Thank you for the discount 🎉. I'm 70 and purchasing a shuttle bus. I wanted to do this for the last 29 years but life got in the way. So now it's My Time ❤

[@GratefulGlamper]

That’s awesome! Best wishes in your endeavors.

[@timbloomer7645]

We stayed a week at Henderson Beach State Park a few years ago. Great park with great access to the campers side of beach. Question, when using Arvie can it be set up to watch for parks and sites that aren’t available to reserve at the time you’re making plans. Like if you want to make a reservation at Henderson Beach but it won’t let you reserve out more than 12 months in advance. So instead of having to sit on your computer at midnight on the day of opening for reservations, Arvie would do it for you.

[@terriarute3288]

lol YES your sandwich was upside down lol love your videos.

[@GratefulGlamper]

🧑‍🍳🍽️😂

[@donnahughes4652]

I saw a video that said it’s good way to eat a burger upside down if it’s Big burger because one usually can’t get one’s mouth around it. They should it was much easier to eat!!🤷🏻 😄🫶👍🏻 👵🏻

[@GregVT]

Look at you...camping minutes away from the hideout 😄 I live 4 miles away and camp there too. I LOVE Wekiwa!

[@tammymoore-kloss9680]

That looks like an amazing place to stay ! Springs look awesome, not sure about those gators though 😉

[@suziehudson8398]

I'll be hitting the road in September but I intend to be in Florida for November. This is helpful.

[@stephaniedaniels9285]

😂😂😂😂 love the motorized fin!!

[@GratefulGlamper]

So does Ben 😝

[@steverobinson1598]

Another great video. I'm in Seaview, Washington, at Thousand Trails Long Beach for the summer. This place stays packed full. I've not seen a decline in RV'ers at all. 90 to 115 degrees all over the country? Shucks, it's in the mid to upper 60's here.all the time. 1500 ft. from the Pacific Ocean at 48 degree water? It's like a built-in AC unit. I run my electric heater at night, every night.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Sounds great!

[@Brigand231]

The sandwich was definitely upside down before that Ben fixed it for you.

[@sandybostian1188]

We were at Wekiwa last February for 3 days. We definitely want to come back but it'll probably be a couple of years. Great park and looking forward to learning more about other parks in FL.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Awesome! Glad you got a chance to check it out and thanks for watching

[@sandrapicard422]

It was upside down!! Lol!!! ❤

[@GratefulGlamper]

😂

[@teresacahlik6887]

This was a great one Glamours.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thank you!

[@cherylholmes2824]

Kelly park and Magnolia Park- both in Apopka are our 2 favorite campgrounds in the area.

[@dicooop]

We are RVing the same... but we are noticing a lot of empty spaces also!!

[@JPA34698]

I live in Dunedin and summer is normally off season for this area because it’s SO hot. Winter is the busiest.

[@sandrapicard422]

Your dog looks like a puppy when you get him shaved due to heat!! ❤❤

[@GratefulGlamper]

He does - and he’s much cooler in the summer 😎

[@Saintly2]

Love your Buccee (sp) hat. 👒

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thank you!

[@tinablake1328]

Fun Vid. Were from New England. if your ever up this way check out Horseneck Beach State Park.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Will do and thanks for watching

[@r8edrv4fun65]

Have you been to Fort De Soto Park? I miss Central Florida for those reasons... beach and state parks.

[@elayned6147]

😊❤

[@sandymanning8744]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jeannierodbell4874]

Upside down! 😂

[@blairM363]

Nice video, but did you put the fence back together???

[@GratefulGlamper]

We did!

[@ChrisElrodPastor]

Check out Blue Springs State Park February - March to see hundreds of manatees during mating season. Only about an hour from Apopa and a gem of a state park.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Will do!

[@carolconnell9521]

Your kids are growing up. So nice to see.

[@GratefulGlamper]

They are getting so big - thanks for watching

[@MelDarkDeer]

Cracking up because the auto-generated captions said that the Flautas came with "Zesty Grandma". That could be me. 😂 Question: How do you get meal delivery services delivered when you are on the road? Did they send it to the campground?

[@GratefulGlamper]

That’s is hilarious! Zesty grandma! Depending on the campground you can change the address on the meal delivery. This one I had sent to our mail box in Florida since we were in the area. You get a text as soon as delivered (comes packed on ice packs) so You know to grab and unpack it

[@SpykersB]

I thought everyone (rver's) fled florida in summer cause i hear it's too hot? And whatcha think of that propeller fin lol? 🍻

[@GratefulGlamper]

Alot of them do, however, we LOVE it in the summer. We don't mind the humidity...it feels tropical 🏝️ And we also love that fin! ;)

[@ronnienobles6678]

Manatee State park Florida

[@bonnieapple9908]

Are you still at Wakiwa? We are in St. Cloud and would love to meet up! Been following you for a couple of years....sort of started when we were first researching full timing!

[@GratefulGlamper]

Hey there! Thanks for watching- we’ve moved on from Wekiwa but loved our stay there

[@jamespeacher3948]

What paddle boards are you using?

[@GratefulGlamper]

The are from Bluewater toys - link: amzn.to/3S5whqm

[@r8edrv4fun65]

Oh no, I wonder if the cancelations this summer have anything to do with all of the tornados and floods.

[@shawnbyars3618]

It was upside down!

[@GratefulGlamper]

😂

[@stana2z]

OMG! Y'all got cooked! Worst thing about being on the water or in the snow, you get the sun from above and below yah.

[@scottszego3700]

sandwich was not upside down. wise eaters know to eat with the top of bun down, as it provides more to hold and support the contents. especially if the content is saucy.

[@GratefulGlamper]

👍

[@staceytaylor3228]

What happened to Alaska's tail, it is very short?

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

Probably it was all hair, our furry dogs had less tail than we thought.

[@GratefulGlamper]

He was that way when we got him from the rescue. The rescue organization told us it was either a genetic defect or the mom might have accidentally eaten some of his tail at birth.

[@staceytaylor3228]

@@GratefulGlamper Poor little guy. Glad you guys have him, he is so sweet.

[@apatriotofhopedanjohn4781]

Oink🐷Oink

[@AveryFa]

I don't understand. IWhy don't you just put the slide in long enough to get out the paddle boards?

[@GratefulGlamper]

Once the slides are out, we have rugs and other furniture set out it, it’s a pain to bring the slide in and out - not to mention it requires starting the engine as not to task the batteries with the power needed.

[@ellennope5511]

Could you just pull in the slideout?

[@petetibbs6103]

Ben, you are so lucky to find a woman that is so much smarter and attractive that will not only marry you, but put up with you. Also, Great info on the park.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Ben agrees he definitely married up! Thanks for watching
