Driving to Miami for a cruise

Back in May, I booked a 9 night New Year cruise with Singles Travel International to the Caribbean. I decided to drive down to Miami instead of flying, which turned out to be a good decision after seeing the mess with flights, especially on Southwest Airlines over the Chrismas holidays. Since I am driving Millie, I planned to do some camping along the Gulf Coast after the cruise. It was pretty cold when I left in the morning on Dec 27. I stayed the night at a motel in St. George, South Carolina. Another long drive on Dec 28 towards Miami. I could not find an affordable hotel in Miami (rooms were $150+), so I camped at the Corps of Engineers' Ortona South Campground near La Belle, FL for $10 a night (discountered with the senior national parks pass). It was a small but very nice park, looked like good fishing waters near the locks. I arrived rather late and did not bothered to connect to power since I was staying a night only.

Had a good night's sleep before leaving for the 2 hour drive east to Miami the next morning.
