Count Down

Only a short 12 days left until we leave Rainbow Village in Largo Florida and start our great spring ~ summer ~ fall adventure. We are so looking forward to it and of course we have waited til the last minute to get everything done for departure. I have spent 2 days spring cleaning the inside of Tassie ~ washing the walls down ~ cleaning the ceiling (dirt accumulates there even up there just going down the road) ~ polishing cabinets and cleaning them out ~ purging stuff out that we no longer use or never used (boy does that stuff build up). The only thing left inside is to shampoo the rug ... Ralph is busy outside cleaning out the bins underneath (same thing with gathering stuff we never use out there too), washing & waxing the coach and checking all the important things like fluid levels, tires, batteries ~ you know all that guy stuff that keeps us moving down the road happily!!! She is 7 years old now and we need to keep her pretty because we'll be using her a long time....

We will be heading up to North Florida and spend a few days with friends up there on their farm... then from there we will head up and start our adventures in Georgia finding places and things to explore... Also go back to visit one of my favorite cites ~ Savannah!!! Been there several times BUT it never loses its southern charm for me. So once again after staying here for 6 months ~ I'll have good stuff to share with you all. When you stay in the area you grew up in ~ it is hard to find stuff to blog about and after fulltiming for 8 years I pretty much have posted about all the things around here.

When we come back next November we will be staying in Crystal River ~ after much debate and thought we have decided to move our winter residence up to Rock Crusher Canyon RV Park... we are kinda tired of all the congestion & traffic in Pinellas County. We will still come down and stay with our daughter from time to time and also all our doctors are here so we will need to come and get check-ups also. Crystal River is only about a little over an hour north of where we stay now ~ so it won't be too bad coming down when we need to.

I want to say THANKS to Roger & Diane for visiting my blog ~ I hope this is the beginning of a great blogger friendship. You can go visit them at Travel with Whippets and see all the fun they are having.
For now it's time to sit back ~ enjoy the sunset!!!

Have Fun, Travel Safe & Stay Healthy!!!

  1. It is always exciting to get ready for a new travel adventure!! We look forward to traveling along with you two and enjoying the sites via the blog/pics!!
    I know what you mean about not finding anything exciting to blog about when you've been in the same place for a lifetime (it seems). Hopefully we will be able to travel more in the very very near future!! Thats our plan!!

  4. I remember doing that same deep cleaning and purging last August. It really does take a while and it is surprising how quickly it gets dirty again. It's a hard life being a fulltimer :)

  5. Exciting! New things to blog about. New things to read about for us. Hope you have a great time. Everyone seems to like Rock Crusher. I'm assuming you read Jeff and Barbie's blog - he is the DJ at Rock Crusher. Nice people.

  6. How fun to be on the move again - we aren't heading out until May. And don't forget, a lot of us haven't been following along with you for eight years so a repeat once in awhile is good for us.

  7. Looking forward to having you "in the neighborhood" next winter. Enjoy your travels 'til then. We'll be following. If you get up in the NE GA area, stop by and see us in Dillard! We'll be there mid April thru Halloween except for some short journeys.

  8. Yes, what Sandie said. Besides, most of us travel bloggers are older and you know how the memory goes! Have a wonderful time in your travels and I'll be looking forward to reading your adventures.

  14. I know the feeling on wanting to get moving. We're on the move on March 29, we thought we'd meet up but it's not going to happen. We're getting the RV looked over then on our way (only if something is major wrong will we stay long). We'll see you next year.

    Safe travels.

  15. Can't believe that Tassie is 7 years old, she looks brand new!

    Goes to show that TLC makes motorhomes happy.

    Good luck getting ready for your next great adventure, we'll be following along. :c)
