We are leaving Florida Wednesday April 1st which is probably a mistake. We don't have far to go, less than four hours, but route 95 will probably be a mess since the people like us who rent by the month will all be hitting the road that day to head north. Today we took down the visor, the lights and put up the awning. We cleaned the grill and the motor home tire covers, along with many other little things we needed to do to get ready to leave. The only thing we have to do is lubricate the hydraulic jacks and check the tire pressure in the motorhome tires.
After stopping in Richmond Hill, GA for a couple of nights we will hit Myrtle Beach for a week. Then we head over to Greenville, SC to see our oldest son and then head home to Warsaw with a night or two stay on the way between Greenville and Warsaw depending on how we feel.
We are coming back to Florida to the same park next year which is a first for us in the four years we have been retired. The town outside the park is so so but your not far from Orlando which is around 35 minutes away. We spend most of our time in the park and only go into town to buy groceries or eat out now and then. This place has so many advantages over other places we have been so we are coming back to our same lot since we like all of our neighbors in the site we are in.
Today I watched a $750,000 motorhome burn for about a half an hour. Apparently the electric toilet shorted out and caused a fire. The fire damage was limited to the bathroom but the smoke probably effected the entire motorhome. A cat inside the motorhome survived the fire by getting under the coach. The owners were out of town for the day. They fulltime in this so I am not sure where they will stay while the motorhome is being repaired. This particular couple has a great 1957 Corvette and a 1949 MG that are awesome cars. They store these two cars in garages away from the motorhome so they weren't damaged.
A journal written about life, retirement and our journey throughout the United States in a 5th wheel, along with our two Shih Tzus, Tanner and Syndey. Written not for notoriety but for our sons, family and friends, so they know where we are at any given time. And particularly for ourselves. Finally, we get to slow down and smell the roses and we don't want to forget any of it. You are welcome to join us as we go 'Down the Road a Piece'.
