Travel Day to Camp LeJeune, NC

   We got up at 6:00 to do all the final preparations to leave Jekyll by 7:30.  Well, "best land plans"... we didn't leave until 7:45.  (I think John always leaves a little "wiggle" room because I have some trouble sticking to schedules)!  We stopped for gas at Shell near I-95 because we had $.18 off per gallon thanks to Winn Dixie purchases.  We paid $1.74/gallon, but we could only get 20 gallons.  We'll fill up in SC where gas is even cheaper!  We needed to return the table we bought at Camping World , so we headed toward the CW in Savannah.  Well, that was a mistake!!  It was very small and the flow of traffic was awful!!  We had to wait a half an hour just o move because of a traffic jam. Don't ever go there with your motor home... it's impossible to maneuver!!  We stopped for gas at a Flying J at Exit 77.  They had pumps off to the side just for RV's...gas or diesel!  They even had long-handled squeegees to wash your windshield!  It was so easy!!! And gas was only $1.81...$1.78 with our Good Sam $.03 discount.  And the best thing of all...Cinnabons!!!!!  John's coffee was good, too.  Back on the road and we really didn't hit any traffic until about 3:30 in NC.  I talked to Mom and Bonnie.  Everyone is doing well!  We pulled into the Camp Lejeune CG at 5:00..about an hour later than we had hoped.  And guess what... our steps would not come down.  We just had them replaced about a month ago.  UGH!!  I guess it could be a lot worse.  We DO have a ladder we can use to get in and out.  It's just so darn inconvenient!  We had hoped to go over to the beach to look for sharks teeth after we got here, but it took a while to check in and until we got all set up it was almost 7:00.  The sharks teeth hunt will just have to wait until tomorrow.  We were also disappointed that Claudia and Larry weren't here.  I actually hadn't heard anything from them the last 4 days, so I was a bit concerned.  I texted her and she said they were considering buying a new motor home and had spent the last few days working on that.  But in the end they decided to keep theirs.  She said they were coming but it wouldn't be until Sunday.  We are looking forward to spending time with them and getting to know them better!  We planned on having spare ribs for supper, but they were spoiled, so we had a ham slice, mashed potatoes, and veggies for supper.  It was yummy!  We watched just a little TV and then went to bed.  We were both exhausted!  Sorry, no pix today.
