Timeline: (flexible) - I'd like to travel south for approximately two months next year and I'm looking for an adventurous person to share this experience and the navigation from here to there. I'm open to traveling to any points south of the Georgia/Florida line at this time. We will be stopping at many campgrounds, both public and private, and as many points of interest as we can find. Where would you like to visit? Have you been to the Florida Keys? Do you like to fish?

You can travel for one week, two weeks, or more. Fly back home, take a Greyhound bus, or just finish the adventure.

Preferences - Must be able to read a road map / GPS / or a Boy Scout compass, I will do the driving and like to keep road time at a minimum so we have time to smell the roses if we find any.

Requirements - Non-smoker, tidy, a sense of humor, share cost of travel expenses ( gas, food)

Provided - Travel and sleeping accommodations. I am not looking for a nurse and a purse or vice versa.

Accommodations - 27-foot Airstream Flying Cloud camper. Google Airstream 2010 flying Cloud floor plan. This camper sleeps six people but I am looking for just one down-to-earth person to share this space.

Next Steps - If this sounds like something you may be interested in, I welcome discussing this venture further. Come for an interview and interview me. Be sure to ask many questions as I will have some of my own.

We will be taking a shake-down trip/camp near Spring Creek to see if everything clicks between the two of us and the travel capsule. This time period is when we make adjustments to our time together on the road, remember we only live once so good planning will be essential to make this a trip to remember and share our experiences with others.

One final note, I am nearing my 82nd birthday, but I have the spirit of a teenager. I've been around the block a few times and now I'd like to travel to see more of our beautiful country. I enjoy storytelling, bartering/trading, and learning from others. I'm easy-going, street-smart, and very observant. As a heads-up, I hope you'd be open to pulling over and exploring a bit if something catches my eye or if you're interested in something on the road. Other than the many Florida miles logged and sites seen, what could possibly go wrong as time marches on for the both of us? One more thought, we could compile enough data to write a book on our travels to life's end or a wiser beginning.
