Greetings from our maiden voyage in Roxanne, the motor home!

We plan on spending three weeks on the road, starting in Magnolia, Texas where we live, and traveling through parts of Louisiana, Florida, South and North Carolina and Tennessee, before returning home.

Day one is a travel day covering some 340 miles from Magnolia, Texas to the Lakeside RV (recreational vehicle) Park in Livingston, Louisiana. It is perhaps a few more miles than the ideal, as we have already learned that it takes much longer to go anywhere in the motor home compared to our truck, but May-time is crawfish season in Louisiana and we were unable to get into our first choice of park due to a crawfish festival taking place.

That said, some six hours after we set off, we arrive at the park which is delightful. It has spaces for some 140 vehicles – motor homes of Roxanne’s size (40 feet) and larger, fifth wheels (which are pulled by a truck) and all kinds of combinations in-between.

The park is very pretty and includes a well-stocked fish lake in the middle with swans, geese and other wildlife and surrounded by beautiful trees.
