Hi everyone,
My wife and I are a couple of active retired Brits planning a 2 or 3 week RV tour after we get of a cruise ship next fall.
I'm having to start planning already because we want to get early booking benefits for the flights and the RV rental - seems mad to be planning so early, but part of the fun is in the planning......
We've RV'd in Alaska and Canada, but are new to the south. So I'm looking for tips on the best places to visit.
We'll pick up the RV in Fort Lauderdale in late October and plan for a 2 or 3 week trip ending in Washington DC or Philadelphia.
I need to work out the length of trip so I can book the flights in a few weeks time when they come available.
So where do we start? It's tempting to think that we should visit one / some of the big Florida attractions just because we are there - but we did LA Disney with the kids umpteen years ago. I know there's more than that..... We want to drive down to Key West at the start just because we've heard / read so much about the Keys. After that we're looking for ideas. We don't want to drive every day - it's good to get somewhere and linger a while to see the area. We like scenery, water, a hike sometimes (beach or scenic), meeting people, an occasional theatre visit (just put that in to make us sound intelligent....) and getting the feel of places. Not too bothered about spending time in big cities, but we will, of course need to schedule a couple of days in Washington DC at the end.
So where do I start research? I tried a couple of searches in this forum but didn't come up with much - maybe I didn't ask the right question.
If anyone has any thoughts, suggestions, links to information, tips for must-see places, we'd love to hear from you.
Many thanks
