On March 22nd we left our home in Holiday / Tarpon Springs Florida. The Condo is in Holiday right near the city line to Tarpon Springs, the PO Box is in Tarpon Springs, and the motorhome is stored in Palm Harbor right near the city line to Tarpon Springs…hence, Holiday / Tarpon Springs Florida is where we live. On Saturday, September 15th, we arrived back in the Holiday / Tarpon Springs Florida area. Our six month trip included just over 8,000 miles, 16 states, and if I counted right, 75 blog postings.
But we live in the motorhome more than we live in the Condo…so our “Home Sweet Home” is ALWAYS with us…like at Sandy and Arny’s house above…
…the Alabama Hills in California, a new place for us this year…
…at Loeb State Park (left) and Huntly Park (right), where we spent five cool weeks in Oregon for our second straight year…
…and Lake Granby in Colorado, two more cool weeks in the middle of summer, also a new place for us.
But the Condo is our Winter Home…this year, our Fall and Winter Home…our HOT FALL HOME, where our temps have been in the low 90’s with humidity that is very unbearable. Right now, 10:30 pm, and 80 degrees and 80% humidity. YUCK! But inside, it is a comfortable 72 degrees…and now that we have everything out of the motorhome that we needed out of it, well, the comfort of home is here, and cool temps are just around the corner (in a month or two). We pulled in around 3 pm Saturday, unloaded a chunk of it, and put the motorhome in the RV park nearby for two nights…besides moving stuff out, it needed a good cleaning before storage. We surprised everyone at church on Sunday too. All is fine at the condo, we got our Internet up this morning, that huge stack of mail has been taken care of, and Marcia has the laundry all caught up. Tomorrow, after I help our neighbor retrieve her walker from the airport (she flew in yesterday and forgot her walker at the airport), there will be some shopping to do, and a run over to the motorhome because I just remembered that I forgot to open the ceiling vents. There is always something…
Glad you had a great and safe trip. The heat is everywhere and much worse every year it seems. But there's no climate crisis of course.
ReplyDeleteWell, two weeks ago we were at 8,500 feet, very low humidity with highs in the 70's, lows in the 30's...now this hot humid Florida weather...a huge change for sure.
DeleteWelcome back home! When are leaving again? :-D
ReplyDeleteOutside of short trips in Florida (or further north is a major storm comes in), we will be here for a good six months.
DeleteIt's hard to believe you are home already. Glad it was a safe trip. Enjoy the relaxation!!! No wondering where you will be staying for the next few months!!
ReplyDeleteOnce we hit the hot humid south, no need in going slow since you can't enjoy the nice cool night air. Another month or so and it will be very nice here too.
DeleteThat sounds like a great trip, soon it will be time to get ready for the next one:))
ReplyDeleteYes, in another 6 months or so.
