Gulf Shores, Alabama:  I stayed the entire month of November at an Escapees Club RV Park between Foley and Fairhope, AL.  It was about 30 minutes north of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, AL which are on the Gulf of Mexico.  Within a day or …

Natchitoches, LA.  How would you pronounce this city name?  Here it is: Nak-i-tush!  So why didn’t they just spell it that way? I had wanted to stay in this town but had to cut it out of the itinerary, so I spent a sunny fall …
