It was a day of varied activities. We purchased an ebook on minimalism which prompted a decision to clean out our utility drawer. UPS delivered a package containing our replacement license tag holder and Steve installed that. We headed out to the beach for a while...
The weather this afternoon has been perfect for shorts and sandals and a trip to the beach where we felt like the lyrics of Knee Deep, the Zac Brown song, "Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair." Totally relaxing!
In the spirit of "home is where we park it", we are home. We have the basics: food, clothing, and shelter and a nearby Publix for replenishing the food supply and a laundry room in the park for keeping the clothing fresh. The awning gives us privacy and a pleasant...
Today we moved to a new site, got set up complete with awning, rugs, tables and chairs right where one of the campground staff showed us. While Steve was grilling our dinner, we gave a tour of the T@B. Then as we were sitting down to eat, another member of the...
Today didn't start out so pretty. Our phones awakened us at 4:21AM with a tornado warning. It didn't take us long to decide to take shelter. We joined another couple and their dog in the ladies room until the storm abated. Later this morning we called NC DMV about...
Manatee Hammock is a pleasant little county park campground between Highway A1A and the Indian River! When we called yesterday looking for a campsite, all they had available was one site for tonight and tomorrow. We reserved it! When we registered today, we...
We found a spot for tonight! Moss Park southeast of Orlando International. In our first half hour here we had a Sandhill Crane and a White-tailed Deer meander past our campsite. Later while we were munching on chips both came quite near hoping for handouts. Overhead...
Actually this bridge over Old Tampa Bay is the W. Howard Frankland Bridge named after the Florida businessman who proposed it's construction and who participated in it's 1960 dedication. Then it was a four lane two-way span. By the time we were learning to drive,...

The Zulu make up a large portion of the South African population and have a culture all their own. Today we traveled from the Port of Durban on the east coast of Africa to the Valley of a Thousand Hills to learn a bit about their traditional lifestyle.
The island nation of Mauritius was unfamiliar to us before we started planning this trip but today we got a wonderful introduction to this volcanic island that’s been peopled for less than 400 years. We drove past sugar cane fields and tea plantations, visited a vanilla farm, and savored a delicious Mauritian lunch while soaking up all sorts of information about the geology, history, and economy of this tiny country.
