19th – 22rd May 2019
I must apologise for being AWFUL at keeping this blog up to date…. I was intending on writing a post a day but it turns out, when you’re having fun you don’t want to write about it, you want to experience it! Neither of us are great at social media, if you’re following us on Instagram, you’ll see my spurts of four posts in one day and then nothing for another four days!
I’m going to do a quick round up of our adventures this week; this post is about the first half, Monday – Wednesday, which mainly consisted of seeing friends. Old friends of Asa and new friends for me! We said goodbye to Connor and Rebeca (thank you so much for having us!) on Monday and left St Pete for a hop over Tampa bay to stay with family friends Samantha and Andy (and of course their dogs Belle and Girlfriend); their house is lovely and the guest suite was Airbnb worthy, we slept like babies after a trip downtown to watch the sunset on a rooftop bar.
Thank you for the toiletries and Netflix to watch Our Planet! The next day we caught up on admin and then leisurely made our way out to Brandon where Asa’s college friends Travis and Stephanie live. We just about managed to fit our bus on their driveway, only blocking the sidewalk a bit (hopefully you didn’t get a letter from your HOA!). We enjoyed a night of board games and Thai food and Asa’s waffles the next morning before heading our early to our next stop – Orlando!
A big thank you to everyone who has put us up on this journey so far, with no air conditioning in the bus, a small shower and a composting toilet; it has been so nice to have nights where we’ve slept under the covers and been able to take the time to use shampoo, conditioner, face wash AND shave my legs!
