Our time in Florida and heading north

Time for a short update.

12/20/2025 – We spent Christmas at our friends property in Wellington near West Palm Beach. It was nice and quiet and we enjoyed it a lot. 

12/28/2025 – Headed to Wauchula, Fl and stayed at Thousand Trails Peace River Campground. Most of our time we hung out at our site. We did some Laundry and basic maintenance on our home.

1/4/2026  – Next stop was Orlando RV Resort. Here we spent 2 weeks. The weather was OK and we used the Pool and Hot Tub a couple of times. Also, we drove to Tampa to visit one of the largest RV Shows in the US. We  explored lots of the new Class A Motorhomes and came to the conclusion to invest some money and effort to “renovate” our current one. We  were pretty much disappointed in the quality, layout and payload capacity. The new RV’s are equipped with features (gadgets) that we would never use or the layout is for “Weekend Warriors” or 2week trips and would  not  work for us.  The  payload  capacity of  some  of these motorhomes is  less than 1500 pounds, whereas ours has 4400 pounds!!! 

01/18/2026 – Back  to Wellington for a  week.

1/25/2026 – Started out trek north and stopped for one week at Sunshine Holiday Daytona. Here, the weather was on the cold side with mid twenties at night, so we spent  most days  around our campsite. Still a very relaxing stay.

2/1/2026  – Two nights at Casey Jones RV Park in Lake City. Nice campground close  to I 75 (very little noise intrusion). Went into  Lake City to explore and do some  Grocery shopping.

2/3/2026 – Eastbank Campground near Bainbridge, GA.  This is a nice COE campground at a lake. Very quiet and in the middle of nowhere.We  visited the Capitol of FL in Tallahassee on Thursday. We have been there before, about 20 years ago. On 2/6 we met with Chris and Kelly, who are camp hosting in the Destin area. We have not seen them for over a year and it was nice to catch up on all things. We will be here until 2/10.

Until next update,

Maria and Bernhard
