Monday December 26
The only significant event today was a drive up town to a Goodwill Super store.
Tuesday December 27 2022
Went to Costco, two thrift stores and found a good restaurant, GG’s of New York.
Millie got a deal on a small ceramic Christmas tree and I bought some one dollar DVD’s. That night we watched the last episode of Better call Saul on DVD.

We went to downtown Fort Lauderdale and took a 90 minute boat tour on the Jungle Queen tour boat. Fort Lauderdale is known as the Venice of the East because of all the manmade waterways. We traveled along some of them and also took a spin around the commercial harbor where the big cruise ships were docked. The trip was narrated and our tour guide had interesting stories about many of the large yachts and mansions of the super rich.
The end is near, December 29-31 2022
Its been a full week since I’ve written in the journal and to tell the truth I don’t remember us doing anything worth writing about. I seem to remember a Lil Caesar’s pizza that was fresh baked and really good.
I read most of a book called “Hell’s Bay”. It is one of a series written around a reclusive, anti-social man with no visible means of support who lives in the back waters of Key Largo and always ends up being the hero when he helps people who have been wronged.
Millie is also reading a book, it is one from the Stephanie Plum series written by Janet Evanovich, it is called “Going Rogue”. All of the Stefanie Plum books are fun easy reads, I think there are thirty of them published.
On Saturday I broke camp and put most everything away so we could go out for Breakfast on New Years morning. We only have to go about 65 miles on Sunday and breakfast eaten out will kill all the time we need to kill so we don’t get there too early. Check in at our new campground is 1:00pm.
That’s about it, the campground is the same on New Years eve as it has been since we arrived, quiet. That is quiet people, we have plenty of noise, the campground has two main arteries that run the length of one side of our urban jungle, the perpetual din from interstate I-95 and dual railroad tracks. A very fast commuter train runs multiple times a day and once or twice a day we hear the clackity clack of a cargo train.
2022 in review
All things considered, Millie and I are living the best life we can. I written and deleted this years end review several times because it always ends up being a political rant. The country has been through a lot in the past year and is still in a precarious condition. But there is nothing I can say here that will change anything. Besides this is a travel blog, so in celebration of a new year and our hope for the future I leave you with the wisdom of Calvin and Hobbes' final comic strip (December 31 1995)
