Story of Taps: A final bugle call
The 24-note melancholy bugle call known as "taps" is thought to be a revision of a French bugle signal, called "tattoo," that notified soldiers to cease an evening's drinking and return to their garrisons. It was sounded an hour before the final bugle call to end the day by extinguishing fires and lights. The last five measures of the tattoo resemble taps.
The word "taps" is an alteration of the obsolete word "taptoo," derived from the Dutch "taptoe." Taptoe was the command - "Tap toe!" - to shut ("toe to") the "tap" of a keg.

RV Vacation Destination Key Largo & FL Keys
Luxury RV travel may be the best kept secret in travel circles. No other method of seeing the world provides the security and convenience of traveling in a luxury RV. Beyond the independence offered, there are many other reasons to choose luxury RV travel over other methods: Avoid the hassles of airport security lines, missing reservations at hotels, and the "stopwatch" mentality of a group tour. Flying with small children or with pets can be a nightmare for all involved, but a luxury RV gives you room to move and more comfortable arrangements.
Heading to The Keys for your Florida vacation is an easy decision. The island lifestyle beckons, and during the late winter or early spring months, no other place in the USA can compare. To be sure, many other people have the same thoughts. This leads to crowded airports, overbooked flights, and difficulty in finding a suitable hotel. Instead of dealing with all of the negatives, focus on the positive. Allow your family to travel in the style and comfort you deserve.
