Itinerary

We figured leaving in February would be the best for following warm weather. It would be tricky getting out of New England but hopefully we would hit warmer weather around PA and snow will no longer be an issue. My family has traveled to Florida many times around late February, early March and we always had nice weather. So, the plan is to head south as soon as we see a clearing in the weather. We figure adam will tolerate about 6-8 hours at a time in the vehicle so plan to make our first stop in PA. After that we hope to make it to Savannah, Jekyll Island, Saint Augustine, and Cleareater. We havent made many lodging plans after that but the roigh outline is; through early spring we will spend our time in the south. We expect to be on the West Coast by spring time, the North-West and Mid-West by summer, and working our way back to the Northeast during late summer, and back in Maine for September.

How it all started...

It was late September and we were on our way to the Common Ground Fair. After passing many RVs on the road, Gregg said "Wouldn't it be cool to buy one of those and just go?" I have always wanted to travel so of course my response was "Lets do it!". So there it began, "the trip". As the days went on we started talking more and more about "the trip" and how we could make it work. Then we started looking on Craigslist and researching what the perfect RV would be for us. We found the Dolphin shortly after we started looking and immediately knew it would be perfect. We went and looked at it in early October and became mobile-home owners the next week. After the purchase of the Dolphin, "the trip" had become something real and we were very excited for our adventure!
