The Beautiful, White Sandy Beaches of Panama City, Florida


The pristine white sands at Panama City Beach - before the oil spill! Lost paradise?


Hi my friends,
Doesn't looks like in paradise, my photo of Panama City Beach? 
This was how the beach looked before BP's big oil spill - and how it still looks today we all know it from the media.
Slowly they are recovering from that BIG environmental disaster - of course, the media is saying that again.
I wish for all the residents there, that the media is right! 
Hoping that all the businesses will have a great come back again, like it was before.

Thank you to all my friends for your kind comments yesterday!

Florida Panhandle Sea Shores

Lot of sea birds are sitting on a sand bank


Pretty nature scenes at the shores of the Gulf of Mexico


Carrabelle's sea shores with shallow water

I have to cut off my laptop.... it's lightning to much!
See ya' later.... :)

Hi my friends,

We are heading back to Florida's Peninsula. We loved the emerald green water of the Gulf of Mexico - and we had a good time there. We were even thinking to settle down in Panama City and went out looking at some houses already. But, we didn't liked anything we have seen. Yep, I know it.... probably we are not that easy people if it comes to living accommodations, we have a certain taste and a lot of expectations for our new future home! But I'm optimistic, one day we will find THAT pretty little house to call it our new home :)

Thank you so much for all your kind comments to my last post. Love you all! :)

Stay with me, see ya' tomorrow in Florida again!

Girls, Girls, Girls...

Young girls chatting, walking together in the white sand and enjoying
the hot summer sun at the beach. Tomorrow I'll show you more beach scene photos.



Hi my friends,

thanks for all the wonderful comments and compliments to my last photo! :)

We've enjoyed today Panama City Beach - and it was HOT, HOT, HOT!

It felt like it was one of the hottest days today! But it was a very nice, relaxed afternoon, we both had fun watching all the beach people going by and looking out to the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico. And we get sunburned too :)

I'll show you some pictures tomorrow, if I'll have Internet, o.k.? :)

Stay with us, we will be on the road again tomorrow.
See you there!

Don't fight!

Fighting for food



Hi my friends,

thank you all for all the nice comments and compliments to my last post and to my last 1001 other posts over all the years I was blogging. Yep, this is my post #1002, today! Unbelievable also for me that I can be working on my blog such a long time and so focused :)

We are arrived at the beautiful Emerald Coast in the Panhandle of Florida - it is perfect weather here and the water is indeed emerald green! We have visited this Gulf region already 6 months ago, that was when we were starting out with our travels, going West the first time.

Who knows, maybe we will be heading towards West again - but first we like to enjoy the Gulf shores, the snow white sand beaches and getting also some sun tan...LOL... :)

Well, then....stay tuned with me - see you at the beach!

Two days at the beach

Coming from Corpus Christi, you'll be entering the Islands, first Padre Island and then take a left to Mustang Island - that's what we did


This is our little RV enjoying beach life


We were not the only one parked out here, everywhere were also big buses to see. On Mustang Island and at Port Aransas is actually allowed to park RV's directly on the beach, even over night, if you have a permit from the city


The sound of the rolling waves were very loud - but it was beautiful to listen to the melody of the waves!


There is also all kind of life going on on a beach: kids are playing and looking for shells


Seagulls are flying close by - La Paloma blanca


Why do Pelicans fly in groups?


A close up shot to five of the "group members"


In Port Aransas you can watch the big oil tankers going out to the deep sea


Or the deep sea fishing boats coming back home to the harbor


Port Aransas is getting ready for next week starting spring breakers - thousands of students will probably overflow the island and this pretty little town and at the beach



Beautiful beaches, vibrant views, relaxing retreats. Enjoy shimmering sunrises over the Texas Gulf Coast and serene evenings on the bay. Port Aransas is the premier vacation destination for beach, sun and family fun! Wiggle your toes in the sand! Reel in a redfish, captain a kayak, search for seashells, birdwatch, shop coastal stores and dine in island style restaurants. Our tranquil, tropical community boasts miles of natural beaches, gentle gulf breezes and just-right weather making our island a perfect, peaceful get away. Get close to the water and away from the crowds. Stay for a weekend or a week in choice accommodations -from quaint cottages to beachfront condos and RV parks to camp grounds. Visit Port Aransas on Mustang Island and enjoy the unspoiled beauty of Texas~Island Style!

What a pretty morning today!

That's the look out to the the water this morning, walking to the pier from the campground in Carrabelle, FL


Sitting on those chairs is for sure a nice place to be and to watch the sun setting into the Gulf of Mexico, if there is a sunset. Yesterday we had no sunset, it was gray and cloudy. In the night we had heavy rainfall and very strong winds but happily no tornadoes, they went trough little more in the North in Georgia.

In this case, thank you all for crossing your fingers for us :)


This is the view to the RV Park in Carrabelle, FL where we spent our night. Today we plan to head more to West. Maybe we will make it to the Alabama today!

See ya' later there.... and have a great time too!
Susanne and David
