Jim, Jan, Ralph and I arrived in Clermont on Tuesday, March 18th. Hwy 27 is finally finished all the way from the Turnpike to Thousand Trails! We're in the Preserves and have "visitors" every night... big Racoons and Armadillas. Jim and Jan have a snake in their Palmettos (I think that is what they are called). Thousand Trails have certainly improved their internet services. They have repeaters all over the park now and Wi-Fi is available at most campsites.
Ralph and I met Emily, Greg and the girls on Friday and went to Kennedy Space Center. We had a great time... met an astronaut, Bob Springer. He became an astronaut in 1980 and went into space in 1989 at the age of 46. He was very interesting. One of the children in the audience asked "How do you go to the bathroom?" He said that before his first trip, he had 2 cups of coffee and wished he hadn't after blast off... some of the astronauts wore "diapers" like we had heard about in the news recently, but he said he was a Marine and just couldn't see himself wearing a diaper on his first trip to space.
Of course, Monday in Clermont means Webster (the flea market... ) and we went. Jan and I both bought CDs to add to our music library (Bobby Vinton for me and Frankie Valli and the Four Searson for Jan) and some really good produce.
We've been playing Fast Track with Jim and Jan. Bob and Annwyn Hill...men against women and the women are behind... men won 7 and women won 1. Jan keeps threating to have a bonfire with the Fast Track board before we leave. We have a promise from Mr. Cavanaugh (New Brunswick) to be able to buy a board when he comes down in the Fall. He'll be in Cheaspeake and said he would contact Jim then because shipping is so much cheaper in the USA.
We've also played Hand and Foot with the Lillicos and we're about even on it...
