We had the pleasure of staying at a great RV resort this week.  Emerald Coast RV Beach Resort is a premier RV destination located in Panama City Beach, FL.  It is a beautiful gated park with both RV sites and park model homes.  It is a luxurious resort located on 25 beautiful acres.  There are two lakes surrounded by pull in sites and the park models.  They have all the amenities you would expect and more  including both salt and fresh water pools.  Premium sites are very spacious and include tropical landscaping with palm trees; brick paver roads, pads and patios; gas grill, outdoor seating and table with umbrella on sites.  The resort has a 10/10/10 Trailer Life and Good Sam rating and they deserve it.  Everyone was extremely friendly and we had a great time.

The best part of our stay was that we were only a mile from one of the most beautiful beaches in the United States!  Panama City Beach is a beautiful city located on the Gulf of Mexico coast. It is a very popular vacation destination with hotels, resorts, attractions and shopping along the beach.  The spotlessly clean beaches are dazzling with sugar-white sand and emerald green crystal clear water.  Anyone who loves the beach would love this beautiful location.

Well it’s time to raise the jacks, fire up the motorhome and head out of the sunny Florida Keys.  We have been here for three months but time has passed quickly.  The beautiful, warm “winter” weather has been great.  I can truthfully say we do not miss the cold harsh New York winters.

Both Dee and I have been busy.  Dee has been doing a lot of glass painting for our friends who own a wedding floral business.  I have been working with my friend who has been doing construction on one of the buildings he owns.  It almost seemed like I was no longer retired!

Even though we had a great time, we are ready to return to the nomadic lifestyle.  We will miss our friends and the Keys but we are looking forward to meandering around the mid and western states for the next 6 or 7 months.  Traveling around the country in a motorhome is a great lifestyle. There is just so much to see and do.

Once we leave the Keys we will be stopping for a few days near Tampa to get our annual motorhome maintenance work done.  Then we will head west.  As of right now we plan to return to the Keys next winter after spending the holidays up north.  In fact, we have already reserved the same spot at our present campground for next winter.
