Catching up a bit.............

     How fast 10 days has went by, so much has happen and so much has been enjoyed and I need to catch up on the blog a bit.
     St. Augustine, Florida, what can I say but that we are so glad we stopped and stayed for a few days.  Very beautiful, quaint in an old school way with it's European type sections of town, narrow streets, old buildings and pubs and eateries!  The Atlantic ocean was nice here and we even took in a few hours of beach time which made Beverly very happy.  The ocean even knocked this old boys body around once it took me off my feet!  Took some good pictures of the small surf and out waited some sand crabs for a few pics too!  We would highly recommend spending a few days there if you're ever in the area.  By the way we missed going to the "fountain of youth" but like I said on FB we drove by the place at least 6 or 7 times and I felt that was as good as a $12.50 shot glass of water!  We did not get any golf in while staying at St. Augustine but did visit the World Golf Hall of Fame.  What an awesome place this was even if you're not a golf enthusiast, there was so much to see and so much history of the game and it's players to learn about.  Another must see if ever nearby especially if you love the game of golf.  We could have and would have stayed another day or so but the RV resort was booked solid for the weekend so we hit the road towards Savannah, Georgia.
     Mind you the trip from Port St. Lucie to Savannah, Ga. is only 373 miles (5 hours 45 minutes roughly by car) we arrived in PSL on July 15th and we're scheduled to leave Savannah for South Carolina on the 3rd or 4th of August........that will be right at 3 weeks to travel 373 miles.  A jam packed 3 weeks it has been but a lot of relaxing in between too!  I would say if you would have told us we'd be spending right at 30 days in Florida on this journey we would have said you were nuts.  Remember that is what it will be, by the time we left the state, from Panama City to Spring Hill and then to Tampa and Port St. Lucie via Key West on into St. Augustine until we land in Savannah, Ga. via Jekyll Island.  Now Jekyll Island, we stopped there for what turned out to be quite a different experience.  We had heard about a cruise ship that went out to sea for 5 hour cruises on a 4 deck ship designed for a little casino gaming while and only when you reach international waters.  For $5 (only on $5 Fridays, any other day it's $10) you got dinner, roughly 4 1/2 hours of gaming and breakfast from 7:00 pm until 1:00 am the next morning.  We parked the motor home in their lot and decided to give it a go..................bad idea!  Not that we lost a lot of cash, just the opposite, we came out pretty good it was the rest of the trip that sucked.  Let me just say the $5 was way too much for the dinner and breakfast!  While heading out to sea we had Spaghetti and meat balls with a can of Hunts diced tomatoes for the sauce, and luke warm to boot!  The gaming was some old machines but did play some craps and blackjack.  On the way back to port breakfast was served, a silver dollar pancake, one 4" pancake with a sausage patty on top of which you had the option of putting syrup over this dynamic duo, these too luke warm!  NO shit, that was it..............................I cashed out $150 before departing which pretty much squared us for the evening, never again will be take something like that.  We ended up staying the night in the parking lot (thank God for the generator because it was hot) and heading into Savannah the next morning, so here we are in Georgia.
     Our first night we went down town Savannah just to check it out and what a zoo..........in a good way!  The old town was rocking, bars, dinning places, pubs, taverns all open and it's 11:00 pm and everyone is still eating dinner with lines everywhere.  The streets are packed with folks, dancing to DJ's, snacking on this or that and just plain having a great time.  The line dancing we've been seeing here in the south is nothing like the gals back at the home (Friendly Village of Orangewood) these folks are getting down baby!  Oh yes and the music is Hip Hop and not your old folks traditional line dancing music.  We first witnessed this on the cruise ship on the way back to port, you might have seen that brief video on FB I posted.  Anyway we plan on doing it again tonight after a evening meal with Paula Deen at here place of business down town, "The Lady and her Boys" dinner and buffet,  The reviews for her place are great and most recommend the buffet for a variety of her dishes.  Always like watching her on the Food Network and still feel she was given a raw deal over a little bit of bullshit.
     Hope to get back on the links while here in Savannah, but we plan on 4 days here at least so we'll see what happens from here...........last night before hitting down town it was another movie night, Jason Bourne, it was very good as usual.
     I must add that the next visit to Florida will take place during the winter months if and when we make this trek again!
