Show Notes - Episode 24
- Welcome to New York -
Join Charlie and Jodi for stop 5 on their 2025 Summer Roadtrip in Episode 24 - Long Island, NY…because who doesn’t want to go to New York? Tune in to find out why this “drive day” actually became known as “survive day” as the excitement fades to angst in some pretty intense moments trying to pull their 35-foot Brinkley fifth wheel through BROOKLYN - yes…downtown Brooklyn, right down Atlantic Ave. This episode is full of both victory and defeat - will they make it through unscathed? Will #travelingscout get overstimulated? Will Jodi call 9-1-1? Are they part owners in the New Jersey Turnpike now? You’ll have to tune in to find out.
Once the dust settled, they went in search of a good lobster roll and found a great one - is it the G.O.A.T. in the world of lobster rolls? Where is this hidden gem? Oh, and not to mention melt-in-your-mouth calamari. YUM! After a quick bite it was on to explore the Fire Island National Seashore, complete with coastal deer and ducks, a whale skull, a lighthouse by the sea and so much more. Is it the trip of a lifetime? YES! In more ways than one. It’s doubtful they will forget this one anytime soon.
Headed to Long Island in your RV? They’ve got the low-down on how NOT to repeat the mistakes they made trying to get there (Shoutout to Camp Host Joe at Nickerson Beach Campground for drawing them a map).
If you’re in the mood for fun and fright - this is the episode for you!

IMPORTANT INFO - Traveling with your pet?? - At check-in we were required to show a complete vaccination record including up-to-date rabies vaccination (the rabies tag on your dog’s collar will not work). They will make a copy of your vaccination documentation in the office. Be sure to have your pet’s complete vaccination record - not just your rabies certificate.
OUT OF STATERS - We were required to show our vehicle registration for our truck AND our RV along with insurance coverage for both. - Luckily, we had just tagged our RV recently and the paperwork was in our console. I have never been asked for this in all of our travels.
