Hyundai Santa Cruz, Our New Fun Truck/SUV

American Press Travel News–Bob and Barb “On the Road Again”–March 18th, 2023, Port St Lucie, FL.–As a youth I aspired to own and show off a nice red Corvette, yet my first car was a big beautiful red over white, 55-Chrysler, and I loved my first car at 16. Then after returning from several years in the Middle East and Central Africa,  my college car was a Volkswagen. It had a rag-top sunroof, so I could cast into the Connecticut River at the boat ramp and do my school studies, then after 4-years of school, I had a great Buick station wagon. Then during my trout farm years, in Vermont I had a ford truck, and Chevy Malibu, and over the years all sorts of different convertibles, hardtops, eventually SUV’s, and now a Hyundai Santa Cruz, little pickup-cum SUV. It has what I want today, a sun roof, covered truck box, great radio, and a modern, truly unique look, too! No, it doesn’t ride like a truck, it handles the road smoothly like a fine SUV. It can tow, and it can carry about anything I would want at my TN. farm, or shopping and cruising wherever I/we like. This is not a tech article so I am leaving out all vehicle specs and techs. I bought my new vehicle at Route 60 Hyundai in Vero Beach. I felt comfortable at this dealership, it helped that the actual owner visited us and was able to allow us to wheel and deal enough for me to bite the bullet and say yes to a deal I felt was fair and even a bit above the norm, in that I got what I asked for in price and unpaid for extras. One of those extras was a new $500 dollar hitch I wanted. Arron and Service Manager, Jeremy Hall really did me right! So, for now I can say that yes, I would deal with RT 60 Hyundai again and recommend them too. The dealership is located at 8575 20th ST. Vero Beach, FL go www.route 60 hyundai.com.

Moving to the Florida Keys? Why Not?

Reef and offshore fish that roam and live just offshore of the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico Shore, in Florida Keys.

American Press Travel News-July 13th,–Bob and Barb “On The Road Again” in the Keys–Our sons were brought up swimming, diving and fishing in the Keys. To our boys, paradise that even after they grew up, attended universities and college, the Air Force, was not forgotten. Often, the friends, acquaintances you make during your formative years, are lost as you set out into the world, making your own way in life. But, the Keys is a magnet for those children that grew up in paradise. The comradery has been so wonderful to see as parents. Good clean fun was always around the bend of Tavernier Creek, or Snake Creek or the myriad of coves and cuts through the mangroves of life.

Because we have gotten to know how excellent these people are in caring about the Keys, sellers, Keys visitors, and potential buyers, we have given them a place on our AmericanPressTravelNews.com. There brand is rooted in the communities in which their clients live, and they possess deep local knowledge that will help you make smarter, better informed real estate decisions.

Testimonials

David, Morgan and Derek helped me realize my dream of owning a gem property in Islamorada that houses my Boat Dealership and rental income.

T3 had our house under contract for 50K over asking in 24 hours, which we were amazed at. We were called to Military PCS from Homestead to California, and they sold our house, and had us at our new location in 30 days. Since one of them is retired military, they really understand the needs of transitioning, military families needs.

We called the team on a Friday morning while visiting from NJ and they showed us 3 homes and saved the best for last, which we now live and love our little piece of the Keys.

Fathers Day, Every Day Should Be Fathers Day

Son David and his daughter Elliana. Always and still a terrific father. 

American Press Travel News-Bob and Barb, On The Road Again, but remembering our dads. June 19th, 2022–What does it mean to have a dad, a true dad who gives of his time, not just his money, as a child is raised? Everything!!! A dad, and as an extension his parents, your grandparents mean a lot in the forming of a child to an adult in all stages of those formative years. The word “formative” is the operative word!

A child can grow up bereft of a true dad, but is definitely missing key elements in a healthy, mind forming benefit. We can go to the bible to see how important family is in molding a healthy individual, or not. Speaking directly, I, and research, and real world tells and shows us how damaging it is for individuals and society to have a person missing such an important component, as missing a huge portion of what family values incorporates into a persons makeup. This America has a huge amound of dead-beat dads. Family values are the only things that can turn America around. Only politicos that are real fathers and mothers, not grifters of the world should be duly elected by intelligent people!!
