WOW, what a year. Purchasing Floridays in February was one of the best decisions we have made. As I reflect back on 2022 most end-of-year posts have lists so here is ours:
| Number of trips – Goal | 11 |
| Number of trips – Actual | 14 |
| Number of miles driven: | 5611 |
| Number of State Parks visited: | 6 additional to the ones we camped at |
| Number of State Parks we camped at: | 11, some we stayed at more than once |
| Number of county parks camped at: | 3 |
| Number of National Parks camped at: | 1, stayed at 3 times |
| Number of nights camping: | 37 |
| Easiest thing: | Driving the van |
| Hardest thing: | Planning the trips as most Florida campgrounds are full |
| Most important thing we learned: | To be flexible sometimes plans change and you need to go with the flow |
| Best animal encounter: | Margaret: Dung Beetle at Kissimmee Praire Wayne: Water moccasin crossing the road in Everglades National Park |
| What are we looking forward to for 2023: | More nights in the van |
We learned a lot about RVing from how to book campsites to how to use the RV and all its systems. There were new animal encounters and new places we visited and new historical tidbits we learned. I fell in love with Florida even more.
