We will be in Florida until mid-January
So let's start with the good. We had a wonderful 3 days at Disney. We decided to visit the Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and EPCOT. We went to Animal Kingdom on a Sunday, which was crazy busy, but the other days were manageable. Nobody does it like Disney.
Many RV folks love to decorate, especially for Christmas. Here are a couple of fun RVs at our current place. We are still working on our outdoor decs.
Now, for a couple of challenges we've had.
First, a while back Johnny had a toothache and went to the dentist in Charleston. You guessed it- root canal. Both the root canal and crown are done in 2 appointments each. Since we had future campground reservations in other cities, we had to drive back and forth a couple of times to get all the dental work done. Johnny had very little pain throughout the whole thing. By the way, we went on the Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield website to find providers that were in network and close to our RV parks. All things considered, we feel like we got off pretty easy.
As mentioned in previous posts, we have had problems with coach power since we started. We had it looked at and repaired several times along the way. Finally, we had our inverter replaced in Kissimmee. Glad I got the extended warranty on the RV!
A few days later we were still having problems so we had all 6 coach batteries replaced too. Seems like things are much better now, but it took quite a bit of time to get this all done.
While the RV was being repaired, we were driving the Jeep on the highway and a small stone hit the windshield. CRACK! So the day we were leaving Kissimmee for Clewiston, Johnny took the Jeep in for a new windshield and the repair guy replaced the batteries. All before noon. We unhooked the water and electric, pulled in the slides, raised the levels and took off for South Florida. Whew!
I've forgotten to mention some funny stuff that's happened too- no photos available on these either.
While on the highway with the RV we missed our exit (bad navigation by yours truly) and had to take a side road to turn around. Somehow we ended up in the middle of a roadblock. The police officer was chuckling as he approached and asked us what we were doing on that road. He gave us directions to get us back on the highway. Of course after we drove off, Johnny was yelling - "you'll never take me alive!"
A few weeks ago Johnny was in the shower getting ready a day of sightseeing. All of a sudden I hear - "um, what happened to the water"? The water to our coach had been cut off! After checking our water hook up, I called the office only to find out that a water main had broken. Luckily, we had some fresh water in our tank so Johnny could finish his shower. Lesson learned: always keep a few gallons of water in the fresh water tank.
Looking forward to karaoke and bonfire at the Tiki hut here at the campground tomorrow night!
