Maritimers driving to Florida

For the first 4 yrs, we stayed in campgrounds; then switched to hotels because ..... open campgrounds are few; after a day on the road, we didn't like waiting 30 minutes for the RV to warm up; setting up and breaking down campsites in 30 degree temps wasn't fun; paying full fare for a limited facilities seemed silly. We now stay in a hotel with an indoor pool; nice area for RV parking; a steak house nearby; and a 24-hour Mickey D's next door if we want to leave before the hotel's free breakfast is ready. We bring in a small overnight bag, and lock up the RV. It costs us about $50 more, and we think the convenience is worth it. Second night we found the same facilities (without the in-door pool) for only $50/night, which is only $10 more than a campground. Camp on!

We are Canadians (obviously) from the Canadian Maritime provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Come on over for a visit sometime. You won't regret it.

You forgot Newfoundland there bye,

Canada's most friendly and gracious provinces!!

Friends from New England leave early in the morning and put as many miles on the road that they can the first day. Stay somewhere the first night (I know, not helpful) not too long, then drive some more. By late afternoon the second day, they are further south where they can find open campgrounds. Be advised, though, in Jan. & Feb. you can run into freezing temps. and some snow all the way down to mid-Florida.
