RV Journey of John and Terri

Only 2 more days till we get to take the trailer out again. We will be camping for Halloween. This all came about because while we were camping at Disney our youngest son called us and surprised us. Our youngest son turns 18 on the 30 th of October and when he called he asked us what we were doing for his birthday. We told him nothing in particular. He then proceeded to ask us if we could go camping for his 18 Th birthday. Now I don't know about you but for an 18 year old son to want to go camping with his parents for his 18 Th birthday says a lot about what the boy likes to do. Grant it we are going with his girlfriend and her parents. We will be camping at Silver River State Park in Ocala . This happens to be one of our favorite state parks. We will be kayaking the Juniper Springs and the Silver Springs River while we are there. We will also be joined by Jeff and Becky who are a couple that hosts our bible study. They are outdoor people and have done several bac

Disney World, they say, is a magical place. Yes, it is unless it is in the mid 90's and there is people everywhere. We used the last of our seasonal passes on an extended weekend. It was nice to be able to camp and use our trailer at Fort Wilderness, but the time we spent in the parks was very HOT !!!

We did both of the shows there, Lion King and Finding Nemo . We both thought that Finding Nemo was the best show that we have seen at any of the Disney Parks. Of course we did all of the firework shows over the 4 nights we were there. Terri's favorite is Fantasmic , at Hollywood Studios and mine is the Illuminations at Epcot. Our last night we did the fir

First, let me say hello to all that are reading our blog. Thanks for taking time to join us and we hope that you will come along as we follow our dreams and adventures to becoming fulltime RV'ers. I sit here in Fort Wilderness Campground, drinking a cup of coffee, trying to gather all my thoughts. There is so much that I want to put down in this blog but yet I don't want to go running on and on. SO, let me start with the most important item. Terri, the love of my life, had a birthday on Oct 7th. This day may not seem very important to most, but to Terri and I, it is the official beginning of our quest to become fulltimers. We have long dreamed of traveling in an RV but on Oct 7th began our countdown to our target date. We have set the date as Terri's 50th birthday, Oct 2012. There is so much to learn and do between now and that date, but we look forward to it. There is a phrase that I have always believed in and that is: It's not the destination, it is the Jo
