CV1 Day 13: Hop 4, Acworth GA to Orlando FL

476 miles via GA 82 and then mostly via I-75 but with two major diversions, courtesy of the GPS that were too complicated to recall exactly. One was down US 41 and back to I-75 via Jackson Road, to avoid an accident. The other was through Apopka, diverting east of I-75 and entering Orlando from … Continue reading »

CV1 Day 7: Hop 2, Tampa FL to Charleston SC

The disembarkation process was more difficult than it should have been, but not as bad as it was on the Vista. We gathered in the theater, without luggage, and waited about 30 minutes before being allowed to leave the ship. But the exit, rather than being on that level or the level below, was 5 … Continue reading »

St Marys GA

Our first stop on the TN8 was Kingsland GA. But the real attraction was the nearby town of St Marys – a town that Ooma and I visited today. This is a beautiful, quiet little town on the banks of the St Marys River and home to the Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base. Ooma has … Continue reading »
