Where Are We Going?

Where are we going to spend the winter?

We have been talking about this for a while. We have officially traveled every State in Mexico and have spent five of the last six winters there. We love Mexico and it's people, we love the food and we love meeting other Mexican RV'ers. But...

We spent the winter of 2010/11 in the southern US States and loved it there as well. We developed a taste for southern hospitality and food and have a longing to go back. The weather is cooler, there is no doubt about that. I looked back in my Blog and read about many days where I talked of having both electric heaters on all night. I remember frost on the ground in Galveston, Texas at Christmas.

I also remember the great shrimp and oysters eaten in waterfront restaurants and meeting many travelers from Canada. The fun Happy Hours and shared meals and last but not least, finally finding warm weather in south Florida.

So we have decided to explore the Gulf Coast one more time this winter. We will head to Yuma, as we usually do, and then head east to Texas' Rio Grande Valley for a week or two before following the coast to who knows where?

As usual, we will make up our route as we go so it will be a surprise to us as well as to you. I emailed our Florida friends Paul and Dodi and they are going to be around, although maybe not in the same house. They have a pending sale for their property and if they sell they are going to move to an RV co-op on the Gulf Coast near Sarasota, FL where they have bought a spot and say they should be able to find us a spot to rent there for a month. We always enjoy our time with them so maybe we will make it that far.

On the way home, we will cross the country as far north as the weather allows. We have no idea where that will be but that is how we like to travel.

Tag along with us. It will be fun! Oyster Po' Boys, Gulf Shrimp, Etouffee, Baguettes, Waffle House breakfasts.....
