We are having trouble finding an RV park in Southern Florida and the Keys. Parks are full and we were only able to find four days in one place in Marathon and "maybe" a week in Ft Lauderdale but they did not get back to us. The price of these tentative spots is around $40 - $45 per night.
We have decided to take the advice of our hosts and our son up in Canada. If we decide to explore the Keys after the Bahamas cruise we will accept Paul and Dodie's offer to keep the motorhome here and go south in the car. Brooks suggested Priceline to find reasonable rooms down there like he and Linda did in Hollywood, CA last summer where they got a four star hotel for $79 a night.
This will save us a ton of frustration trying to find RV parks and negotiating the heavy traffic of South Florida. It will also save us about $300 in gas for the motorhome.
Three star rooms in Key Largo and Key West are asking prices in the $150 range but we hope to use "The Negotiator" to get us something for $80 - $90. We will stay four or five nights.
Exciting plan during the month of June!

priceline.com is GREAT. I got a good room in Savannah for $39 a night when regular prices in that area were $200 plus a night! Also got a good deal in Vegas and Hollywood.
ReplyDeleteConsider Paul's offer as your own generosity being paid forward for letting me stay last winter!
I wanted to send a lengthy response to your post about Wisconsin, but it's too long to be accepted by the blog format. E-mail? No address listed. If you are interested, please send me a PM.

ReplyDeleteI would be interested. You could also post it as a comment in two pieces. Either way, I would appreciate hearing it.
