My Travel Diary
Our route since leaving Roanoke in March 2018 has been - well, interesting! Lots of miles, for sure, but so many interesting things along the way. This map ends in Pensacola, Florida. We have accepted a "camp host" job there for the winter season (October 2019 through March 2020). Our duties are doable (20 hours per week on average) at the Playa Del Rio RV Park - we stayed for two weeks last December and LOVED it. Gulf of Mexico on one side and the Old River Bay on the other, this self-described "boutique" resort has all the amenities we would want and we don't have to shovel snow!

The map starts and ends in Floyd, Virginia, a small town just south of Roanoke, before taking the final stretch to Florida. If you are interested in our winter "getaway", go to www.playadelrio.com to see what the location looks like. Pictures here are from our visit in December 2018.
