2016 RV Adventures - Part 1

June 8th in Southwest Florida. With temperature and humidity on the rise, and rainy season about to begin, it's time to hitch up the Shuttlecraft and get out of Dodge. Will this year's RV travels be as bumpy as in past years, or have we finally paid enough dues (literally, as well as figuratively) to have at last earned a season of smooth sailing? Let's find out...

We'd be heading to Janet's bagpipe camp in Valle Crucis, North Carolina, so we decided to start our trip by go up the east coast of Florida. We went to Juno Beach and then Flagler Beach. After leaving Florida, we proceeded to Jekyll Island, Georgia (birthplace of the U.S. Federal Reserve), where we enjoyed bike riding along the island's extensive paths. After that, it was on to one of our favorite towns, Savannah, Georgia. We camped at Skidaway Island State Park, a 20-minute drive from the heart of downtown.

Next was an exciting return to Wilmington, North Carolina, where I lived before I moved to Fort Myers. It was great visiting friends and going back to my old stomping grounds.
