 Left Arizona a week ago, took us 3 days to get thru Texas, and 4 to get thru the rest, we left Mississippi this morning and went thru Arkansas and made it to Florida today!  Louisana was so so, a lot of swamps, but we didn't drive thru New Orleans because of the flooding going on there right now, Mississippi was beautiful, we drove along the coast and stayed at a the Buckaneer's State Park, in was right on the Gulf of Mexico, beautiful, we could of  stayed on the gulf side for $15 more, but it was very foggy out and couldn't see much anyways until morning when the fog cleared it was and it was awesome, the sand is so white and the water is so clean!  We finally was able to stop alone the road and walk on the beach, looked just like the beaches in the Caribbean!  Was only in Mississippi about 2 hours and Arkansas for about an hour and a half, we drove along the bottom of each state on I-10!  Made good time today, should make it to our friends in Homosassa by late tomorrow or early Sat.
                                  I included a picture of all the books I have on my dash, I use everyone of them, Woodalls is for letting me know where every campground is in every state, most even have the prices, I use the Next Exit so we know what is off each exit, gas stations, camping, stores, restaurants,etc. I use the Walmart book so if we need to boondock or need a few items I know where everyone is in every state and last but not least is our Escapee's book, we are skp members and get up to half off rv resorts that honor our memberships, we have saved a lot of money this way, helps a lot, especially with the cost of gas right now, we are paying between $3.56 to $3.89 a gallon and it is a killing us, there are days when we are putting $200 a day in the tank! Hoping and praying the fuel prices go down by the time we leave Florida! We try to save by eating most meals in the motorhome or fast food places, we stay only at state parks or Skp parks!  Been cutting back on the souvenirs too! But we will be staying put at our friends for about 2 weeks before we head to our daughters in Virginia, that will save us a lot on gas, we will give them money towards our expense for staying there! I also use travel books from AAA travel. Well, tired and ready to hit the bed! Until the next time God Bless!
