FTJ, Entry 133: Feeling Fine in Fort Myers Beach

We continue to really enjoy this RV resort. (I do have to clarify that the "feeling fine" description is perhaps overstating it in my case. My back is a mess after the move and cleaning, etc. Chiropractor, here I come.)

Anyway, the people have continued to welcome us with open arms and we will be sad to leave them. And the weather -- perfection every day so far. That's 23 straight days of sunny weather, most days in the 70s, the last week in the 80s. Amazing.

Some photos from our stay and our new RV experience:

Harvey on his last run, to the dealer. Bye, Harvey -- you were GREAT.
I did get a bit misty eyed saying farewell.


Old and new. Well, new to us.
Our salesman, Todd.
Beau is ready to go.

Moving day -- what a nightmare.
Settling in.

Our neighbors certainly have a lot of cocktail parties. At the first one we attended, we were telling people about our new diesel pusher (we had yet to bring it into the park), and lo and behold, the couple who had our Dutch Star were AT THE PARTY.  Beau and I spoke to the husband and wife separately and found this fact out nearly simultaneously. WEIRD coincidence -- but handy, in that Ed, the former owner, has been invaluable in helping us adjust to (and solve issues with) the much more complex rig.

Fuzz, Ed Buck, Beau, and Ed Gilmore, the former owner of our "new" coach.

I was talking to Bev, on the right, while Beau was talking to her husband Ed (above) and we both found out they were the former owners. Too funny.
PARTY TIME

The fellow in the hat is Lee, who is in the site next to us. His wife, Dawn, is wearing the black top in the background. Very nice couple.

Joan, on the right, is a dear lady from Cape Cod, married to Ed Buck.
 
Ladies corner.

The sky was filled with birds that night -- migration? Not sure.

On Saturday there was a chicken BBQ and a pool party at the resort clubhouse. Fun day. Good food, good music, nice people, perfect pool day --  in the mid 80s.



Tiki Bar action.

Loving it here.

 Tanks, Panky
