We left Boca Raton, FL at the end of the month. We stayed a couple of days in Titusville, a couple in St. Augustine, same in Hilton Head. Having WAY too much fun. Gas here in NC (wife wanted to see a miniature museum in High Point) is "only" 3.81!! We are getting about 8mpg @ 55. Generator is killing us (wife doesn't want the cats to get too hot :) ) as it runs and runs... dropping apparent mileage as low as 5.5mpg!
Is it worth it all at 4 bucks agallon? Of course!
We see few RVs on the road. We saw tons more last summer on our Texas trip. Parks have lots of room (we got a beautiful waterfront site in Hilton Head and pulled in nose first for a fantastic view) which isn't bad.
At 55 we have passed NOBODY! Trucks seem to be running 60mph. Probably could get better mileage drafting behind them, but driving 55 is really calming and stress-free. Remember that constant hold up to pass the self-appointed speed monitors and cellphone yackers? Speed up, slow down, get stuck behind someone and every inconsiderate person zooms up so you can't get around? Not a problem. I just stay in the slow lane and putt along. My Tom-Tom says we are running 55 when our speedo says 57... Unfortunately, it started saying the time is an hour too soon yesterday, so unless the Carolinas have moved East one time zone I trust it a bit less!
Get out here!!
Life is good here.
Accidently heard the news at Hardees yesterday. Yikes! Turn that noise off!
I think I don't need my blood pressure pills anymore. Gas prices aren't bothering us! Life is too short too stay home. Guy asked us where we are "going" and we said Michigan. He asked how long it takes and we said, "Ten days- so far." He about fell over. The guy at the resort at Hilton Head asked where we were going next when we checked in. We didn't have a clue. :) We hooked up wi-fi for the first time and found this miniatures place for the wife. She was in heaven (me, not so much). I guess it is about time we figure out where we are going tomorrow...
Can't wait for every day's new adventure.
(If y'all ever get to High Point NC, watch out! Seems every driveway has a new groove cut in by our trailer hitch ball bolt! Funny, we didn't drag anywhere else but today we drug and drug and...)
