Still in Florida but heading for home




Nov 30 – We all went parasailing. It was pretty windy and they didn’t really need to move the boat for us to fly high. It was so windy they didn’t want to send anyone up by themselves so we all went tandem. First Val and Gary went then Maggie and Val went. Lucky Val got to go twice. Check out the photo.

We are currently in Tampa. We’ve been here for a few days. Some friends told us about this place called Lazy Days and that we just had to go. It’s 150 acres of RV park, pool, spa, tennis courts and more. It’s also a RV dealer and repair facility; reportedly the largest in the country. We were told that they sell 350 new and 250 used RVs in the average month. In January, their biggest month, they expect to sell over 600 new coaches. Believe me, that’s a lot.

A couple of days ago Gary received a phone call at 0530 to verify an attempted purchase from a firm in England. He said WHAT? He also said NO and immediately called their credit card company and told them about the call. As it turns out, while we were in Key West, someone got their credit card info and began charging. The creep attempted to charge about $1800 but did not succeed on most. They won’t be liable for any of it but the credit card company turned off their credit card. Arggghhhh! The upside of this is that Maggie will be paying for everything for the rest of the trip.

We’re leaving in the morning headed northwest. We hope to be home in about a week. We look forward to seeing all our friends in the San Antonio area again and sharing some of our favorite stories from our trip.
