Longer Term Arrangements

The main thing we accomplished yesterday was the completion of reservations for the next 7 weeks. All but 1 of those weeks will be in our Thousand Trails park. We leave today to go to the park in Clermont where we will stay until Feb 11. We then put our rig in temporary storage there and stay in one of their "Getaway" cabins where we get a free week each year as part of our membership. We then will return here to Sherwood Forest for a discounted (paid) week, and then return to Thousand Trails again for the next 3 weeks. That takes us up to March 18th, and our total cost will only be for the 1 week back here at Sherwood Forest.

We checked a couple places yesterday for Josie to work without success. One flower shop in Kissimmee indicated they may contact her if they find out they need somebody. We are now convinced that the impact of the economy on the flower business is deeper than we originally thought. It used to be that these shops would roll out the red carpet for extra help during the Valentine's Day holiday. Before the downturn, they could never get enough help. Actually, we've seen where several shops have closed their doors and gone out of business during this economic depression. Like everybody else, we hope it changes soon. In the meantime, we'll keep searching and will enjoy the weather and the location as much as we can.

Today will provide the first test for our new jacks. We expect to raise them when we leave, and see them in the same position when we arrive at the new location, without any stops to raise them again. It's a good thing that we aren't that far from Camping World if there are any problems. We're certain that they are also hoping that they have seen the last of us.

Our plan is to leave by 10 AM, so it's time to have breakfast and get ready to leave...
