I'm glad your Westy has been upgraded to "Garden Gnome" status and you're
taking it everywhere you go on your travels. Please stop at each state line
sign and photograph your Westy for us. We're never going to believe that you
left Canada and all that beautiful Snow and Ice if we don't get to see some
pictures. On my last trip to Florida we stayed in an RV campgrounds that had
RVs for rent by the day, week or month. These units were 'year-round'
vehicles that belonged to Snow Birds that just wanted to get their monthly
parking paid for so they didn't have to worry about driving ageing RVs from
North to South every year. You might consider asking some of the RV camp
keepers if they have stationary units for rent. This might put you close to
the beach in some locations. If you don't waste 4+ days driving to have a
two day vacation you might actually get some sun on the beach. With gas at
over $1.60 most places, it's a toss up on Air vs. Air Cooled (WB alternate
at 15 - 16 mpg). Then there is the desperate move of calling Larry Chase and
moving in with him for a week on one of the Florida Beaches. I'm sure Larry
would love to have some company. I don't think language would be a problem,
Larry speaks Canadian and I'm sure with a little assistance you'll learn
enough English to get a beer and barbeque.
