Hi all,
We posted a few months ago about our intended 6 month RV tour of America. We are a family from Ireland, mum, dad and 3 kids. I have forgotten our original login details hence the new user name.
Our adventure begins on 31st January and we have hired an RV for the period of travel. We start in Florida. What we really want to experience is nature, countryside, scenery, walks, lakes, mountains, beaches etc. We are not at all interested in big cities, touristy areas and paying a lot of money for anything at all.
Having looked into Florida I am under the impression that we best avoid the east coast where the prices for RV parks all seem a lot higher, and the areas seem generally more touristy. I am thinking of sticking to the west coast of florida, and heading up into the gulf coast area. Does anyone have any hints of tips for me about this?
We have never even been in an RV before, let alone driven one on the wrong side of the road, so Im sure it will be an enlightening first few days for us! But we have 6 months to get used to it. We have a passport america membership and want to stay in as cheap places as possible, enjoying the areas nearby rather than the actual RV resorts. We plan to cook all our own food, rarely eating out, and are trying to keep the costs as low as is possible for such a huge trip.
We are keeping a family blog of our trip if any of you should like to visit it from time to time. I'm sure I will be back to this forum looking for more advise! http://freerangetravels.blogspot.com/
I look forward to any replies we receive. Any advice or tips will be welcome We are ever so excited and a tad nervous. Have any of you stayed anywhere near the everglades?
