The pace is quickening. Time is running out. We're soon pulling up stakes and taking our motor-tent to new vistas. We've been four months here at Bella Terra and have enjoyed the great people and the beautiful facility. But wanderlust is rearing its adverturesome head again and we headed for two RV rallies in Georgia. We're not too savvy about these events so we really don't know what to expect. But ... what would be bad about getting together with a bunch of folks who like to do the same thing?
Our first stop will be in Albany GA. I think a quaint little spot on the map that is about 25 miles from where the first rally we're attending in Moultrie GA. Since I waited far to long to get reservations, it was the closest place I could get a site. We'll be in Albany about four days then move on to a resort just south of Perry Georgia where the big RV gathering is. Thousands they say, will be in attendance. I suspect we'll need knee transplants before this one is over. Lot of acres to see lots of stuff. We'll be there about four days then move on to Florida for a few weeks.
Anyway lots to be done before the coach is ready for the trip. Check the air in the tires, check the oil, check the water, fill the fresh water, empty everything else. Put away the lawn furniture, grill and outdoor lighting. Whew! It's wearing me out just thinking about it.
But is all will get done and with another powerful storm at our back, we hopefully get to our next desitination without any issues.
Oh ... and did I tell you about our friends Tom and Mary who stopped by on their trip from Phoenix to Florida. It was sure great seeing them. We all were invited to have a Mardi Gras party with another back-home couple John and Linda at their fantastic beachfront condo. Plans were dashed to see the big parade as a violent storm raced through the area with high winds, rain and a couple of tornadoes west of us. We did manage to slosh down a little vino and find our way to a local eatery to round out the evening. Mother nature may be fierce but when folks want to party ... look out.
Seeing back-home folks is a real treat for us. The old adage ... 'absence makes the heart grow fonder' couldn't be truer. Sharon and I are so fortunate to have just a great group of friends. We appreciate each and everyone of them.
Still livin' the dream and gettin' ready to see what's over the next hill.
Phil
ps ... looking forward to see my friend Jerry quickly recover from surgery and waggle his wings on a South Haven flyover
