Three nights in Palm Harbor/Dunedin, FL–Florida in January trip
We were in Palm Harbor in January 2022 as part of our Florida in January trip. From Venice, it’s a two hour drive up to the Dunedin/Palm Harbor area, just north of Clearwater and northwest of Tampa. The shortest route includes the bonkers Skyway bridge, which was scary to pull the Airstream over on a windy…

Two nights in Venice, FL–Florida in January trip
We were in Venice in January 2022, as part of our Florida in January trip. From Fort Myers Beach we drove an hour and a half north to Venice, a seaside city with beaches, a canal (hence the name), and a cute little downtown strip. Venice seemed like an ok town–nice enough but didn’t grab…

Two nights in Fort Myers Beach, FL–Florida in January trip
We were in Fort Myers Beach in January 2022 as part of our Florida in January trip. Here’s a tip for planning an RV trip to Florida in the winter: book your campgrounds as soon as they start taking reservations for your dates. Many of the popular campgrounds fill up a year in advance! When we…

Everglades National Park
We spent two days in the Everglades in January 2022, during our Florida in January trip. The drive from Key West to Everglades National Park was about three hours, but we broke it up with an early stop at Baby’s Coffee for coffee and a pizza bagel. The coffee is good and the pizza bagels…

A week in Key West, FL–Florida in January trip
We were in Key West in January 2022, as part of our Florida in January trip. Our week in Key West might be the longest we’ve ever camped in one place, other than when we lived in the Airstream for six months. We figured we should stay awhile since it’s so far away, and because…

One night in Juno Beach, FL–Florida in January trip
We were in Juno Beach in January 2022 as part of our Florida in January trip. After leaving Atlanta, we were in a rush to get to Key West, over twelve hours away. We decided to suck it up and have one loooong day of driving and one more sane driving day… so this was…

Two nights in Atlanta, GA (visit #6)–Florida in January trip
We were in Atlanta in January 2021 as part of our Florida in January trip. Atlanta was the second stop on our Florida trip, an easy (well, depending on Atlanta traffic) 3.5-hour drive from Asheville. I’m always unsure if I should include our Atlanta visits here (see the not super-detailed write-ups for visit #1 and…

One night in Asheville, NC (visit #11)–Florida in January trip
We were in Asheville in December 2021 as part of our Florida in January trip. Read about our many Asheville visits here. Blah blah blah Asheville. I know, you’re bored, but we were heading south on our Florida odyssey, so of course we stopped in Asheville. Also, Interstate 85 between Charlotte and Greenville is a…

Trip planning: Florida in January
Are we officially snowbirds? Wikipedia’s definition includes us: “A snowbird is a person who migrates from the colder northern parts of North America to warmer southern locales, typically during the winter… A significant portion of the snowbird community is made up of recreational vehicle users (RVers).” So then yes, we’re happily snowbirds, leaving gloomy Virginia in gloomy January for…

One night in Lake Lure, NC–Quickie Fall Loop
We visited Lake Lure in November 2021, as part of our quickie fall loop from Erwin, TN to Asheville to Lake Lure. Lake Lure is a tiny town with a pretty recreational lake nestled in the mountains less than an hour from Asheville. There’s not much to the town that isn’t lake-related, so in the off-season,…
