We hear that's what happens when it's time to leave the Keys and you're just not ready to go.
In response to Denise who asked about renting a campsite by the water for a month at a time, sure! It's only $5000 a month for your own 6 x 10 slab of concrete!
We left the Keys in the rain on Monday and when the RV repair place couldn't fit us in until Wednesday we talked Redland Golf and Country Club in Florida City into letting us sleep in their parking lot. Of course it meant we would HAVE to golf at their club on Tuesday morning, dang it all. They were incredibly accomodating. When we arrived after their kitchen had closed the bartender made us salads for dinner. When Mike whined about us not being able to pick up his favorite TV stations from their parking lot, they invited us to feel at home on their screened in patio...just turn the lights off when we leave.
We were finally able to let Peanut and Pepper run free for an evening, though neither of them liked the temperature in the pool and decided to join us for "24".
Before going to bed I was able to hit 100 balls at the driving range steps from our coach.
The course itself was not quite worth the $32 we paid to play, but free accomodations and incredibly gracious hosts made the experience wonderful for us.
About the only thing you could hit on this course (besides other golfers) was this cellular tower.
We're holed up now at an RV repair shop in Ft. Myers and hope to be hooked up at a nice RV resort nearby later this week.
Until then next time, stay warm!
$5,000,......hmm....maybe they meant per year?? Well, I guess paradise does come at a high cost! Hey, maybe you can train Peanut and Pepper to do tricks and earn their keep! Peanut does the stuffed dog trick on the couch, right?
Drive safely!
Love you
Denise
