Sebastian to Jacksonville, FL......31st March to 3rd April 2016...

Today we must say our fond farewells to our new friends and neighbours at Whispering Palms and start our return journey north to Georgia.....we had torrential rain from 05.30 but luckily it had stopped by the time we needed to hitch up our home on wheels and head for the I-95 north for the 200 miles to Jacksonville.....we had been warned that the snowbirds will now be flying north and yes it is quite an exodus !! Unfortunately I didn't manage to get a good photo of the amount of motorhomes on the move.....


This and photo above taken at one of the rest areas on the I-95.....a good 80% of all tags/number plates seen today on motorhomes and cars were from Northern States or Canada.....
And here we are back at the Port of Jacksonville seen from the I-295 and about 15 minutes ....no wonder there are so many car transporters on the I-95 !!!
Not only is Jacksonville a huge container port but is also a cruise ship terminal...
Our campsite at Pecan Park, Jacksonville is large and we have seen fabulous motor homes, 5th wheels and trailers with top of the range detailed paintwork but our favourite is this one which of course we had to call Priscilla....
We were here for 4 nights to prep our home on wheels for storage, we do have a trip out to Camping World for exciting things like holding tank chemicals and light bulbs....we know how to live it up.....
Yorkieman is happy as we have the golf channel although the TV warnings about a possible tornado were not what we wanted  !! Luckily we just had a huge thunder storm and torrential rain....the storm cleared the air though and Sunday was a perfect clear blue sky day and high 70's....
Tomorrow we once more head north to Perry, Georgia....
More soon from..
The Sunny Campers....
