Our Feline Friend Continued His Adventure
A Cat Friendly Pit Stop in Ocala, FL
On Saturday, February 5, we drove to the Best Western Hotel Ocala beside the highway in Central Florida for the night before continuing our journey to our next destination, Miami, FL.
After checking in, I briefly walked around the hotel, stretching my stiff legs. We brought leftovers, so we didn’t have to leave the room. We chilled the rest of the evening while Hemmes enjoyed our company
Our fellow adventurer was doing well and was just a happy “purring” camper relaxing on his blanket!
Hitting the Road Again to Miami, FL
We left at 10 a.m. the next day and arrived in Miama, FL, around 3 p.m. This Airbnb is remodeled, and again, everything is brand new. We can hear the street noise, though, a common trade-off for being in the heart of a metropolis. We have two long weeks to explore the city and the area.

Also, praise where praise is due! After exactly one month, Hemmes shows he is an adventurer and an experienced traveler. He is a happy “purring” camper when we are driving to our new destination.
We found a routine he is comfortable with. While driving, we always open the carrier when it is placed in front of my seat. He gets restless when the top stays closed. I also cover him with his own blanket. This way, I limit his view; he doesn’t like trucks passing next to us or viaducts above us. Once in a while, he wants to sit on my lap. Again, I keep him covered under his blanket. When we eat something, he gets a treat as well.
