We have been out one week and it seems like a lot longer! Overall, the trip down was very easy. There were bouts of wind but other than that, nothing really got in the way. Without the snow and ice, it was very easy driving. The two days in Vegas were OK but nothing really outstanding. Kit was the lucky one on the one armed bandits and I was the usual loser. I still hate driving in Las Vegas though. You really have to keep your head up all the time. We did some shopping and some gambling and some driving, but nothing really over the top. The drive to Mesa was very uneventful - it took the usual 6 hours from door to door - we arrived here about 2:30 and backed right in!!! The park is very quiet, it is only about half full. Probably more RVs than full timers in their park models. This morning at donuts and coffee, there were more than I thought there would be - at least half the people arrived in the last week. All my golfing buddies are here and we are all going out tomorrow morning for the first session of Friday golf!! There are only about 7 or 8 foursomes however and they have invited the wives as well!! I did go out this afternoon and hit some balls so we will see how bad it is tomorrow!!?
It is really strange to be here at this time of the year when we have been used to being here much later! They are just planting the flowers - of course, when we leave, they are ripping them out for the summer! Sort of reverse to what we are used to at home. We met the new managers this morning - they seem to be real go-getters and very serious about following rules, etc - especially when it comes to control and management of pets. They have put a whole page of things to do and to follow - or else!! We will see.
As you probably know, we have new phone numbers with Roam Mobility. Howard - 1 267 266 5695 and Kit is 1 267 269 3033. I think that these area codes are from Philadelphia so if you try to call us, it is long distance!! We are always available on Facetime as you probably already know!! This should be free as we have our usual great wifi hooked up! I visited Cox Cable right after we got here and got connected right away, as we have our cable already here. There are no hookup charges. Today, I finally got my dish working and so am now hooked to home TV!! I hope that this is a good thing!! Phil and I got my bathroom leak fixed. All it needed was a new faucet for the shower!! Now all my faucets have been replaced!! Phil also fixed up Kit's bike so if she ever gets brave enough to ride it, I will try to get a picture !!
That's about it for now. I don't think that I will doing a lot of these consistently as there really is not a lot to talk about but I will try to keep everyone who is interested, up to date. We are usually available on Facetime or Skype.
Ending with a big shoutout to Jim Gray. Way to go and keep up the good work.
