We are on the road for the first time in our new 2021 Thor Gemini 23TW and we are so excited! This first road trip will take us from Louisiana to Florida. We are actually heading to Tampa, but decide to take our time and make the trip in two days with a stop over in Pensacola Beach. Since this is our first road trip, we have to commemorate it with pictures in front of the 'welcome' signs as we cross over into each state... Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.
Once in Florida, we head to our stop for the night at the Pensacola Beach RV Resort... which is right on the beach! And there is a lot to do in this area. On the drive in, I spotted Shaggy's. This is a great restaurant that has locations along the Gulf Coast and specializes in fresh Gulf of Mexico seafood. We HAD to go eat here and it was worth the walk in the cold to get there! We had a great first night in the RV and get up and hit the road in the morning.... after I walk around and show this great RV park.
Come along on these new adventures...

Buy a small heater at Walmart for your Rv! Save the propane! If you have a site with electrical and hook ups use the electricity cause it's included. Plug your heater in and it keeps you warm all day and night.

@nomadichope1211 3 года назад

Ha! Lol! 😆 I think all of us on here are living vicariously through you guys.

@kimberlyshalaby1134 3 года назад

I had to laugh at Jason eating a french fry with gloves on, while a woman stood in the back ground in khaki shorts & a navy Shaggy's sweatshirt on. Dinner looked delicious. The campground looked very inviting, & the beach looked welcoming. Thanks for sharing.

@robintranchina6588 3 года назад

Alisa & Jason, y'all are the kind of people who get excited leaving the house; just like Mike & I. It don't matter where you go! You do what you can to stay safe & refuse to let fear dictate your life. You love life & the people you meet along the way. To you, its truly a blessing to wake up each day & it shows in your videos. Thank you for sharing! EECC Travels is a blessing to us❤️🙏🏼

Welcome to RV'ing. Followed you guys from your cruising days. Once you HAVE an RV, you really start to notice just how many there are on the road. One STRONG suggestion for your RV'ing journey. DON'T pull over on the side of the interstate, or any other road that doesn't have a specific pullout, to take pictures! You'll be amazed at how many accidents happen that way. Good luck and hoping you to have many great adventures RV'ing.

I'm with you, I dont do cold. Nope. Give me warm sand beaches any day!!! Bring on the warm weather!!!

@totallytania7978 3 года назад

I want to be cold...!!!😐

@laurahenshaw3590 2 года назад

One of my most favorite things about our camper: I always have my own stuff: my own toilet, my own fridge, my own tea, etc. And we have countless memories of lunches at the dinette on our journeys =) Also, I'm sure you've figured this out already, but even on a one-night stop, deploying your stabilizers will minimize rocking from wind & walking inside the rig. And one final note: if you haven't discovered this yet: an RV park tends to be a paved lot with hook-ups, where as a campground usually has more nature, i.e. grass, trees, etc. So far, you're doing a great job for RV noobs! 👍🏻

@pensacolabeachrvresort2601 3 года назад

Thank you for sharing your experience! We appreciate the compliments and hope you come back to see us when the weather is warmer! :)

@brigand13 3 года назад

As a tip, there's a hotel just about a block from the RV park y'all stayed at which is AWESOME!! It's called Paradise in and also has its own open air bar space with a stage for live music. My crew stayed there a few years ago and it was GREAT!! It would definitely be a good fit if you want to hit Pensacola Beach with folks who aren't RVing.

@valeriewagner-gautier1558 3 года назад

The Myatt sign looks good. We feel honored that you put it in the RV...

@EECCTravels 3 года назад

It was so cool how could we not! Love y’all!

@lemuelcasillas7572 3 года назад

I was wondering if you could do a video on the financial process for the purchase of the RV. I’ve been looking and I’m amazed at the variances of prices on similar Rv models. I had come across MHSRV prior and like the prices, but had never gone through the process. I don’t need your specific numbers but information like finance rates, down payment, number of years financed. Etc would be great information. I’m pretty set on going through MHSRV thanks for the earlier video on how that went. Love your rig.

@EECCTravels 3 года назад

I am not sure we would be good at making a video about this. But if you email me I will be happy to answer your questions. alisa@eecctravels.com

Belated Welcome to Florida . I live on the west coast about an hour northwest of Tampa by the beautiful Gulf of Mexico and 5 miles north on US - 19 from Tarpon Springs , Florida . Wish I had known you were going to the Tampa RV show I would've loved to have met up with y'all . Pensacola is a big Military town .

@kristenselby7759 3 года назад

You hit that Baton Rouge MS river bridge at the perfect time. That bridge can get SO backed up.

@stephenbooth507 3 года назад

Agree small 1500 watt heater should keep it warm most nights, and if hardly any water at all in fresh water tank, you can skip hooking up water for overnites between destinations

@annew4259 3 года назад

Yeah!!! Pensacola is our favorite!!! With 2 adult kids now, we are living vicariously through you, we want to do the same!!!

@brianleblancart736 3 года назад

We ate at Shaggy's in Biloxi. The music was great, the ambiance, we ordered oysters and beer and had a bill of over $100. Still hungry, we stopped at Wendy's on the way home. Wanted to like it more.

@EECCTravels 3 года назад

Oh dang! I have eaten there several times and never had a bill like that.

I had so much fun on my trip with you tonight! I love Jason’s hat and brace free mouth. You pointed out a teardrop on your way back to your rig. That is what I own. She is Cherry red. Can’t wait to get back out on the road. Thanx you guys. 😎👏

@mypinkelephantlife3618 3 года назад

I'm so excited for you guys and am following to see how you like this unit. My husband found one local and I fell in love with it, but it was sold before we could get to it. I've been studying it and read some reviews that kind of scared me. I'm anxious to see how it goes with you guys. I don't always trust reviews as sometimes it's just people who are exaggerating issues and such. I love your enthusiasm and excitement and am so glad I found you as I was researching. I am confident I will learn a lot from you. I watched your video about your shakedown camping and I had to stop watching to tell my husband about the app for controlling the lights and heat and all. I want one of these so bad. Hoping another shows up in our area. Thank you for sharing so much! Love all your photos at the border signs. What fun!

@angelajoy9143 3 года назад

Omg I watched every single cruising video you did in preparation for our one and only cruise (to Alaska) that NEVER HAPPENED. My husband and I are both nurses and have worked NONSTOP for the last year and we actually paid cash for a motorhome last month to take on the road travel nursing together. Anyway...we live in Alabama off of I-10 -the last exit before you get to Florida (the one right after Buccees). So glad you got to come through (but 1 thing-the tunnel between Baldwin and Mobile is NOT cool when you live here.) We'll let that slide though--I'm just happy you're doing videos. Congrats on your RV purchase!

Hi guys. I am loving your Channel since I discovered you. Here in Aus we have Been told no International travel until at least 2022..We love travelling and especially cruising, no cruises either at the moment, so I have been enjoying watching your earlier stories and your cruises, Alaska is what we want to do some day, my eyes popped when I saw you bought a RV 😳😳as that is what we are thinking, I watched every second when you picked it up and showed us all through, and your travels in it so far, just awesome 😎. So thank you so much, that we can travel through yours and others like your channels eyes. All the best from Australia and me... ( ps.. I love Jasons hair cut ) 🙋🏻‍♀️☺️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺💙💙❌⭕️

Glad to see you guys are having so much fun and enjoying your new toy! You mentioned you test drove the Compass first, but bought the Gemini. From my short time researching the two models, I realized they're the same, like the Winnebago View and Navion. Why did you choose the Gemini over the Compass? Thank you.
