Chilling in Bonita Springs… Well maybe not chilling…

We sure have been having a great time in the unseasonably warm (well maybe hot) weather here in Bonita Springs Florida. We have been enjoying the park, savoring our last few days with Katie and hitting the beach as often as possible. Katie will fly back home in a few days so we have one more beach excursion planned.  Upon her return Katie has a trip planned to the cold mountains of North Carolina so we sure hope she won't be too “weather shocked.”

Now that I have my Ebook, Budgeting for Full Time RV’er, published and behind me I can spend a little more time coming up with a year in review blog or at least a list of favorite campsites or places to see. As we are nearing the end of our second month here in Bonita Springs, Florida I have also started to think about future plans..

The only reservation we currently have is at Betty’s RV Park in Abbeville Louisiana. We will be there from February 19th to March 19th so obviously we are heading west for next season’s travels. We are hoping we don’t get too cold in Louisiana that early in February. We fear we may see our first days of under freezing temperatures during our stay there since we started RV’ing.

We also need to plan our 18 days of February travel prior to our arrival at Betty’s. We'll wait to finalize those plans until after we attend the Tampa RV show in early January. The last time we attended the RV show we ended up with several coupons for free and/or very inexpensive trial camping at several RV parks in Florida. In fact we had more than we could use! With the month of February being one of the priciest months in Florida these coupons would certainly mean large savings on daily rates as we head north and then west.

Between now and the Tampa show we happily have plenty to do in the sun and surf to keep us busy…

  1. We definitely need to coordinate our attendance at the Tampa RV show. Jeff and Tina are planning on driving up for it too.

  3. So nice to be able to celebrate the holidays with family. We had our son visit with us in Mexico one year. I have had heard many great things about Betty's RV Park so I am sure you will enjoy your time there. It is always fun planning a new adventure. :-)

    Happy New Year!

  4. Those beach pictures look wonderful. We would have loved for the Keys wind to have calmed down so we could have gone more than once while Carrie was with us. Sure would like to follow you around at the Tampa show to see how you get the campground deals. Looking forward to hearing about a month at Betty's. I've never heard from anyone staying that long.

  5. Always enjoy your posts! We want to spend winter in FL next year. Don't know if you have been to Cedar Key, FL, but we stayed there for a month last year and loved it. I think it will be on your route north in FL. Betty's is a blast. That will be a lot of happy hours!

  7. Sure looks like you've had beautiful weather -- much better than we've had in north Florida the past week. That collection of shells is pretty sweet, too. Wow, a month at Betty's! Looking forward to hearing about that! Happy 2016! :-)
