Saying goodbye to Florida for now

Once again, I have discovered that I’m very allergic to noseeums — the infamous Florida sand fly. Imagine your whole body covered with itching red welts, and you’ll get the idea of what I look like. That fact, plus some others, made us decide to cut our Florida adventure short and start driving back to Minnesota. We had known when we left Minneapolis this year, that we needed to remain fluid and flexible in our plans, so we were mentally prepared for making this change.

That said, it is still sad to leave . . . .  The coveted Florida Keys state park campsites are so hard to get — that’s why we were very happy to be able to transfer our 2-week upcoming reservation at Curry Hammockj State Park to another nice couple we met from Colorado. They were thrilled, and we will take pleasure from imagining them enjoying that beautiful park.

After packing up everything and saying goodbye to our camping neighbors, we headed out. We don’t know when we’ll be back to the Florida Keys, but we feel so fortunate to have had such an amazing month of motorhome adventures!

  1. So sorry that you needed to shorten your Florida trip. May your future travels be less bumpy and itchy.
