RV'ing to Orlando to see the Kings

We are on the move, yet again! We headed back to Orlando but this time with Annie Too. We are meeting up with friends, Rob & Kris King. We are excited to spend a week hanging out with them and seeing what kind of trouble we can get into with them!

We ARE Roller Coaster People


Keith and I spent a day at Universal Studios in Orlando on Sunday and contemplated going again Monday but decided to run errands instead. We rode a total of 10 rides. Our two favorites were The Mummy and The Rockin’ Rollercoaster. We aren’t as young as we used to be so 10 was the max we could handle... Hogwarts is GREAT but I found myself closing my eyes many times due all the motion making my head hurt...
Anyways, Orlando was really fun. We loved the Orlando RV Resort and will go back again. It’s clean, huge, has a fenced dog park and close to shops. We joined Thousand Trails and are very glad we did  - it's saved us a ton of money!! Ask us more about it, if interested. WE LOVE IT!

On pack up day we both admitted we were sad to leave. The silver lining is we are going to Ft.Myers to see our besties for 2 weeks. A tattoo or two may even be planned... we shall see!

With all of our travels I try to be as thrifty as possible. I cook a lot and I buy experiences from Groupon so we still get out and see things. (Use my link and you'll get $10 Groupon bucks). We have several rounds of golf, mani/pedi’s, a sunset cruise and a distillery tour scheduled so far. We gravitate towards wine tastings, spa days, trying new experiences... What do you like to do on vacation?

As Willie Put it... On The Road Again

Cheers, love!
We have been bitten by the RV camping bug, that’s for sure. We got back to Ocala after a week in Myrtle Beach and we’re instantly planning our next outing. Joining Thousand Trails has been a game changer as it’s allowed us to just reserve spots in campgrounds nearby for “free”. It’s suffice to say it’s already paid for itself. 

We are planning an outing to Universal Studios with our friends, Rob and Kris, in April. Being FL residents, we got a great deal on 3 days versus 1. So, after a few days in Ocala, we decided to go stay closer to Orlando so we could start using those days. We had been given 2 free nights at a campground 45 min from Orlando to go listen to a timeshare sales pitch. We went! 

The pitch was the usual 2 hour deal, we said no thanks and collected our free lunch, $50 gift card, $25 Cracker Barrel gift card and vouchers for 2 nights elsewhere and 21 days of free camping. Not too shabby!

We had hoped to stay one more night for free to go to the park but were told it was $45 a night (we didn’t buy, after all) so we looked up Thousand Trails and booked 3 nights for $0 which is 30 minutes from Universal. Winning!

We packed up the pups and we are heading to Orlando for some roller coaster fun! See ya soon!
