Because my “Florida-to-Victoria” Blog is significantly past it’s due date I seriously considered skipping this final entry and moving directly to our new travel adventure. But, for some reason this “loose-end” void has got the better of me and I feel compelled to “sum-up” the Florida trip with at least a few words and some photos.
Our time in Florida was fascinating in a number of ways with alligators along the roads, endless pristine beaches, famous Key West, impressive Kennedy Space Centre (NASA), historical St. Augustine, and much more. The speedy return home from Florida was also filled with interesting and often breath-taking-beautiful sites along the way as we passed through the following states: Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma,Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Some especially memorable locations included Montgomery and Selma, Alabama (Civil Rights Movement), BB King’s home town, Little Rock, Oklahoma City, Route 66, Las Alamos, Mesa Verde National Park, Grand Canyon NP, Las Vegas, Zion and Bryce NP. All of this was pleasantly capped off by having a wonderful visit with Kristen, Erik & Everett in Portland before completing our long but very enjoyable trip home to Victoria.
Our Mercedes motorhome proved to be a fantastic platform that carried us about 18,000 Km in 3 months with very few issues. We’re now about to embark on a fall trip across Canada to Sydney Nova Scotia and back. We’re very excited about spending some time exploring our own country and hopefully our motorhome will perform as well as it did in the spring.
