So when we had our breakdown trip (to Waco) out of the way we headed for Orlando.
It was only 970 miles. In about three days we pulled into the KOA in Orlando. The trip to Florida was all new to us and exciting. We were like a couple of kids going to Disney World. We also had Epcot to visit. We enjoyed Epcot a lot.
We spent several days at Orlando. We were to come back in a few years and do a thorough job.
We headed for Titusville and the Kennedy Space Center. Took the tour. This was 28 years ago.
We were terribly saddened and effected. We were fans of Christa McAuliffe. .
We drove on and made camp in Miami. We did not visit around Miami at all The reputation for crime in the area scared us off. We took a ride to Key West. We had some Key Lime Pie, saw the home of Ernest Hemingway, and touched the very most SE corner of the United States.
From Miami we drove East across the Everglades on Alligator Alley. Some scenery.
That is not Jackie or I with that huge alligator.
In Tampa we had trouble with our fifth wheel lifting and leveling jacks. We drove straight without unhooking to our trailer dealer in Houston to get them repaired.
I would say that this trip to Florida was very productive in memory building. After we had joined Thousand Trails (a camping club) we returned to Florida and stayed longer.
