now the Lightner Musem). Catch you next time!

Greetings From Savannah, Georgia !


This is a picture of the City Hall in Savannah. As you can see, it's quite unique.
The dome I'm told is made of real gold plate. There are over 400 historically significant buildings such as this in the downtown area.

Greetings fron Georgia!
    Well we finally beat the snow! Left Northern South Carolina this morning
with slick, icy roads and below zero temperatures. Pulled into Georgia at +6C
and beautiful sunshine! Hopefully that's the end of this "cold snap" as the locals call it. They're complaining of too cold winters and too hot summers.
Unfortunately we've had to cut out Kitty Hawk and Charleston, SC from our trip due to the weather so we may stay longer in Florida simply because it's warmer. We haven't even "started" camping as the nights are still well below freezing.

Greetings from South Carolina
     The news today is THE WEATHER -IT'S TERRIBLE.
Freezing rain this morning so bad the Governor declared a State of Emergency.
So we left late morning heading south. Now we're in South Carolina and there's 5 to 7 inches of snow! The temperature is around zero. I thought it was supposed to be warm down here!

Greetings from North Carolina!

Hi Everyone
     We've made it into the Carolinas. Having a great time! The Highlight today was crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel into Norfolk! One of the Seven Wonders of the Engineering World. 15 miles of bridges and two tunnels.
     Good trip but VERY COLD. Below 0 C ( 29 or 30 F) which is unseasonably cold for this area. In fact the weather forecast is for freezing rain tonight and all the School Boards have already closed the schools tomorrow!
Not camping weather anyways. I think we'll head a lot farther south tomorrow.
I'm also having some picture issues with my camera which I hope to correct tomorrow and then hopefully I can show off some pictures.
Cheers!

Greetings From Delaware

  We have arrived in the State of Delaware. Mostly uneventful however we had
snow through most of New York State and part of Pennsylvania. The trailer very badly needs a bath (which it will get as soon as we hit the warmth). No trouble at the border. We sailed right through.
Temp: -3 to -6C / 25 to 28F.
