Moving Day

   WOW!  It's hard to believe our 2 wks at Ft Myers Resort is up already!  We finished all the necessary preparation for putting the rig on the road again and said our goodbyes.  We will miss Gary and Mary Lou... they are such nice people and, of course, Charlie, their dog, too.
Gary, Mary Lou and Charlie.  We sure hope to see
 them again during our future trips!!

  Gary helped me to spot while John maneuvered out of our tight site.  Again, John did a fabulous job!  We were out of there by 9:15 and headed to the Target across the street where we hitched up the Jeep.  Then off to Rambler's Rest Resort in Venice about 1 and 1/2 hrs north.  Bonnie called to see how we did getting out of the resort because they have been there and know how tight it is.  They had just pulled into Pine Island for the next 2 wks.  We got to
Rambler's Rest about 11:30 and were able to get right into our spot.
The entrance to our home for the next 2 weeks
  However, that was easier said than done.  The spot was small and had palms and pines on each side, one was very low and had large leaves hanging down,  After John did a fabulous job backing Harvey in we realized that there would be no place for us to set up our rug, chairs and awning because of that low bush.  So we decided to pull it in.  The only problem with that was we probably wouldn't have enough sewer hose and we couldn't put the awning all the way out.  We figured we could buy more hose and live with the half out awning as opposed to the other way.  It took a few tries until we finally figured it all out, but we got it! 

That darn tree is in the way of our awning!


See how that bush on the left is right against our coach...
We couldn't have possibly set up our "patio" there!!
There are 2 other Fleetwood coaches right beside us and across from us.  We got finished setting up inside and outside about 1:30.  We set out to find a Walmart so we could pick up a sewer hose and for some other staples.  There was one just 10 minutes down the road!  There were some other good stores there, too.  I might have to take a trip over there on the next rainy day!!  When we got back we decided to take a nap and get ready for the Super Bowl party the CG was having tonight.  They are supplying subs from Subway, beer, wine, soda and everyone is to bring a snack to share.  We had a nice time, but it was a little noisier than we would have liked.  We also would have been happier if the Seahawks would have won!  When we got back John went to bed to do some reading while I worked on my blog post for a bit.  Then I went to bed.
