Lazy Days Campground

1/19/2015

 
It is always fun to spend some time here at Lazy Days Campground. Lazy Days is the largest RV dealer in the United States so they have lots of new and used motorhomes to look at. They also feed us complimentary breakfast and lunch everyday.

The campground is very nice but we do need to leave the trailer in the front parking lot. The golf cart is coming in handy as we drive around the campground and across the street to the RV dealership.

We tried to arrange a test drive of the Winnebago Tour but one of the slideouts was broken, we have learned that this is a common problem with the Tour and is giving us second thoughts about owning one.

Lazy Days doesn't sell the DutchStar but there are two dealers in the area and we take a day trip to visit them. Pretty sure this will be our choice when it is time to buy.

Mom and dad came to visit one day and we took dad to BJ's Wholesale Club another day. He wanted some special pretzels that only BJ's sells. We used the opportunity to stock up on some groceries.

We'll be leaving here on Superbowl Sunday and headed to Kissimmee. We should get there early enough to set up and watch the game. GO PATS!

Tampa SuperShow

1/14/2015

 
We are at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa to attend the Florida RV SuperShow. This is the largest RV show in the United States and we will be spending the next 4 days working our way though it.

We are staying here at the RV SuperRally right at the show. The trailer is parked a couple fields away but the Cooper and the Golf Cart are with us and ready when we need them.

We are spending the next few days carefully researching the new motorhomes to try to narrow our choices. We don't expect to buy one now but maybe next year. In the process of our research we still like the Winnebago Tour that we chose last year, but there is a new motorhome that we like even more! It is the Newmar DutchStar and comes with 2 recliners in the living room just like our current unit. We'll see how this plays out but there may be a DutchStar in the driveway in 2016. (Ellen is just hoping that it's not 2015).

Next stop is Lazy Days Campground and 2 more weeks of torture looking at new motorhomes.

Lakeland Florida

1/12/2015

 
We had a great two weeks in Fort Myers Beach staying at The Gulf Waters Resort. It is a fabulous RV Park where the sites are individually owner and occupied by the owners. Very well maintained and features a nice pool area with a bar and cafe.

We are working our way toward Tampa and the RV SuperShow and SuperRally. In the meantime we have a couple days available to spend with Mom and Dad so we have chosen to stay at the Lakeland Carefree RV Resort just a few miles from where mom and dad live.

The campground is a little tight and full of year round and long term guests just like most of the parks in Florida. We have selected one of their larger pull-through spaces which is just long enough for Miss Adventure and her trailer. It is perfect and a nice relaxing place to be.

New Year's Eve - A New Beginning

1/5/2015

 
            A New Year and a whole new beginning.

            Here we are, New Year’s Eve in Times Square. No, not that Times Square! This is Times Square in Fort Myers Beach Florida. We are here with Ed and April along with Dave, Evelyn, Sue and Jack. In just two hours the ball will drop and the fireworks will begin. The excitement is already building for the thousands of people gathered here to welcome in the new year and a new beginning, It is a fitting time and place for the symbolic start of our new journey.

            It’s been 6 days since we hit the road, 4 days in the Motorhome, and just a few hours here at the beach. We’ll be here in Fort Myers until the middle of January and then move north to the Tampa area and then over to the Orlando area for the month of February.
