Day- 16
Okay, normal morning, walking the dogs and just looking around. At noon we went to town to find a hot spot so we could connect to the internet and check email and whatever else we wanted. Drank coffee and surfed the net for about two hours. Found a Wal-Mart to restock pet supplies and a few odds and ends for us.
Back at the RV park we walked the dogs, ate, watched television and talked about were we will be heading next. Only thing we know at this time is we will try going a bit further south in Fl.. Will try checking for RV park/sites tomorrow.
Day- 17
Mornings seem to have developed into a Patten, wake up, feed cats, walk dogs, feed dogs, and have breakfast. After that is when things change, today it was doing the ever fun wash you dirty cloths time.
By the time the laundry was done it had warmed up enough outside to give the small dog a much needed bath. This was lots of fun, we still do not have hot water so could only use cold and had to use gallon jugs refilling as needed. He did put up with it very well, only tried to escape four or five times. Took him for a walk to dry him off, and he just ran wild as much as the leash I use allowed.
Well we have returned to the hot stop to once again check emails and search for the next RV site. I think I will wait to update the blog until tomorrow or the next day.
After checking email and doing some surfing we left the coffee shop to go look for some shorts. Walked around the strip Mall we were in going from shop to shop looking for shorts that cost less then the price of gold and would fit a lady over the size of a 2… Seems this is not an easy task when you are in the land of skinny folk. But just when we were about to give up, we found a pair that would do nicely. So now if the temperature gets over 70 we have shorts to were..
After the shopping trip we went and purchased food , drinks and ice, before heading back to the Park for the night. Tomorrow we head for the last stop on this trip before heading home.
Day- 18
Here we go, same morning routine, wake up, feed cats, walk dogs, feed dogs, and have breakfast. However today we pack up and move on to the next location. Headed to Ocala Fl. For our final stop before going back to Ky. I thought we pulled out at 08:10, only to find out when we fueled that it was already 09:10. The drive takes at least 5 hours by car so we estimate it would take us at least 8 hours.
Next stop is a Flying J to get fuel and eat lunch. When we sat down I made a phone call and noticed that the time showed 13:10 pm. This confused me more because I thought it was only 12:10, so now we have lost two hours somehow. I figure the first hours we lost was just looking at our clock wrong, and the second hour was the time zone change, but that does not help when you are trying to get someplace before it closes. At this point I called the RV place we were headed to and let them know we were behind schedule but on our way.
For the second time this trip I got to drive, so that helps to pass the time. Driving again reminded me of how much I enjoy driving on the open road and started me thinking about going back to it.
Had to stop for fuel again and this time before we wanted to. As luck would have it the place we stopped had the highest prices in Fl $3.45 a gallon… When we started this trip just over two weeks ago you could still get gas for $2.99, now the cheapest is $3.19. How high will it go??? LOL…
Made it to the Park no problems other then it was further then expected… Place is small but clean and the people here are very nice. When walking the dogs had more people talk to us in 15 min then the entire time we spent in any of the other places. Also noticed the campers and RV’s here are older and less expensive then the other parks we have been to. Seems the people here are just plan folk, I like that and feel more relaxed here then any other place. Now to see if the first impressions last, tomorrow will tell..
