MH trip to Keys & New Orlean lessons

Here are just a couple of comments and observations from our recent trip.
1) Love bugs can cause real damage to a mh front. $2,000
2) Gas stations in the Keys are not mh friendly.
3) Venture Out in Cudjoe Key is not dog friendly even though they tell you they are.
4) The beaches in the Keys stink. All of them! Due to seaweed. Some were even trashed with litter. You pay to enter all of them also.
5) Key West is a tourist trap. You pay dearly for a parking spot for your vehicle.
6) Sloppy Joes has the best margaritas.
7) Mel Fisher museum and Hemmingway house were great.
8) Car manufacturers can save money by eliminating blinkers since very few people use them.
9) States should recycle speed limit signs since very few pay any attention to them.
10) New Orleans stinks literally! Graphiti everywhere. Everyone after your dollar. Will never go back there!
11) Pat Obriens in the Quarter has great Hurricanes.
Overall a good 3 week trip but now can say been there done that.

  • I went to the Keys for the LAST time back in the 90's. It was basically the same then.
    The Hurricane drink at Pat Obrians used to allow you to keep the glass.
    Some people, me included, find that putting a light coat of Vasaline on the front end of the coach helps. Even then you can't leave the bugs stay on the front end too long. Others have sprayed the front end with the no-stick baking PAM. I have not tried that so can't comment on it's use.
  • you need to expand on items 3 and 10. we're planning a quick stop in NOLA to see the WWII museum this winter on our way out west.
