A Change of Plans

A couple of things have happened to slightly change our plans. During the week on January 14, we were supposed to be staying at a campground in Everglades National Park. Unfortunately, the campsite we tried to reserve wasn’t available, so the campground offered us a site that did not have electric or water. In the end, we decided it would be easier to use my parents’ home in Port St. Lucie, FL as our base and to drive down south to see the things we want to see. We may still visit the Everglades, but just for the day.

During the week of January 28, Kim and I have to be in La Crosse for a meeting. We’ll probably leave from Florida on January 26 and then spend the entire next week in Viroqua. Shelby is excited because she’s going to get to see her friends (who she has been missing terribly). We’ll be driving the van back rather than the RV. It’s too cold in Viroqua to stay in the RV and it is too expensive to drive it north just for the week.

If things work out, we are going to stop to see some friends on the way back to Florida. We want to stop to see Caryl & Jerry Holthouse in Tennessee, Neil & Gail Wallace in Alabama, and Randy Pobst, and Kevin and Jackie Walsh in Georgia. When we get back to Florida, Kim’s parents will be visiting her brother Jeff in Orlando, so we may not hit the road as soon as we come back. It’s nice to not have to be on a set schedule.

Hey Mindars. I just got the blog back after not being able to read it since you left Wisconsin. Had to catch up on all of the adventures.
Thanks for the birthday shout out! Sorry to hear it wasn't such a good day for you! We have a birthday card for you but didn't know where to send it.
No mention of the Guidos, hhhmmmm.....wonder what that means. You'd rather not?!? LOL
We love you guys and I will continue to read on since we don't get to see you all too much even though you are in Florida. When the car is done, I'm hoping we can spend more time although you guys will be out of Florida by then? Keep the posts going. TTFN!
