We Are Alive & Well

It’s been a quite awhile since my last post.  We’ve been workamping in Watkins Glen NY since May 1st and let’s just say its been very hectic.  Most of the time after getting off work we’ve just collapsed into our chairs, cooked a quick dinner, and relaxed by watching TV. Not exactly a blog worthy moment. 

 

 

 

We only have about a week left and then we’ll  be back on the road.  This winter we’ll be hanging out in sunny Florida.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We’ve enjoyed our time in the Finger Lakes. It is a beautiful area and we have our treasured our days off by seeing so much of it.  The waterfalls and state parks are spectacular. Right now the leaves are turning and in a few days the hills should be in their full glory. We especially enjoyed visits with our friends J.C. & Bev, Jerry, Marcia, & Crystal, John & Eileen, and John’s sister Martha. 

 

 

 

 

 

Working full time for five months in a campground is a long time.   It has met our goal, however, of paying off the recent renovations and new roof to our motorcoach. We want our retirement money to last. We’d prefer not to work for such a long period of time, but sometimes you just have to do what is right for the bigger picture. We hope to stay on the road for a long time and spinning through all our savings would not be very prudent.

Update about our winter plans:

 

For the month of November and December we’ll be working in a kiosk in Port Charlotte Florida for a company called Slippermania.  Our workamping friends (Danny & Gay) from the Indy KOA recommended this “gig” to us and it will help pay for the new motorcoach tires.

 

 

Our friends J.C. and Bev will then be joining us in for three months  and we’ve planned a great route traveling all around Florida.   Be sure to check back.  Some of the highlights include: kayak paddle adventures, swimming with the manatees, swamp tour, Segway tour along Cocoa Beach, visit to  the Disney Parks, and an extended stay at one of our favorite places -  Key West.  We are so looking forward to this trip together.

 

 

I promise to post more often and catch up with all my blogger friends.  Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you on the road someday soon.
