Gulfport Luxury RV Resort – November 6-9, 2025
The trip to Gulfport Luxury RV Resort was enjoyable, with activities like relaxing, sightseeing, and biking. While the weather was perfect, sunny and cool, it was great for outdoor activities that we enjoyed. When returning home, the weather would change, with a Canadian cold front arriving on Monday morning. We had to winterize this Airstream for the first time. Overall, this was not a big issue, but it did make us nervous: would we get it all taken care of properly?

We left early on Thursday morning to arrive at FOLEY RV for some warranty repair. Unfortunately, they had the wrong part and had to reorder it. When the correct part comes in, we will return. This is not a big deal since we do plan to return one more time this year.
We left around 6:15 a.m. The traffic wasn’t bad in the morning. The sky was beautiful. It’s my favorite time of the day to travel. One memory as a child was the morning sky and sunrise and the smell of coffee in the thermos. We didn’t vacation much growing up, and when we did, most of it was to Pensacola.
Parking was smooth and easy. Setting up and unloading the bikes and chairs wasn’t bad either. We ate gumbo for lunch. Jack rested for a minute, and I sat outside and sunned. Then we took off to see some of the sites we might do when Chris and Carey come in April 2026. We rode through Biloxi and Ocean Springs. We liked the Biloxi visitor center and downtown Ocean Springs.
We had hamburgers for dinner and enjoyed the weather eating outside. We returned early to watch some TV.
On our early arrival to Gulfport Luxury RV Resort, there were three Airstreams, and later in the afternoon we noticed there were only two. There must have been a late check-out on one of them.

Friday morning we were up early. It’s rather cloudy and not too cool. As the sun rises, it looks like a beautiful day is coming.
We got our walk-in and decided to wait until we ate lunch to go to the Infinity Science Center in Pearlington, MS. It is located next to the Welcome Center at Exit 2 off I-10.
Jack smoked the chicken for fajitas for dinner. It was very good. We had smoked wings for lunch, a nice change.
The weather is perfect for sitting outside. I have enjoyed sitting and being outside. It’s beautiful here.

Saturday morning we hung out until lunch and went to Lil Ray’s for a roast beef poboy. Then we came back and rode our bikes to Gulfport Marina about 4.5 miles away.
After returning, we sat outside for a long while. We ate in and then rode back to the beach to watch the sunset. When we returned, it was time to load the truck to be ready to leave on Sunday.
INFINITY Science Center, a non-profit museum, offers a self-guided experience blending space exploration, Earth science, engineering, and technology. In 2001, a non-profit foundation was formed to raise funds for a science center to replace StenniSphere. NASA partnered, dedicating 199 acres near the Welcome Center.
Despite Hurricane Katrina’s devastation, the Mississippi Governor’s Commission on Recovery recognized the INFINITY Science Center’s role in the Gulf Coast’s recovery and resumed planning. The state contributed $12 million to the museum’s construction.
Opened in 2012, the 70,000-square-foot INFINITY Science Center now features an education wing, artifacts, Earth and space exhibit galleries, theaters, and live programs. Inspired by real-life space and ocean exploration activities at nearby research labs, the educational exhibits draw visitors. INFINITY welcomes an average of 60,000 visitors annually, with the number steadily increasing.
We spent a couple of hours here and enjoyed the visit. It was amazing to see the Apollo 4 Command Module. It was launched on November 9, 1967, and was the first flight of the giant Saturn V launch vehicle.
Reaching an altitude of 11,234 miles, the unmanned flight of Command and Service Modules CSM 017 lasted 8 1/2 hours.
The Command Module reentered the atmosphere at 24,917 miles per hour and splashed down in the Pacific. The flight qualified the heat shield for lunar flight.
The S-1C-15 Stage is incredibly large and impressive.

Sunday morning we will both be up pretty early this morning, so we decided that we would just be prepared to leave. Jack says the outside takedown is so much easier in the 28-foot classic with the storage and power stabilizers, awnings. He has also added a new water filtration system and new water hoses that he’s very proud of. No more leaking. The travel home was good and smooth, with one stop in Hattiesburg for a quick break.
Arriving home, we knew that we were going to have to do some winterization on the Airstream, but we did not know that the freezing weather was going to come in on Monday instead of just on Tuesday. So that process, being the first time with the new rig, took a little longer just to make sure you got everything done properly. A lot of it was very similar to the flying cloud we had, but there were a few differences.
After arriving home, we started that process, which did not take too long, and then off to storage for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking forward to our next trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, with the South Carolina Coastal Airstream club.
