Living 350 miles from the Florida border and more like 600 from anywhere I might want to go makes that plane start looking good. |

There were broken clouds, but we still managed to see it. No RV needed. I walked out my front door and viewed the 'blood moon' without the aid of my binoculars of 55-200mm camera lens. |

Mission Bay Campground and the RV park are nice. Long drive from the
ocean, either via Garnet, or Sea World Dr. Cheaper if you have a large RV. You are looking at about $850 a week with tax, vs. house on Monterey Ct. In Mission Beach for $2250 a week including taxes. |

You could always move to Jacksonville if you need to be near a border. |

My youngest son's inlaws just sold a nice condo on Amelia Island because it was too cold for them in the winter to play golf every day. |
