Alligators, Architecture, and the Atlantic Ocean: Huntington Beach State Park
I’m going to go ahead and admit something. I have never once in my life seen an alligator in the wild. I’m a little confused by this myself. I mean I’ve traveled quite a bit in my life, and a lot of that travel has been in natural environments with tons of wildlife. But somehow…no alligators.

Guest Blog: The Thrill Seeking Kiwis of Auckland and Queenstown
Here is the latest post from our guest bloggers John and Cathy, who recently returned from an epic RV adventure in New Zealand… * We were able to spend some time in two of New Zealand’s cities. Auckland, the largest city, is situated on the North Island and is home to the major international airport where we landed. The other city, Queenstown, is on the South Island. * The Kiwis are a thrill seeking and adventuresome people, so it is no surprise that bungee jumping, the practice of jumping off a high structure with a rubber band...
