Thanksgiving Site

We enjoyed  a pot luck dinner with our Good Sam Chapter, the Sunset Ramblers on Sat.  It was good that those present were able to get together and enjoy the dinner.  We never seem to have a shortage of food.

We also had a booth for "beer pong" with no beer.  The Samboree had a Country Fair and everyone seemed to have a good time.  We were able to raise a little money for Boggy Creek and we were able to present that money and our scheduled donation plus 40 bears that we made on Sat. night.  We also enjoyed the music of "Sunday Drive" who Debby and I had the pleasure to enjoy at the North Carolina Samboree.  The drummer told a story about getting a "bib" and is shown with his "bib" on.  A good time was had by all at the Samboree.

We woke up to a car behind the rig with a man in it with binoculars.  He seemed to be spying on a site across the street.  I then noticed 3 County Deputies cars and later noticed 3 more on down the street our site was on.  I heard they were getting ready to make a drug bust in the campground.  They were gone by the time we left.
We then headed north toward NAS Jax RV Park.  When we checked in, we found out the they have raised the nightly fee by $5.00.  We are going to check to see if they can do that as we made our reservations at the old rate and that price was confirmed.   We did not get the site I was hoping for, which would allow us to have our Satellite, but we are in a nice site, very near the river.  I have added a  photo taken from our site.

We will be hear until our Good Sam Chapter Christmas Party at Kelly's RV Park on Dec 11th.  We will have Thanksgiving with the kids and get our medical appointments done while we are hear.  Of course, we have high hopes that the rig will finally be fixed tomorrow while we are here.
Y'all travel safe, and I'll type more later!

Another Moving Day

Well, today we moved from Port Charlotte to Eustis, FL.  We really enjoyed the Escapee Chapter 57 rally and are now at Southern Palms RV Resort for the Good Sam Samboree.  We will be here until a week from tomorrow.  After that, we are planning to head to NAS Jacksonville for 17 days and spend Thanksgiving with the kids.  I can hardly believe how the year has passed.  I guess life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes.  :)  We have an appointment with General RV to have the part installed on the slide out.  Hopefully that will fix the issue.  We now have a leak, water, but not sure if it is incoming or outgoing.  It seems to leak no matter what. I don't know if we will ask General RV to look at it or not, as they have not been very accommodating on the slide.  Anyway, we will make that decision when we get to it.  I'll enclose a couple of pictures of the Escapee Chapter 57 rally.  We like the park we were in, Harbor Lakes RV Resort.  It is an Encore park, and to date, we have not been very impressed with their parks, but Harbor Lakes is a VERY NICE Place.  If we are down that way again, we will stay there.
Harbor Lakes put on a very nice Veterans program that we enjoyed.

This is a picture of the Veterans present.  Even had some Canadian Vets (on the right side)

These are pictures of the sunset and full moon the night we arrived at Harbor Lakes. 

I have really treated Debby great this year!  Earlier this year I took her to Paris (IL)  and this trip I took her to Venice! (FL)  This is a picture of the pier extending out into the Gulf. 

Chapter 57 mascot is Sunshine Susie, on the left.  She travels with one rig for a year who reports with pictures where she is and has been.  This year she is traveling with Shrek!  It will be interesting to see where all she goes during the coming year.

Well, that's about it for now.  Y'all travel safe and I'll type more later!

Moving Day!

Well, it has been a while since I updated everyone, and what better time to do so, than on moving day.  We enjoyed 21 days at Thousand Trails Orlando, even though we had to boil water for 9 days while we were there.  We asked for, and were granted a late check out today so we could attend Escapees Chapter 57 monthly luncheon at Golden Corral in Clermont, FL.  We sure enjoyed seeing everyone and, of course got our moneys worth at Golden Corral!  When we got back to our site at Thousand Trails, we had a surprise.  The park ranger gave us a naughty gram for "late Check Out".  Debby called the office and got it straightened out.  Evidently the Ranger DID NOT see the late check out log.  After that, we headed to Port Charlotte and Harbor Lakes RV Resort.   It is an Encore Park and  seems like a nice park.  The sites we are in are LARGE sites.  I have enclosed pictures of the luncheon and the park.  We also got a nice picture of the almost full moon tonight.

We are looking forward to the Chapter 57 rally that will be held here this coming week.  When we leave here we will be headed to the Florida Good Sam Samboree in Eustis, FL.  Then back to Jacksonville area for the holidays!  We get to spend some time with the kids.  Y'all travel safe and I'll type more later!
