LNS in SW FL?

Hey Jill--

Delurking here....i see you are in NJ....can you recommend any LNS????

betsey (in south jersey, but travel the state alot)

I'd like to know of any LNS on the East Coast. We have a driving trip planned for August, and I'd like to visit a couple if I can. We'll be spending most of our time in Washington, and Florida, between St. Augustine and Cape Canaveral. Also, does anyone have any recommendations for campsites, etc.? Or ones to avoid? With the kids, either would be good to know. Thanks!

I don't "do" Florida so I'm not sure where the places you mention are located. I do know that there is a GREAT LNS in Port Charlotte -- my friend Valerie goes there all the time when she visits her MIL. I'm pretty sure it is called The Golden Needle. If Port Charlotte is doable for you and no one else mentions this LNS, let me know and I will get more info from my friend. Then again, you can always try to Google the name!! CiaoMeow >^;;^<

How far north you heading? There is a decent on in North Hampton NH and I'll bet one or two RCTN'r might meet up... C

I visited one in Winter Park a few years ago. It was small, but very well stocked. I think that's just outside of Cape Canaveral.

Hi Louisa,

We live in central Florida, but hate the summer six months there, and are curently in New Hampshire in our Motorhome. We are near Plymouth, and as far as I am concerned this is God's country.

Please email me off-line, and I will help if I can. DH and I despise florida ( we are retired, and don't need to go out and drive in the snow!). We have found a condo we would love up here, but need to sell the Florida house first! sigh!!! Please email me at gillmurray1 at verizon dot net. Our home is about 20 miles from disney! We used to live in Maryland,and are well acquainted with the east coast; especially as RVers.

Hi there Gillian, glad you are happily installed in NH, though it wasn't clear whether you were trying to sell your Florida abode to Louisa lol

I took my aunt and uncle to Plymouth and we went down to the spot and dipped our feet at Plymouth Rock having done so the other side too. We had an awfully good seafood meal down on the Woof - read wharf but that's how an old timer we asked recommends from said it. It was sort of a seafood McD's but very good.

Have fun!

I believe Gillian is talking about Plymouth, NH, not Plymouth, MA. The NH one is in the mountains. My step-father owned a place on the Woodstock/Thornton border that abutted the White Mt. National Forest. Beautiful up there.

Didn't know there were two relatively close together. I shall immediately look Gillian up to see where they are lol

Thank you all for your suggestions. I have checked out the website for The Golden Needle and am planning to stop there. Several people recommended it and it is only 45 minutes from where I am staying on Longboat Key. I wish I could go to Pensacola not only for the shop you suggest but also because I have a very dear friend who lives there and I haven't seen her in years.

Thanks again! jill in nj

The only Florida shops I know are further south, on the east coast. But, if you're in the DC area, please let us know - I'm sure that Donna & I can give you directions to a few shops. I had sent some to Allura when she was heading this way from NJ, and would happily do that for you.

We're pretty spoiled with good shops in MD & Northern Virginia - depending on your likes, preferences they each have some particular strengths that will call to you.....
