The story began with a 5-week journey in a 1997 RV, from Richmond, Va to Utah and back, July 23 through August 27, 2011. The next step included the sale of that RV and the purchase of a larger, classier RV we call Princess. Now we have changed RVs again. We sold the Princess to a family of 5, and purchased a 2017 Class C, smaller than the Princess but some better features as well as some limitations storage wise. And so our adventures continue.

One More Kayak Adventure in the Keys
We took advantage of sunshine and light winds to go kayaking today for 3 hours through mangroves and among lots of waterfront homes. At one location we saw at least 10 iguanas, big and small. We also saw some houses that still need repair after the hurricane more than 2 years ago, and some empty lots where a house was completely wiped out by that hurricane. Most of the homes have been restored or rebuilt, and we saw a lot of very new boats, guessing that the hurricane also destroyed many boats in the area. It was an interesting trip for us, but we probably got too much time in the sun. Thankfully we went out to eat at Jimmy Johnson's Big Chill bar, where we enjoyed shrimp and wings with half price drinks. At the bar, we met up with Robin and Ron, a couple from Michigan who are full time RVers and based out of Pensacola now. It was fun chatting with them.
