A long driving day, made easy by some extra company and a local travel guide in the R.V. Because of the long drive, we set off early from Lion Safari in West Palm Beach and dropped straight onto the turnpike heading south towards the sun. On the way down we stopped off to pick up Kristin my sister-in-law from her house in Fort Lauderdale as little brother Justin was on a work 'jolly' in Utah. Having swerved by the Moore mansion for a quick pit stop, it was on to Publix supermarket to stock up on the essentials for a Moore brothers weekend away...Peroni, Peroni, Peroni, crisps, chocolate biscuits, barby food and a small bottle of red wine for the ladies! Back on the turnpike it was time to avoid Miami and hit the US1 for ... read more

A leisurely day today as we moved further south down the east coast on our journey towards the southernmost point of the USA in Key West. After a nice lie in till 8-30 in the sweatbox, a breakfast of bacon rolls and coffee set us up for the day. Detaching all life support this time was a challenge as the heavens had opened...and when it rains in Florida, it really rains! Not wanting to be unplugging 50 amps of electricity whilst standing in a puddle with the rain falling we delayed our departure for half an hour until it had eased off to 'slightly spitting'. The plan today was to hit the road and stay away from all main roads in the 200 mile drive south. Sadly the A1A is not quite as scenic or scary ... read more

Being up early thanks to the ducks and the heat meant we got the chance to spend a full day exploring St.Augustine, probably the closest thing the USA has to a truly historic city that can trace its origins back to the 16th century.From the entrance to the KOA we were able to pick up the shuttle from the Old Town Trolley Tours straight into the centre of town, thankfully saving the hassle of trying to park the beast somewhere in the middle of the narrow streets. Whilst waiting for the shuttle at the junction outside the camp, we watched a truck take the traffic lights too fast and deposit a leather three piece suite across the major junction. The guy inside just reversed back into the middle of the busy crossroads, chucked the suite back ... read more

Day 2 started early, not because of the hooting water taxis on the waterways through the night or the sound of the jet turbine powered jet washer cleaning the sunbeds and deck outside of our window but because our bodies were still on UK time.Skipping breakfast with 'excitement' we boarded another (free) Disney Magical Express bus to Animal Kingdom. Although you can (and I do) knock the Disney experience, it is impressive that the transportation is all free wherever you go ( no need for passes or anything) , there is free wifi wherever u go, there are free apps to show you ride wait times, nearest toilets, nearest fagzones, nearest restaurants etc. etc. You can pay for pretty much anything in any park or restaurant on your hotel room card and if you do buy ... read more

Day 25 - Day by the Del Pool, Distance travelled - less than a mile up the beach and back! It was a really quiet day today and our last day in San Diego before heading back to LA in the morning, so nothing at all to really interest or excite anyone over your morning coffee, rice crispies, baby feeding or dog walking. The hotel is suddenly very quiet even with the latest batch of conferences underway and even the skies seem quieter with only a few flights in and out throughout the day, maybe we just arrived in the middle of a massive naval exercise last week. We spent our last day lazing by the pool and I joined my new drinking buddy from North Cheam to watch the QPR vs West Ham game in ... read more
