The One About Settling in at TT Orlando After a very lazy Sunday morning, and goodbyes to our MidLows friends, I easily dumped my holding tanks and Kathy and I pulled out of Old Mill Stream RV Resort and headed south to Thousand Trails Orlando (which really is in Clermont, go figure.) Over the river and thru the woods on many back roads, and a wrong turn by me trying to find a Petco, we easily made it to the TT chaos by noon. There are 800 sites at this campground. Unless you contract for the ‘season’ most guests do the TT shuffle, 2 weeks in, move to another place, or 2 weeks in, 1 week out, then back in. From early morning until 2 pm every day, the registration area is mobbed with big rigs ... read more

Sea World Day We decided to meet at 9 am and head to Sea World for a few hours. You can buy a daily ticket plus $8. And get unlimited access to Sea World for a year. Sounded like a deal to me so after buying my ticket Kat, Ginnie and I headed out to the Pet’s Ahoy! Show . We took our time getting there seeing all kinds of bird exhibits and just the magic that is the world they have created. It was a hot morning, in the 80’s already and we planned to only spend a few hours as we all had to get back to let our dogs out, and we could go back anytime to see more. It took about 30 min to get there and already the parking lot was ... read more

Getting settled It was nesting day. I put out the rug, set up the chairs and the sun was boiling hot already so I carefully opened the awning, put out the supports and installed the tie downs. I do learn my lessons! I was already sweaty and hungry, didn’t eat breakfast yet, when a man rode up on a bike and said Hi to me and got off his bike. Interesting, do I know you? It turned out he and his wife saw my rig in the line to check in and he rode all over the park looking for me. They are avid Pleasureway campers but had never seen a car being towed and wanted to talk about the camper with me. They had one for 8 years then decided to become full time campers. ... read more

Well, we are starting to wind down and pack up. Our winter vacation is over and we plan on hitting the road on Thursday weather permitting. As much as I LOVE travelling, I'm ready to go home. I REALLY miss my kids and grandkids!! A few of the things we did this month.....visited with our friends Cory and Sandy and they took us out for lunch for Jim's birthday (thank you Cory & Sandy). We also visited with our friends Dwight & Valerie several times and had a great time! (thanks Dwight & Val). I had never been to the Rainforest Cafe, so we went to visit 'Downtown Disney' which is loaded with Disney Shops and restaurants. On our way, we passed a business (couldn't tell you what it was, because we were across the busy ... read more

Feb. 29….. My friends Cory and Sandy (yes Rob, I have friends) have reminded me that they haven’t seen an update in a while, so here it is! We had thought that we might move to a different place in March….but have decided to stay at this same RV park. We did, however, move to a different spot within the park. The sites here are not too wide, and by the time we put out our ‘slides’ and our patio awning, we felt like we were right ‘on top’ of the neighbors; so we wandered around (the 1st week) and found an available site with more room and were able to move there. Plus...we are on the main road going in and out of the park, so we get to watch every RV coming and going. ... read more

Hi Everyone, Well we are home! The trip home was pretty uneventful. We did have a couple of days in the 90's before we left. I have mixed feelings about being home.....I miss the 'sunny in the 80's' days by the pool....but I am happy to see Spring in CT (and I get to see my grandson again). ( : I am attaching a few pics taken our last month in Florida. Some were taken at a boat show we went to with friends. Hope you enjoy them! Always, Linda & Jim... read more

Today is Monday April 19th. I'm already missing my best friends Birthday and who knows right now what else i could miss. I'm in the sunshine state of Florida spending time with my Mum and Dad and i am having a great time. I've lazed by the pool with my Mum, played Wii with my Dad and we enjoyed a wonderful 'Sofa Sunday'. The big news is the volcano in Iceland, my flight is due back to UK on Thursday for me to land Friday morning so i can say goodbye to so many wonderful friends and family on Saturday night. Today, Mum and i took a very good friend called Pat out for lunch. It was her birthday last week and 'Princess Pat' always celebrates for the month of April! So we took Pat to ... read more
