You’d think that after boondocking last night (it was very nice and quiet in Wal-Mart’s back parking lot, thank you) without an internet connection, I would have thought to ask about whether the place we’re staying tonight had WiFi or not, wouldn’t you? Sorry. My bad. They do at least have a couple of computers [...]
We had thought of staying here in Punta Gorda for another day, just to catch up on some writing projects, but the RV park doesn’t have any spaces available. So, we’ll do our writing today, then tomorrow go down to the Gasparilla lighthouse for pictures, then tomorrow night we’ll boondock at the Wal-Mart in Englewood [...]
We got here about 7 p.m. Luckily I was conservative about how far we might drive today, since we didn’t get away from Lazy Days and Camping World until 4 o’clock. The weather was beautiful, the road was smooth (if a bit crowded), and once we overcame all the various unfinished upgrades everything seems to [...]
We thought we were out of here…. After spending the night in the “dog lot” (the service parking lot “D”) we had a leisurely breakfast and got everything prepped for the road. A quick trip around the corner to Flying J for fuel and propane, then we came back to hook up the tow dolly, [...]
We took full possession of our Southwind again today, at last. We’re still at Lazy Days tonight, recovering somewhat from the past week’s ordeal, but tomorrow we will head for Punta Gorda for a few days. There’s a lighthouse down there I want pictures of, and the RV park (Gulfview RV Resort) had a 3 [...]
They’ll be finished today! Danielle was just here to tell us that while the refrigerator part from NorCold won’t be here till tomorrow, she can get one from another service rep (?) to make ours work. The rest of the service will be finished today. She wanted to know if we would like to stay [...]
Yes, we are still here. No word yet today about what’s going to happen or how long we will be here. Meanwhile, we’ve been comparing notes with other Service Pavilion prisoners. One guy was really irate. Yesterday when working on a bunkbed in his Class C unit, somehow the workmen broke a large beachball, and [...]
Yes, we’re still at Lazy Days RV Center, but nice as their “Service Pavilion” is, we’re getting a little tired of it. So, today we took a sidetrip up to Plant City/Lakeland, to the Florida Air Museum, site of the Sun-n-Fun fly-in every year. It was pretty neat! They have a lot of historic aircraft, [...]
Several of the organizations that are part of, or plan to become part of, the SciLands group of islands in Second Life have been the subject of press attention lately. Our new SciLands blog features links to several recent articles, as well as in-world news and some philosophizing on the concept of how “location” matters [...]
Finally today the folks at Lazy Days are getting to the dishwasher. Not that yesterday was wasted — lots of other little stuff got taken care of, including ordering the part for the fridge, which may arrive today, but probably tomorrow. As soon as those two things are accomplished, we should be ready to get [...]
