Savannah Georgia





 After a great nights rest in St. Augustine we arrived in Savannah late morning.  Bryan drove around trying to find some shade so we could check out the local parks in the area.  The weather was much cooler and with our vents both going and in shade we knew both animals would be fine.  We probably walked at least 5 miles going through all the different historic parks that Savannah had to offer.  We both immediately fell in love with this place.  After some walking we decided we were thirsty and stoppped at a well known local dive bar.  We were greeted by some locals and they gave us many suggestions.  That night we were both hankering for a burger, so as the local bartender suggested we hopped in the van and headed out.  We found the place, but it seemed more like a local party than a restaurant/bar.Bryan got out and checked it out and we were in the wrong spot.  We finally found the place that the bar tender suggested and she didn’t let us down. The burger was AMAZING.  You can’t really make a good burger in the van, so we both were very satisfied.  We met some more locals at this place and Bryan got a charge of the lady saying that their gym coach was with them celebrating a birthday and they were all enjoying beers and naughty bar food.  She said he would make them all do extra burpees tomorrow. So very true! We drove to a local neighborhood and parked and spent the night.  Next morning took our bikes out and rode them down to the river. This place was super packed with tourists, but also very cool. Rode our bikes back to the van and we set off on foot again.  Walked back to the local dive bar and chatted again with the local folks.  I saw on FB that there was a live band at anther local bar, so we ventured out to see them. Had one beer each and listened to the band and walked back to the van.  Bryan drove to another spot for the night and the whole time in Savannah nobody bothered us.  Savannah is clean, beautiful safe walking/biking place and I would highly recommend a visit.  Now, off to Charleston we head.

Kingston, NB

After leaving Quebec we had planned on staying in Montreal the next night, but after driving into the city we weren’t feeling like we wanted to try and figure out another large city that wasn’t as cool as Quebec.  We headed southwest further to a smaller community named Kingston in New Brunswick.  We arrived on July 1st which is Canada Day, the same as our 4th of July.  The spot we found on Overlander had a nice bathroom, was right on Lake Ontario, and had a plug which I plugged our UPS battery and also the van into to bring up the charge since we decided to stay 2 nights.  We walked down to the park where the fireworks were going to be let off and first went to a place that was a $20 cover that included a drink with chips and salsa (Pace).  We sat down and waited to see if they could come up with a table for us to sit at.  After waiting for 20 minutes we changed venues to a place that wasn’t as crowded and didn’t have a cover charge.  It was a good fi...

Tavernier Florida - Florida Keys

 We made reservations at the Elks for 2 nights in Tavernier Fl. This was the most expensive Elks so far due to it being right on the beach.  When we arrived we met the host who help us get settled into our spot.  We couldn’t believe the view we had.  They had kayaks to rent, a big dock and a tiki hut. I couldn’t believe how many curly tailed lizards and iguanas were down here - ICK.  I did a pretty good job of getting over my fear of them because literally they were everywhere. That day Bryan took the paddle board out and I was too chicken and took a kayak out in the water.  We saw a nurse shark under the dock, manta ray, and several jelly fish. A couple came in a few hours later and they had a little girl (probably around 7) who soon became my new best friend.  She loved Gus and was super curious that we had a cat in the van. They had karaoke one night and of course I couldn’t resist and sang a couple songs.  Bryan came up with me for one duet. ...
