Life is for living. If any of our kids move close enough to us I'll buy one for them and let them do the work and I'll just have the fun.

Let's see - changed our summer plans? How about changed a lot of plans? We were supposed to be in Dubai for a while this spring. Then in Africa. Cancelled those plans. Booked a cruise just to get out of dodge. Cancelled that cruise. Had a "election avoidance" trip planned for all of October; Italy, Greece, Turkey, Israel, Cyprus, Spain, and more, plus a transatlantic cruise back to the USA. Cancelled. Having been RV'ers for many years we decided to buy a new motorhome and hit the road in the USA, and get to see the kids in California without flying. If anything goes crazy with Covid-19 we have our own bed, kitchen, and bath.

Thanks so much for this local Florida travel site. I’ve now marked it as a favorite.
