Florida in January: Retrospective
We were in Florida from 1/2 to 2/2/2022. It seems obvious, but: spending January in a warm place is a great idea. We weren’t sure if we’d like spending so much time in Florida, and while we didn’t love all of the Florida we saw, we did love some and would return to a few…

Three, no, two nights in Ormond Beach, FL–Florida in January trip
We were in Ormond Beach in January 2022 as part of our Florida in January trip. Most of our Florida trip was planned out way in advance, by necessity: many popular campgrounds and state parks get booked up as soon as the campsites are reservable, a year or eleven months in advance. So we booked what we…

Two days in Gainesville, FL–Florida in January trip
We were in Gainesville in January 2022 as part of our Florida in January trip. The drive from Bronson to Gainesville is under an hour, but we were slower due to a stop in Williston for new Airstream batteries to tide us over until we can replace the entire battery/converter system in April. Remember how our converter…

Two nights in Homosassa, FL–Florida in January trip
We were in Homosassa Springs in January 2022 as part of our Florida in January trip. Spoiler: FINALLY WE SAW MANATEES AND IT WAS GLORIOUS!!! In our original route-planning, we were shooting for a stay in Crystal River, just north of Homosassa, but couldn’t get a campsite there. Both towns are wintertime manatee meccas as the…

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.

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…
