RE: Having Fun in the Sun!

Up until last Thursday I was in shorts and flip flops. It's really cold here in south Texas right now, but they tell me it's a once in 20 years event. No big deal! We sill like it here!

RE: RGV

Welcome to Rockport! We used to be Winter Texans and decided to move here about 5 years ago! Make sure to take a trip to PINS past Port-A!
Thanks. Our first winter here but we purchased this piece of property to park our MH on. The weather here sure beats a NY winter. We've just been getting settled into the area but looking forward to getting out a little farther to experience the area.

RE: RGV

You will find that the people here are very nice. Unlike Florida where they merely tolerate Snowbirds. Here in the Riogrande Valley, they welcome you.
This is exactly why we chose Texas instead of Florida. I've had people pull up to me in a parking lot, roll down the window and say "welcome to south Texas". Out of the clear blue when they see my out-of-state license plates.

RE: RGV

you would likely want to allow more than one day there are approximately 400 RV parks and retirement communities in the valley. going from Brownsville and South Padre island all the way to Palmview and beyond.
We just want to visit the area. Not looking for a park.

RGV

We are in our 1st winter in Texas, staying in the Rockport area. We'd like to maybe make a day trip to the valley and see what that's all about. I'm wondering if we can get some ideas from the veterans of the RGV as to what's interesting in the area and maybe what to avoid. Thanks.

RE: Any one else giving up snow birding due to the covid

We arrived at our winter sport in the Coastal Bend of Texas a little over a week ago. We have a spot all to ourselves, so no immediate contact with others. No different than back home. We just use the normal amount of caution when going to the store(s) and everything is fine. We've waited many years to finally get to do this, so here we are. Be safe everyone!!

RE: Any one else giving up snow birding due to the covid

We are outta here in 9 days!
I have waited years to get to a point where we can do this and will not be denied. We will take all necessary precautions and have a piece of property to ourselves, so it shouldn't be much different than here at home.

RE: Snow Birds ??

I recently retired in April and the wife will in August. We have waited many years to fulfill our dream of migrating south in winter. We will definitely be heading to Rockport, Texas in the fall.
