First Landing State Park, Virginia Beach Review- Episode 91
If you get a chance, RVing at the First Landing State Park in Virginia Beach is well worth the time.
It is amazingly diverse with Cypress swamps, Spanish Moss, wildlife, miles and miles of walking and bike trails. But making it unique is the RV camping sites are right by the beach on Chesapeake Bay, adjacent to home of the US Joint Expeditionary Force training base. The beach is wide and clean and fantastic. Swim, kite surf, or just sit and watch all the Naval ships and amphibious training that seemed to go on every day.
This has to be one of the most diverse State Parks in the country. You feel like being in wilderness, yet are only minutes from major shopping areas in Virginia Beach.
Give it a try and leave a comment with your thoughts.

Air Station Elizabeth City rescues two at sea
The Coast Guard rescued two people Sunday who were reported missing after their 21-foot fishing boat sank approximately a mile west of Kiptopeke State Park.
Rescued were Bonatacio Montalvo, 64, of Machipongo, Virginia, and Jose Rosales, 27.
Eduardo Montalvo swam to shore and called 911 dispatchers, who relayed the distress to Coast Guard Sector Hampton Roads watchstanders at approximately 3:25 a.m. reporting two people aboard the boat he was on were missing after the boat sank at approximately 9:30 p.m. Saturday.
Sector watchstanders issued an urgent marine information broadcast and dispatched crews aboard a 25-foot Response Boat - Small from Coast Guard Station Cape Charles and an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, North Carolina. A Virginia Marine Resources Commission boat crew also responded to assist.
The Jayhawk crew located Bonatacio Montalvo, who also swam to shore, at approximately 4 a.m., hoisted him into the helicopter and took him to Sentara Norfolk General hospital.
The Jayhawk crew returned to the search area where they located Rosales approximately two miles west of Kiptopeke State Park at approximately 7 a.m., hoisted him into the helicopter and took him Sentara Norfolk General hospital.
All survivors were reported to be suffering from hypothermia, but no life-threatening injuries were reported.
The fact that these men were wearing life jackets greatly increased their chances of survival, said Petty Officer 1st Class Thomas Barbay, an operations unit controller at the Coast Guard's 5th District Command Center.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
