Diane: Memphis — All Elvis
With only one day in Memphis, we headed out early for the Sun Studio tour, and then spent some time on Beale Street before heading to Graceland. Elvis and so many great performers had their start at Sun Studios. It’s still a working studio, and our guide, who is also a session musician, had good…

Di: Music Utopia in New Orleans
New Orleans was one of the destinations I was most looking forward to. It met my high expectations. 😊 Our site was just a few blocks from the French Quarter, so we could come and go easily. It was also right next to the Lafitte Greenway, which is a multi-use path that connects major areas…

Diane: Port St. Joe
This is a beautiful coastal area where we’ve enjoyed sunsets at our waterfront site: One evening, while enjoying this view, the people in the next site had a visitor looking for dinner: I had a few great bike rides out the Cape San Blas peninsula. We spent an afternoon at the nine-mile beach in the…

Diane: Everglades and Solar Goes Live
Settle in. I have lots to cover. ☺️ After a busy few weeks, Long Pines Key campground in the Everglades National Park was beautifully calm and quiet. Mostly, we were alone to listen to the birds and crickets. The park itself is (from Wikipedia) “1.5 million acres of tropical and subtropical habitat with one of…

Diane: Living at the Ritz in Hilton Head
Seriously, Hilton Head National RV Resort and Cottages is treating us well. Our first clue was the escort to our site and guidance backing in (thankfully, relieving me of my usual duties). It’s a gated community, with impeccable grounds. The site has a concrete pad with a nice wooded area behind us. The resort clubhouse…

Di: Finally, Hilton Head
Sunny, warm(ish), and dry Hilton Head. Love it. We arrived at the Hilton Head National RV Resort and Cottages yesterday, and after setting up, headed over to Billy Mac’s Grill to enjoy beverages and the Masters on the big screen with other fans. Watching all the good swings by the pros must’ve helped me this…

Diane: Rivière-du-Loup to Home
I enjoy a warm, gentle breeze, listening to water lapping the beach. Less so, did I enjoy our last 48 hours in Cavendish, with single-digit temperatures, 70 km/hr, tree-bending wind gusts, and big whitecaps crashing into the shoreline. Troopers that we are, we golfed the first day, but declared the next one “an indoor day”.…

Diane: Cavendish and Charlottetown
This is a beautiful area, with lots of activities to offer. I’ve been biking along the beautiful Gulf Shore Parkway, enjoying time on the beach, and visiting Charlottetown. Here are some pics: Here’s a bonus sight when we were wandering around Charlottetown before our own pre-dinner cocktail. We played the challenging Green Gables on Monday,…
