SOUTH FLORIDA

The nice thing about being retired, is most everything occurs at your own pace. By the time we had our coffee, updated the blog, walked the dog, unhooked our utilities, and hooked up the jeep, it was about 10:30 am before we hit the road. I drove south on US 27, which is mostly in the center of the state until you get farther south, near the Miami area. It was a nice drive, passing a lot of cattle ranches, sugar cane fields, swamps, and a few small towns. The best thing that happened was after a couple of phone calls to/from Dometic, our refrigerator manufacturer stepped up to the plate, and are going to replace our troublesome refer. We agreed to have the new one shipped to, and replaced at Lazy Days RV, just outside of Tampa, probably around Oct 1st. This isn't an easy job, and part of the dialogue with Dometic was for them to do some research, and recommend a place that can handle the job. Lazy Days advertises themselves as the largest RV Dealer in the country. When we were working the drag race circuit, we stopped at Lazy Days once, and it is a huge facility. We're keeping our fingers crossed that this all goes smoothly, in a little over a week from now.
We spent the night at an RV park in Florida City, after topping off the fuel tank at $2.47 a gallon. That's 40 cents a gallon less than our last fill up at a Florida truck stop. Yesterday was a good day!
