We are back in Florida after our seven month adventure. We are getting settled in after a long trip that took us through ten states (some more than once) and almost five thousand miles. Another successful summer adventure. I know that I always say home is where we park it and that is usually the case. As I mentioned this trip south was going to be different. Hotels all the way from Bar Harbor to Zephyrhills with the Hampton Inn employee discount meant a full week of not staying in the RV. It just didn't feel like home.
Now that we are back at our winter location and also back in the RV it is home again, both in our home on wheels and near friends and family that make it feel like home.So home again it is, times two! Traveling without staying in the RV had it's challenges and we don't want to do it again. RVs are meant to be used or stored properly until the next trip. We did neither, therefore we had a few issues.
The house battery went dead and we lost most of the food in the refridgerator. Fortunately we weren't planning on eating in the RV and didn't have to throw away too much. The battery also operates everything in the RV when not plugged in or on a generator. We have a generator but that needs the battery to start so that had to be jumped before we could use it. We let the generator run while we were on the road to charge the battery but the damage was done. Lesson learned.
On top of all that we are welcomed back to Florida by Nicole. The hurricane season should be over by now but Mother Nature wanted to give us a big old Florida welcome with a late season hurricane. The storm wasn't too bad by the time it reached Zephyrhills but it was a good day to stay inside and just rest up from our travels.
Well I will sign off now from our home near those that make it feel like home because....
Home is where we park it,

Sorry to hear about the battery issues, but I hope you did enjoy your week in hotels along the way home to Florida. Glad to hear you made it here safely before Nicole decided to dump more rain and wind on us. See you both soon.
