Lorsque nous avons visité notre première épicerie à Daytona Beach, vous auriez dû nous voir à quel point nous étions excités par tous les produits en vente.

I opted to start this blog to see how it worked in the anticipation of finally retiring and taking off for full-timing in our RV. I needed a chance to practice and see how family and friends were able to do accessing the blog and following our adventures. This is our first attempt as we are about to embark on a long awaited vacation.
