Reservations, musings & trips

(Duplicate entry on AOL)

I had a good entry here. About reservations, and MS Windows had a problem and had to shut down. Shucks! Also I dress this up a little and copy and paste and it comes out Black & White only. Oh well.......

Anyway We are usually, fly by the seat of the pants, type of people. No reservations. A couple years ago we decided it was time, we had to start.
Yesterday evening Sherry called to make reservations at Lake Panasofkee. Nothing available. Heck no body is in Florida this time of the year. What has happened? So quick I get on the internet and check Lake Griffin State Park in Leesburg. Yes they have room. Good! What about Thanksgiving? NADA! WHAT? That is right nothing available Thanksgiving.
Anyone out there have room for a 38.5 foot RV in your drive over Thanksgiving? It is Just a joke folks, we find a spot. That is the way we live. HA!

There are plenty more spots, I was just surprised that they were full over Thanksgiving.
Sherry & her two sisters Colette and Lennie were three peas in a pod. We Brothers in law knew when we married one we got all three. Lennie and Collette had seldom traveled over 250 miles from home, UNTIL we moved back into the area. Then we started at least one week a year traveling together. We usually rented a van. Once the trip included Key West. We got there and there was not a room of any kind available. We started back up the Keys (150 miles of two lane road and bridges). We did not find a vacancy until we reached Ft. Lauderdale and it was between two and four in the morning. SOOOO we learned then to check ahead but still did not start making reservations until a few years ago.
Those times are gone, Lennie and Colette had the ill manners to leave this life for a better one, but that doesn’t make you miss them less. Our yearly trips are gone but than the Lord for memories.
Those trips were great. We went to Missouri, San Antonio, Lancaster, Nova Scotia, Toranto, Key West, another big Florida trip, Bransen. Nat’l Bridge, Williamsburg, West VA. coal mining country, Cape Cod and Boston. Three couples and never an argument or problem.
