Our Latest Travel Posts
Here is a complete look at some of our favorite stops, itineraries, resorts, and more.
Chautauqua Lake KOA
Overall, Chautauqua Lake KOA is ideal for families and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a clean, activity-rich campground, but may require flexibility regarding customer service and site preference
Past Itineraries
I have flushed out our itineraries with RV park reviews, attractions, nearby restaurants, and our favorite sites.
MORryde IS Upgrade
Five plus years of OEM suspension on our Open Range Roamer tested every inch of that RV. Many times described as an earthquake happening on wheels, we can attest to that. We took painstaking efforts to tie down, brace, or lock in items we thought would be displaced. Trip after trip we would find something ajar, broken, or lying on the floor. My first fix on the old rig was to replace the suspension with the MORryde SRE 4000 suspension system. That helped a bit but I knew there was another answer.
DC Move In
The primary reason we purchased the RV was to visit with family. The secondary reason is to be on call when we are needed. We were needed in Ft. Belvoir, VA to help with a move to a new Military assignment for our Son-In-Law, Daughter, and grandson. It had been some time since we visited the east coast. We lived in NYC for several years during our working days. We knew this was not going to be a budget visit, nor would it be a pleasure to drive in our 35″ Grand Design Solitude 310GK-R in that traffic.
Carolina On My Mind
There is nothing like a ride through the Carolina pines in the spring. We love the Smokie Mountains, Blue Ridge Parkway, and the shores of North Myrtle Beach. Our good friends in Atlanta have been wanting for us to join them in the North Georgia mountains near Ellijay. The pandemic slowed that to a halt as of last March. Now that we are all fully vaccinated we are looking forward to getting together in the coming weeks.
The itinerary will take us down to Ellijay, GA then south to Augusta. We will then head northeast to North Myrtle Beach, spend the week and then head back to the Smokie Mountains near Pisgah, NC. We can’t wait to get back on the road and off to some of our favorite places to visit. Here is a rundown of the parks we will be visiting. Some of them have been old standby’s, others will offer a new adventure.
Vegas Slow Go
It was an all hands on deck moment. We had to get to Vegas. Ginny’s mon was in the hospital there and was not doing well. After a week and a half of tests, prods, and pokes, they were going to release her. It was going to be imperative for us to be there to help with home care. We both had concerns about COVID and travel. We have been living in QPI, quiet, peaceful, isolation. I will do my best to give you a snapshot of precautions and COVID protocols at each RV Park.
Gold Star RV Resorts
These RV parks met or exceeded our expectations based on our style of camping. If your style demands, friendly staff, great facilities, level sites, superior infrastructure including power and wi-fi these are for you,
New Bern KOA
Sometimes you just pick a winner. We have stayed at a number of KOA during our travels. This location by far has been the best on any we have stayed at. Shortly before our arrival and prior to me booking this location we got a notice from KOA that this was the KOA 2019 Campground of the Year. Our first reaction was, this should be interesting, what are the makings of Campground of the Year? I hope my notes below can begin to explain why this campground got a well-deserved award. Let’s walk it down.
Oasis Las Vegas RV Resort
As they say in their information, “An Ideal location minutes from the famous Las Vegas strip”. This was our second stay, we had a weekly rate which is the best value. This is in my mind a vacation location, you could never leave the park and be happy.
Traveler World RV Resort
If you are ever near or plan a trip to Texas, San Antonio is a must stop. This RV Park Is a MUST STAY !!!! When we pulled into this location around 1pm, there where about 7 RV’s in the waiting Q to check in.
Travel Gallery
This year’s travels took us back to some of our favorite places and a few new ones, too. We kicked things off at North Myrtle Beach, one of our all-time favorite Atlantic Coast spots. Staying at the North Myrtle Beach RV Resort and Marina gave us the perfect mix of beach time, and laid-back coastal living.
From there, we headed south for a month-long stay near Tampa and St. Pete, where the sunshine, friendly folks, and Gulf Coast charm reminded us why we love Florida winters so much. Later in the year, we made our way to Elkhart, Indiana, and then up to western New York just in time to catch the brilliant fall foliage—a beautiful way to wrap up another great travel season on the road.
Can’t wait to see where the road takes us next! 🚐🌴🍂
