Here are answers to some recent queries and comments we've received.  

"How have you not gained weight?" Mike's put on a few pounds but we have always been "foodies" and try to stay fairly active by walking, going for bike rides and exploring the places we visit. And, while it's probably hard to believe given our restaurant posts, we do try and share a lot and in many cases order food that's not too bad for us. Most of the 'Diner's Drive Ins & Dive's' we frequent use a LOT of salt so we're now trying to keep those places to a minimum.

Many have asked "what gas mileage do we get in the coach?" 
Honestly, if you worry about it you shouldn't RV in a class A motorhome.  The way we rationalize it, the coach, so far, averages 8.7 mpg and the Jeep 24.6 mpg.  We only travel in the coach when we change locations (usually 4-5 times a month @ around 250 mi each leg) and use the Jeep for touring the area.
So our average MPG is around 18.
Luckily, gas prices have stayed relatively low so filling our 80 gallon tank isn't horrible. Fingers crossed it stays that way.  Since we left FL gas prices have been between $1.70 and $1.99.

"Do you miss us?"
Yes, of course. We've been on the road for almost three months and although we're having a great experience, we do miss home, family & friends. But we knew we would before we left. Can you say Face Time?
Another advantage to all this traveling is the opportunity to visit relatives and friends along the way. We've already seen people we haven't seen in years and plan to visit many more.
Maybe you know we're headed your way. Can't wait to see you!
