This year National Geographic Traveler magazine went to 200 places around the world to compile a list of 20 "Best of the world 2013" places to see. I'm proud to say that Saint Augustine made that list! If you haven't been here, put it in your bucket of places to visit.

Well, only if you like significant history, great restaurants, lively nightlife full of accomplished local musicians, moonlight carriage rides, a pretty decent winery right in downtown, museums and galleries galore, and a short hop to some of the prettiest beaches in Florida! However, if you hate traffic..... ------------- Bob and Joyce Jennifer and Baxter, the Campin' Cocker Spaniels RP 177 "Key Pod" Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT / Z71 |

Agreed, the traffic is really bad at times. During the summer I don't go to the old part of town. In the winter it is much nicer. Terry ------------- RP-175 W/Lift Kit 2011 Ford F-150 4X4 Saint Augustine, FL: The first permanent European settlement in the USA: 1565 |

| My husband and I will be arriving in St. Augustine TODAY!!! We will be camping at Anastasia State Park for two days. Sounds like we should extend our stay there. |

We'll be camping at Anastasia SP next month. Can't wait. From there it's on to visit the in-laws in Daytona. Maybe I'll stay at the SP and let Linda take the truck and go visit. Sounds like a good idea... right. ------------- Linda and Dan Calley the golden retriever R-pod 177 and a Tundra 8 cyl |

Our son spent two weeks camping at Jonathan DIckenson State Park and loved it From the photos he sent us, we might just venture over from the Gulf Coast to camp there. ------------- Paige and Pete 2010 177 - RPug 2012 Rav (six cylinder) New York & Florida residents

I'll echo everyone's positive opinions on St. Augustine and add that Schooners is a great place for seafood...nothing fancy just great food! There is also a great little CG in Jacksonville called Hannas. It' s one of those nice little "secret" jewels that I just happened upon. Okefenokee NWR is also nearby and well worth a visit...unless "addigators" really creep you out. ------------- Rich 2013 R-177 2013 Ford F 150 4X4 (yeah, bought a new truck)! |
