  • One of the great things about full-time RV life is that we can stay somewhere as long as we want to. We are still experimenting on how long we stay at each location. Recently, we stayed on Galveston Island for a month. Having a longer stay allowed us to live like a local and experiencing a few places and things that we never had before. So in this video, we take you along as we live like a local in Galveston! We are loving the flexibility we have as full time RVers!

    Hey y'all! Thanks for joining us on this experiment of living like a local! The flexibility that comes with full-time RV life is one of the things we are enjoying most. We'd love to know how long you like to stay at the places you visit. Or what do you enjoy most during your trips. We always look forward to hearing from you. So please leave us a comment! (And Happy Mother's Day!)

    My boyfriend just got a Jeep. He said that we're gonna be going to Galveston a lot more because he loves beach life like I do. I also been looking in campers to take along with us. I plan on making an actual channel for our trips. Galveston is one of my favorite locations and I love the island. Loved this video 💖

    Historic Galveston and its architecture is the main reason we spend time there every year. Our favorite burger place is The Spot (go up-stairs thru the attic to the deck) also we're a fan of Shrimp N Stuff too!

    • @rvamericayall

    Star is such a good girl. I've seen some hilarious dog reactions to booties. She took it stride. When Tom said it was hilarious in the. Beginning of the video, I was expecting something totally different. The first few steps in the rig were funny, but that was it! Good girl Star! Jayman...

    • @rvamericayall
      @rvamericayall  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    We stayed in Galveston for about 4 months over winter. Your video made us a little "homesick" for the island...will probably return this winter. We stayed at Stella Mare. May I ask if you prefer Jamaica Beach?

    • @rvamericayall
      @rvamericayall  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Jim! We like Stella Mare also. Nice folks there and a clean park that’s very convenient to everything in Galveston. Jamaica Beach is a little more removed from the hustle and bustle of the town, but has some nice amenities like a putt-putt golf course, indoor hot tub & lazy river. It is family owned and operated. We like both parks.
