Ah...these are great tips and I would love it if we could take our time like that! However, we only have two weeks and we are trying to make the most of it. The purpose of the trip is to visit my very elderly parents who live in a cottage in one of the RV Parks. They gave up full time RVing a year ago, but they loved this RV park so much after 17 years of snow birding there that they decided to buy a cottage and live there.
The negative factor in all of this is that neither me nor none of my siblings live anywhere close to Harlingen, and well, since dad is 90 and mom is 86 and has dementia, its a big concern that none of us can check in on them other than by phone. So, planning a two week long trip taking our trailer was the best we could do. Sort of frustrating knowing though that six of the fourteen days will be spent driving.
