The weather continues to be great, 80s during the day and 60s over night with just a little rain.  Hopefully the clouds will hold off for the lunar eclipse tonight.  We heard the sonic boom from the space shuttle as it was coming in for a landing this morning.  We exercised  then shopped this mor

We made it to Club Naples RV Resort yesterday after lunch.  We got settled, toured the park and enjoyed the pool.  Craig and Janet stopped over after dinner.  This morning we went for a bike ride and then drove over to Craig & Janet's.   Craig was flying so we went to the mall and then back t

We are just outside Tampa near the intersection of I-4 and I-75 at a gigantic RV dealer and park.  The park has everyyhing you could want in an RV park, including free breakfast and lunch.  Because of an introductory offer for first time visitors, the stay was free, my favorite part.   On Valenti

This morning we walked around the park and visited with people.  Most of them are here for a month or more and consider this a hidden jewel with all the goodies the south waterfront has to offer less the traffic and the crowds.  After lunch we drove to Fairhope and down the east side of Mobile Ba

Yesterday Alesa pulled out her back slightly in the morning so she spent the day in a chair with ice then heat and rest.  It worked because she is mostly better today.  I went out to do some shopping, mail packages and watch some of the Hoama parade.  Try finding an open post office in Louisiana
