I'm Baaaack!!

I promised I would try to do better with the day to day on the blog this trip but it just didn't happen. We have been visiting friends since we left Emerald Isle and didn't have a decent wi-fi until we bought a verizon card at the FMCA rally in Perry Ga.

Our travels have taken us to Myrtle Beach/Pawleys Island area to visit Dick and Tharleen Kinsey (a former Bard colleague and his lovely wife). We then moved on the Hilton Head to visit former Snellville Ga. neighbors and world class pinochle players (Steve and Kathy Strelcheck).

We then moved on to Perry Ga. where we attended The Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA) International Convention with Chip and Barbara Massa (RV friends that we met last year in Salt Lake).

After Perry we spent three days exploring St. Augustine Fla. before we moved on to "The Villages" in central Florida to visit former neighbors from Amherst NH (Tom and Mary Ellen Quinn) who own a vacation home in this marvelous place.

Today we moved on to Ft Lauderdale to reunite with Chip and Barbara for some fun on their home turf. When I get the time I will post some pictures from each of our visits and give a brief outline of the campgrounds and the areas we visited.

It has been marvelous rekindling old friendships and getting to know our new friends. We have also been using this trip to explore other areas of the East Coast that we might consider for our retirement home. We love Emerald Isle but we owe it to ourselves to check other areas out. With our wonderful children on opposite ends of the country we could live almost anywhere.

I will start tomorrow with an overview of our SC visits. It is great to be away from the cold I wish we didn't have to go back.

Lovin Life!!

Bill and Eileen
