My sister’s birthday today – Happy Birthday Julie! We partake in the regular morning routine of Steve and Pat – Pat and Christy go to her gym for yoga, I go with Steve to LA Fitness for a swim, all by bikes. It’s a nice system they have here – neither of us will drive…

Up early, workout, swim, coffee. Pack the car and get ready to roll. Got about 3 hours to go to hit the Coral Castle and then on to Delray Beach. Liked it here tho, even our quirky little Coconut Cove hotel. 2 hours later we’re at the Coral Castle which is pretty interesting, a little…

I’m up early, do a workout in the large, dated but functional exercise room. Two days here I never see anyone else in it. Just me and the cats about (there is at least 5 of them at the place) as I go for a dip in the pool afterwards and walk around the place,…

Nice day, we’re up and moving nowhere near early enough for my taste but probably just about perfect for Christy. I have lotsa time so dig out the camp stove and make coffee in the room (I now have experience with all hotel coffee makers and I know the one in this room won’t cooperate),…

Hey it’s 22-11-22! I notice these things. Another grey but mild day. Checkout time is 10 am but we take our time until 10:45 or so – we’re taking Liz to the airport as it’s on the way and she has a late flight. No need to drop her off 5 hours early. Drive to…

OK I dropped the Day Number X format, couldn’t remember anymore. I’m up first to do a bit of a workout but the village exercise room is claustrophobic for the style I do especially with two people already there. Junior washing the pool deck declines my request to take one of the yoga mats outside.…

Lots to do this morning so I’m up early. First thing on the list is try and rearrange the car. Somehow we have to get 4 of us and all our gear in there for the ride to Palm Beach. We are taking Liz and Joy with us for a day or two of wind…

The pitter patter sound of rain drops wakes me at 4:30 am and so I jump up to get the packing done before the deluge. It is no fun packing up a wet tent. Turns out it was a bit of a teaser as the sky is just overcast, no real rain yet. Still, I…

I knew it was cold last night and I thought well below freezing but wasn’t sure until I looked in my pot that I left on the picnic table. Sun is rising but still below zero so I decide to walk the park trails to see the only sights that are open after the hurricane.…

I’m up reasonably early as the ground is hard. Another grey day quite cool in the morning so good for travelling at least. A lady RV camper pulls up as I am packing up and says “Aren’t y’all freezin?”. Well, yes but it is warm in the tent. We talk about the area, she used…
