We have been back in Bonita Springs for nearly 10 days now and the time has been going by rather quickly. Sharon expressed her feelings about returning in the last blog and most of which I tend to agree with. However, I am not as convinced as she that this may be our part of our eventual exit plan from full timing. I will admit there are a lot of very positive attributes most of which is the wintertime weather. While much of the country has been in the deep freeze here in the southern reaches of Florida the temperatures have been consistently in the eighties with the seven day forecast showing much of the same. The picture of the USA map was sent to me from a friend in Texas and looking at where we wintered a month last year it shows 43 degrees in the Rio Grand Valley for that day.
We are starting to relax and enjoy our park as we have begun to meet new friends. As a result we have spent more time in the park that I would have thought but it has been productive. We even have had time to wash and wax both the Motorhome and the CRV. Abbey looks quite well all shined up and is now ready for next years travels. We are once again planning to travel west next year and have even firmed up plans by reserving one of our favorite parks along the way, Betty;s RV Park. We should roll in there on March 6th for a two week stay or maybe longer if we get caught up in Betty's web.
One of the things we like most about staying at a place for at least a month is it allows us to order things on-line that we need. We are actually staying here at Imperial Bonita Estates for two months, the longest we will have stayed anywhere so far. This allows us time to get a years supply of some medicine as well as time for me to order some new glasses as I am very hard on glasses. Also, since we are staying longer I have ordered an awning screen online as well…Sharon is also making a list of things to order so It sure is nice to have our mailbox key for a while…
yep. . .that sittin' still for a'spell does make it nice for catchin' up on orderin' stuff, and gettin' projects done. . . my project list is growin' by the day. . . :)
ReplyDeleteYep....dang weather. We originally planned on Florida for this winter but changed plans to the Houston area. Its currently 53 degrees here.
ReplyDeleteYou'll love sitting for 2-months.
This weather has been great.
ReplyDeleteKeep that weather going. Five more days til takeoff.
ReplyDeleteWe spent a total of three months over two winters there and enjoyed it. On the other hand, we did not see it as a place we would want to be every winter.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time there and the hot weather.
ReplyDeleteYou arrive at Betty's on March 6th and that is the day we are scheduled to LEAVE. We'll have to work something out so we can meet, even for a little while.

DeleteHopefully we will find a way to get together before you leave!
DeleteWe are hoping to get in sooner. I asked Betty to please call us if there is any opening at all! Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteWe're thinking FL next winter for the weather. Sounds wonderful. Now I'll need to Google Betty's RV Park :-)
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE Betty's! There is so much to do in that area, and it's so unique. We also plan to get caught back into Betty's web one of these days and enjoy more of her happy hours. We also love Bonita Beach and will check out your RV park next time we're in that area. You're right, it's been cold and rainy here in the RGV, but the weather is starting to get back to normal now. It's been a bad winter everywhere but Florida!
