Day one

It’s hard to believe but this edition of the Dispatch starts the fourth year Millie and I have been roaming the highways and byways of our great country. Regular blog followers know we aren’t on the road full time, we divide our time between our home in Myrtle Beach and where ever the road takes us. In 2012 we took our longest trip to date circumnavigating the country, 2013 was our New England trip and in 2014 toured the Gulf coast from Florida to Mexico and then continued on thru the southwest.

We start every year with winter in Florida and this year is no exception. Today is day one of the 2015 tour and we drove 300 miles from Myrtle Beach South Carolina to Brunswick Georgia. We saw fuel prices rise in South Carolina from $1.99 to $2.19; we stopped for fuel in Georgia and were surprised to get it for $1.80 just south of Savannah.

Our RON (That’s an old military acronym, Remain Over Night) for today is the Golden Isles RV Park. It’s a discount park for us, $15 using our Coast to Coast membership. The park appears (IMHO) to be a quick stopping spot for I-95 travelers and temporary home for transient workers. It has all we need, a safe quiet place to park with electric service to plug into.

The girls are good, they always are a little anxious the day before departure when we are packing. They know we’re leaving and don’t want to be left behind so they stay close to us. Once in get in the motorhome they feel secure again and act accordingly. 

We’re 29 miles from Florida, tomorrow the adventure continues!
