About a month to go!

We had a great weekend with our son, Jason, after the toilet fiasco, and have been busy making lists of the things we want to do or accomplish before our exit in April.  We have a motorhome list, quite short which is a good thing, a to do stuff list, and a make sure we get together with list.  Since we only spend about 4 months here in Florida it means we are gone from here 8 months which seems a long time now, but sometimes too short while we are in the midst of our travels.

About half of our park leave the 1st of April, so we are already seeing some signs of folks getting ready, even though we are still bursting at the seams.  The reservations for next season have a cutoff date of March 17, so everyone is anxious to see if they are renewed, able to change sites, or whether if on the outside, able to get in for next year.  They say it will be sorted out in just one day, we'll see.


Every 2-3 years we do maintenance on our Sani-Con system, it's our macerator for our black and gray waste tanks.  Sounds worse than it really is.  A couple of hoses get replaced, the pump and impeller are looked over and the impeller is changed out for a new one, and all is cleaned up and good to go for another 2-3 years.  We still have to get our Aqua-Hot hot water and heating system's annual maintenance done, which will be the first for our new unit.  Basically it is simple, a change of the fuel filter, cleaning of the combustion chamber, and a new nozzle, a couple hours at most.  After that we have about 5 other items to accomplish on the coach.


We want to make sure to hit several favorite restaurants, visit with friends, and make sure to do those things we haven't gotten around to yet or want to be sure we do again before we leave.  


I want to include a picture of our "Tiki Bar" friends having a good time!


The weather is gorgeous now, warm, sunny, and just how everyone who comes to Florida is hoping for, and after our somewhat cool and wet winter, it is very welcome, but it makes us want to go play instead of get our list done, but there's still lots of time.  Famous last words, huh?
