Goodbye Louisiana Hello Florida

It was so quite when my ears turned on this morning...after being shut down for the nights sleep I so desperately needed. Yes I tried to hear something but nothing is all I heard. No...Wait Sherri is that you? I would have thought being in a crowded RV park like the one we are in there would be way too much noise...but it was quite and I just laid there enjoying the peace and tranquility.

Soon I was forced to get up and make the coffee. We both have to have that every morning to get started. Our whole system will not function without our coffee in the morning.

The plan was to head to the casino and drop some money in the slots. Last night was not the time to go gambling with the crowd they had in there we would have been forced to play machines we don't want to. But this morning it was clear and we got the pick of the machines. We only planed on staying for one hour so we had to strike fast and then run. Sherri was the first to hit it big and then later I pulled up the rear with my land slide win. I started off with $1.00 and walked away with $11.80...Last of the Big Time Winners.

We loaded up our winnings in the casino armored van and headed back to the RV Park. I had to stash all that cash and then dump and hook up. Sherri sucked the sides in and got everything loaded into the truck and before we knew it we were on the road. We headed down I49 all the way to I10 and then East on I12 across Louisiana Mississippi Alabama and finally crossed the line into Florida. I have been praying all the way down that no one would try to damage my trade-in. I am especially careful with driving and parking now that we are in all this big city traffic.

We stopped at two Fly J's and one Pilot for fuel on the way down and found out that now you have to pay for your fuel before they will turn on the pump? Now how much fuel do you need when you come in to a station. What happen to "Filler-up"? They said if you guess and you don't need as much as you paid for they credit it back on your account. Well We will see.

We had planned on staying at an RV park just outside of Holt Florida but Sherri found one right off the Hwy that was closer so we ventured in to check it out. Now mind you their Web Site said they were an exclusive resort. OK if this is a resort of any kind I am an Arab Aviator. On to the next park and it turned out to be OK for a one nighter. They have grassy pads and shade but not too many 50 amp sites. We had to get a 30 amp but for one night we could manage.

Sherri and I sat outside while our dinner was cooking inside. We met our next door neighbors from Michigan. We visited with them for some time and then we went in to eat and read some emails.

Over all we had a great day and saw many sites along the way that made us want to come back to this part of the world...
