a quickie ...

We left the Elks in Brandon today and are now in La Belle, FL (148 miles or so we traveled today).  The Elks was a great, warm, welcoming Lodge - the downside was the trains 24/7 ... and the construction next door that started at 7:00 AM with vehicles beep beep beeping ... We would return there for a few days tho because it was such a friendly group.  It is so interesting, as Rick says, each Lodge has their own personality .. so very true.

We thought we'd be at this campground for four nights as we are scheduled to be in the Keys on Monday.  After we arrived here we decided two nights would probably be adequate and I've checked with the campground hosts in the Keys and we can arrive two days early so that we shall do ... I need to settle in there, although both Rick and I are concerned about being in one place for six weeks.  I will definitely have to find something to do with my time other than eating and drinking.  There is a hospital just down the street (bicycle riding distance) that perhaps could use a volunteer a few hours a week.  We shall see.

So that's the quickie update ...
