After our night in the Cracker Barrel parking lot on Feb 14, 223, we stopped by Hiawassee Georgia to drop a few things off and pick a few things up from storage to prepare ourselves to head all the way across the country and then eventually all the way up to Alaska.

I don’t know how I did it, but somehow I forgot to snap photos of our rig in Hiawassee. We were incredibly busy so I will use that as my excuse. 🤣

After leaving Hiawassee, we made a long trek west to Hot Springs, Arkansas. Driving through Tennessee, we went through several severe weather warnings. On one of them, we found that there was an active tornado. When we pulled up the information we realized that it was crossing interstate 40 in the county that we had just driven through.

it was a major relief to finally arrive in Hot Springs. One of the main reasons that I wanted to stop by here was that I wanted to pay my respects at the grave of Adam Brown, a member of Seal team six. There is a book about him written by called “Fearless” that I highly recommend.

While here in Hot Springs, we stayed over at . This was the middle of February 2023 so it was definitely off-season. That meant, there wasn’t a whole lot going on. But it looked like it would be a fun place to stay during the summer!

When you do fulltime RV life, sometimes “home” is some beautiful picturesque mountain scene. But, sometimes it’s the parking lot in Macon, GA.

It was Feb 14, 2023. We had left Orlando that morning to meet my family at Cracker Barrel in Lake City, FL for lunch. We had a trip planned that would take us from Florida to California and eventually all the way up to Alaska. So, we definitely wanted to see our family first!

After leaving the Cracker Barrel in Lake City, wouldn’t you know…we ended up at another for the night in Macon Ga. This stop may not have been the Tetons but wow, what a sunset!

Our next stop would be Hiawassee, GA to drop some things off in Storage before making our long trek out west.

On February 14, 2023 we departed Orlando to begin our journey that would eventually take us all the way up to Alaska. We knew we would be gone for quite some time so we met my family in North Florida for lunch. This would be the last time we would get to see them for quite a while.

We are very close with our family and that is definitely the downside to RV life that so many full-time RV families failed to mention. You definitely do miss your family when you are away from them. It was so nice getting to see them before we headed out on our epic adventure.

The plan was to make our way up to North Georgia where we had some things in storage to both pick up a few things we would need for the trip to Alaska and drop off things that we would not. After leaving North Georgia, we would begin our journey across the country to Temecula California. that is where we would stay until the beginning of June 2023 and which point we would leave to go meet our friends in Montana to travel to Alaska together.

We left Fort Myers on the 1st of Feb 2023 to make our way back to Orlando and the Orlando RV Resort (TTO).

You may have noticed we stay in these thousand trails parks a good bit. That is because our membership allows us to stay in them for free for up to 3 weeks. Then we can simply go to another TT park! If interested in this membership please message us and we will get you connected with someone that can help you get set up properly.

We had 2 weeks booked here at TTO for the first half of February 2023. While here we continued making our plans for our Alaska trip with the . Angela would need to work a travel nurse assignment before that trip to we decided during this time to head back out west to Temecula, CA where she would work at a hospital she had worked at previously. The trip out to Temecula would mean 2 things…first we would have to do LOTS of preparing for the Alaska trip before heading out west. And second, our stay at TTO would be cut short by a day so we could make it to Temecula in time. It was a mad dash on that last morning to get everything done and then meet my parents a few hours away at lunch.

Side note…look at the size of the spot we had at TTO!!

In mid January 2023, we left Orlando and continued on down to South Florida to see some friends. We also made a quick trek back up to Tampa for the Tampa RV show..

down in Fort Myers, we stayed at Pioneer Village RV park by This was only a few months after a hurricane had decimated Fort Myers, but everything was coming back together quickly. We enjoyed our time here and getting to meet our neighbor Mario from Canada. He spoke very little English, and we speak zero French, so we used Google translate quite a bit. while here, we continued planning our trip to Alaska and started putting in some more concrete plans. It was during this day that we started looking into where Angela would take her next travel nurse contract before heading up to Alaska.

In the beginning of January, 2023, we left Crystal River Florida, and continued down to Orlando to meet our friends at Orlando (TTO) resort.

It was here that we would end up, changing our plans and begin planning the biggest adventure of our RV life so far. Our plans were to spend the winter and spring doing the Florida Shuffle by moving every two weeks to different thousand trails parks with our friends. But while down here, we started talking to some of them and asked what their plans were for the summer. They mentioned thinking about Alaska and we all said “OK, let’s do it. Let’s just drive to Alaska“.

Angela had been off of travel nursing contract since October. We knew in order to make the Alaska trip happen, she would need to work a contract before going. Otherwise, she would not be working for a year. Plus, we could really use the savings for the Alaska trip.

So, we immediately changed our plans. We would spend the next six weeks or so in Florida, and then head out to a travel nurse contract somewhere. That way she could work before we would depart in June to start heading up to Alaska.

We had two weeks booked here at TTO before we would head down to South Florida for a couple of weeks and then BACK up to TTO.

On January 1, 2023, we left Carrabelle Beach to make our way towards Central Florida, where we would be meeting up with some of our other full-time RV family friends.

We stayed for several days at the Crystal River RV resort by . This was our first time in this area for any stay. Although, growing up in north Florida, I had driven through this area several times in my life.

Angela and I both really enjoyed this location and thought we needed to come back for a longer stay as we only had a few days here. Crystal River is natural Florida. It would definitely be a great place to go explore the outdoors.

For Christmas of 2022, we made our way down to to spend the month and see our family in North Florida. It was nice being back in this area as we ended up having a medical emergency with our son.

despite the scare with our son, we had a great time spending Christmas with our family. We were to be heading further south for the winter and spring to meet up with some other full-time RV friends little did we know, we would end up going down there and making the biggest plans of our RV journey ever.

After leaving Central North Carolina at the end of November, 2022, it was time to head down to Hiawassee, GA where we own an Airbnb called . We had to stop by and decorate the place for Christmas!

We set aside a few days in Hiawassee to do so on our way down to Florida. We stayed here at a campground in Hiawassee that is actually now owned by .

After our Thanksgiving with our family in 2022, it was time to start making our way south to Florida for Christmas with the other side of the family. Our first stop along the way was the in Statesville North Carolina.

This was a very nice campground, although we only had one night here as we had to make our way on down to Hiawassee to check on things and decorate the Airbnb that we own for Christmas. Maybe on another visit we can stay in this area a little longer and really get to enjoy this campground.
