We are here!! Arrived yesterday (Dec 1) at 4:40 pm...more about the arrival later.
On Dec 1 awoke to birdsong and sunshine at 8 degrees in Tifton Ga.Got ready to travel...I dressed in my warmer pants to be comfortable at the start. Greeted people across the way who were also pulling out and heading to Florida....we wished each other a safe road trip.
Crossed into Florida about 11 am and stopped at the first tourist site where there was free juice and a friendly welcome...plus many brochures. I changed out of the warm slacks...temp was around 17 and sunny.
Lunched in Gainesville which took a bit longer than my husband expected...very busy place...then we continued down I 75 again.Smooth hwy...not much traffic,to me. Saw orchards (?pecan? and fruit), horse farms, small towns and lots of billboards. The sunshine felt so good and the temperature climbed to 22 degrees ( about 72 for US terms). Crossed waterways and passed by many rv camps. After one stop my husband was tense...wondering if we would be late to register at the rv camp...I so needed to get out and move but we kept an eye on the time and distance...the traffic was light...good roads except for one section...(good thing...the toilet paper wouldn't unroll again)
Arrived at camp after doing a crazy tight u turn...me following of course which made the move even wierder...we signed up at the gate and then would finish things today. Sooooo my husband got through the security gate...I didn't park close enough to reach with the card...so the gate person helped me out BUT by then my husband had driven off...I had no map and no idea what lane we were to park on...hey at least it was daylight still!!! Anyway I went one way...then knew I was getting lost...did another u turn and checked down lanes as I passed them...did see what looked like the rv's nose and then saw my husband ...whew we arrived.Some neighbours were out watching things...I think they were impressed with the solo backup job my husband did. We settled some things but couldn't hook into wifi til today.
Also last night, we celebrated living in the rv for one year!!! Tah Dah and we are still talking to each other.
This morning we have fully registered...I signed up for the choir!!! and we have done a walk about of the camp...though haven't looked at the island trail attached to this camp yet. There are lots of activities here and the people are welcoming.
Sunshine & Laughter
