Apr 21, 2012 - Palm Coast....I think

After four days of non-stop get ready, we left at our scheduled time of ten this morning... OK, maybe it was closer to 12:45, but we are on our way. North on I-95 with weather threatening...we were hoping we could make it to Daytona before it rained, but we did even better. Didn't make our target of the Florida Welcome Center north of Jax, but made 200 miles. Pat, I mean Ivory had to post grades so we decided to stop at a rest center for the night. We've already met the MH owners on either side of us who are also planning to spend the...

Dec 26, 2011 - Out for Dinner "Atlantic Grille"

We took Steve and Sarah out for a great dinner right on the beach not to far from where they live. It was a beautiful location and we could see the beach while enjoying our dinner. The Atlantic Grille, has sweeping ocean views and a lively south Florida design. It features contemporary world cuisine with an emphasis on fresh seafood. This unique ocean front restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Dec 25, 2011 - Merry Christmas

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. We sure did. Everyone must have been really good as we all got what we wanted. Steve got his bracket for his steering wheel for his Video Game and P9OX an extreme exercise program. Sarah got her Kindle Fire, Tom got some ARRL clothes and a new pair of sunglasses, and Debbie got a Kindle Fire also, and a wonderful calendar that Steve and Sarah had personally made for us with photos of us and things dear to our hearts. I was so excited. To top off the day we had a wonderful dinner of Turkey (Steak for...

Dec 24, 2011 - Steve and Sarah

Steve and Sarah made it safely back to Florida after attending a funeral for Sarah step-dad Tom in Pittsburgh. We got together for a wonderful visit at their home in Palm Coast and enjoyed a great dinner of goulash and salad. Got to see our grand cats Lucy and Scout also.

Apr 22, 2011 - Merritt Island/Christmas, FL/Dixie Crossroads

Today since Sarah has to work Tom, Steve and Debbie will be visitng Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge that was established in 1963 as an overlay of NASA’s John F. Kennedy Space Center. After this we went to Christmas, Florida where Tom and Steve took a long walk and found lots of Aligators. After that we enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Dixie Crossroads well known for their Rock Shrimp.

Apr 17, 2011 - Palm Coast, Fl

Okay, now we were up before the rooster crows! We had a wake up call for 5 am, so that we could shower and grab our last meal onboard before we walked the plank at 6:20 am. Wtf? We both woke up at 3 am, and couldn’t get back to sleep. The sun was not even up yet in Fort Lauderdale when we caught our taxi to the hotel where our bikes were. Anyhow, we finally loaded up our bikes and drove off down the road, heading North. We stopped for coffee around 8 am, and it felt like we had been on the road for hours. We rode on Hwy 1, passing through...

Apr 16, 2011 - To Steve we Go!

This afternoon we left Tampa heading to Palm Coast to spend the week with our son Steve and his girlfriend Sarah. They are renting a house there in a wonderful neighborhood. We met them in Flagler Beach, FL for a wonderful dinner at the "Flagler Fish Company". After dinner we followed them up the coast to see their home. We spent a wonderful evening with them and then back to the motorhome we went. We will meet up with them again tomorrow and then in the evenings for the week.

Mar 21, 2011 - Tallahassee FL to Palm Coast FL

Hit the fitness machines early but it slowed down from there. Finally got going at the crack of 10 and cruised the suburbs on our way out of town. There were some really expensive and perfectly manicured houses and gardens here. we supect due to the nice weather and semi humid conditions of the summer. Off the side of the road was a wildlife sanctuary and a lighthouse on the coast. Drove into the park and paid the $5 honourary park fee and cruised down to the coast. The wildlife was a bit thin on the ground although the waterbirds were...

Dec 20, 2010 - Palm Coast, Florida

12/20 – 12/22 The next stop was Palm Coast, Florida; 135 miles south on I-95. Our campground was Norman (Joan’s cousin) and Sue’s driveway. Norman took us to an interesting “music store” in Crescent City. Along with a large quantity of new guitars they sold all manner of junk. We thank Norm and Sue for their hospitality.

Nov 11, 2008 - Finally Florida

The anchorage at Cane Patch Creek proved to be the right tonic for a couple of weary travelers. Overnight adventures tend to take a lot of the energy out of the human players and we were between the covers right after sunset. The engineering plant never missed a beat and at 40 Nm off the coast in the middle of the night, it is reassuring indeed, that the single main engine keeps you trucking along. On Sunday we were up and underway by 0630. The weather was so nice that happening upon St Catherine's Inlet, we opted for another spell on the...

Mar 22, 2008 - FL, Palm Coast Black Indigo Snake Wow!!

I have been over at the beach house since December 28th living in the trailer to see what I need and don't need for the trip. I also took a 9-week course on Photoshop CS3 at Flagler Palm Coast High School. It was the hardest course that I had ever taken in my life, but also, the most fun. The school has a computer lab with the new Apple 24 Inch Monitors. It was like sitting at the Drive In Theater. Try to spend at least two hours a day in Photoshop. Opened the blinds yesterday so that I could open the window and let some air in while I was...

Mar 12, 2008 - Palm Coast, Florida

3/12 – 3/17 On the 12th we returned our rental car, bought groceries and finished unpacking. The next day we drove 20 miles to Norman and Sue Poleski’s house in Palm Coast. There we collected our mail, caught up on bills, added photos to our web site, rested and visited with Norman and Sue.
