The Long Trip to Port Aransas, Texas


Well on Feburary 16th (2008) I packed up my RV and headed for Port Aransas, Texas. Why Port Aransas, Texas? Well Port Aransas, Texas is known for having lots of sun (yearly average of 72F) and beautiful beaches. However my main reason for going to Port Aransas, Texas was for the wind. The wind is a must for the new sport that I took up called Kiteboarding. More about that later though. I also have friends in Port Aransas that are kiteboarders/jetskiers as well. Khan and Julie are the ones who got me into kiteboarding and informed me about Port Aransas.

Well the trip down took three and a half days. I didn't have many troubles excepts for a thermostat on the RV sticking and the insane prices of gasoline. I had to take an alternate route once I got near Memphis. Just west of Memphis, from southern Canada down to the top of texas was a huge storm. They were calling for high winds and there were all kinds of tornado warnings. So I decided to head south to Baton Rouge instead of heading west. It was a couple hours longer this way but I probably would have lost a lot more time if I went west towards the storm. All in all it was a boring trip to take alone but it was pretty relaxing.

Once in Port Aransas, Texas I stayed about two weeks and did a lot of Kiteboarding with Khan and Julie. For those two week I parked the RV right on the beach in Port Aransas. Most of the time I was the only RV on the whole beach. Well Thats enough for now. Please be sure to check out the ads I posted, it really helps me out.
