Started the day by breaking camp at Fort DeSoto Park Campground Site 38. Took a couple of moments to watch shorebirds foraging for their breakfast. Then met Kay and headed to Paradise Grille on Pass-a-Grille Beach. We fell in love with this place when it was Seaside...
Today we joined Deb and Pete at their new home, got the grand tour, they grilled the chicken and assembled the salad. We sat around on the screened in patio and enjoyed lunch with plenty of wine and plenty of laughter. We had the honor of meeting Al and seeing his...
We were among the very last passengers to debark the Ruby Princess so we had plenty of time for breakfast and last minute visits with other members of our group. And then once we were off the ship we had plenty of time to amuse ourselves while waiting for the...
Fun Day! First dance lesson was “Swing Aerobics” in which Arleene goes through the myriad footwork variations that can be incorporated into the swing basic or variations. Then we talked a bit about the history of the Lindy Hop and the dance community during the Harlem...
Things started a little slowly this morning. We didn’t have anything scheduled until early afternoon so we lingered over breakfast. Then we gathered in the Crooners Lounge on Deck Seven above the Piazza. There were about a dozen of us who debarked together but then...
St Thomas Virgin Islands was today’s port of call. Loren, Ed2, Jeff, Jean, and the two of us got a taxi to Blackbeard’s Castle. We climbed to the top of the lookout tower and admired the view, checked out statues of famous pirates,...
Our southernmost port of call. We docked at Philipsburg, Sint Maarten. Twelve of us hired a driver for the day and piled into his fifteen passenger van. We headed for the French side. Our first stop was Orient Beach for half an hour. Some shopped, some wandered north...
After missing out on Monday’s lesson we made sure we were on time for Tuesday’s dance lesson. Rhumba! We’ve danced it a bit. But then Arleene taught it a little differently this time. Some extra nuances. A few of us wanted to really get it and Arleene was willing to...
We hadn’t paid attention to the group schedule. Don’t ask us why. We just didn’t. So we were headed to breakfast when we saw Loren who asked if we were going to the dance lesson. We asked, “When?” He answered, “Now!” Well...
Up very early. Susan took us to catch the Escot Bus and saw us aboard. Discovered that we did not have any fellow Savoy at Sea travelers on our bus so it was a quiet trip. The party started slowly once we got onboard. Cell phone texts helped us locate some of our...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

After settling into our home for the week at HooDoo Point Campground on the shore of Vermillion Lake near Tower, Minnesota Monday, we drove the ten miles around Pike Bay to the Bois Forte Heritage Center today. It'd have been a two mile flight from our campsite if we...
A few days ago we made a reservation at Red Pine Campground in Saginaw, Minnesota, just west of Duluth, for tonight. This afternoon we pulled in, walked into the office, and discovered that they had no reservation in our name. Oops! We checked our email and discovered...
This is it! There was something about their write up on the Harvest Hosts website that really intrigued us and drew us to stay at Island View Lodge in the Wisconsin Northwoods near Mercer. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed by Erin and soon after befriended by...
