A Road Less Traveled

Navarre FL  to  Kissimmee  FL  470 miles

Day 52

Of course, there wasn't a cloud in the sky looking across the sound to Santa Rose Island this morning.  I only got a few minutes to enjoy it and then it was in the RV and hitting the road.  We stayed on I10 until a little beyond Tallahassee where we picked up the Apalachee Pkwy, toward Perry.  Love this highway, US27/98/19 and a few other routes all run together down around the big bend area and the upper west coast of the state.  Very little traffic, very little anything, but oh so green.  We love the huge oak trees draped in moss, the small farms, tiny towns and even the 'old Florida' shacks along the way. 

Later we joined I75 for a few miles and finally the Florida Tpk down to Kissimmee.  Gets expensive with all these axles, but the reduced traffic is worth it.  Somehow the black clouds draped over the area was moving AHEAD of us and shortly after we arrived the sun was out and all was right with the world.

We are staying at the Tropical Palms RV Resort near Celebration and the Parks.  We've been here a couple of times before, latest in January of this year.  Not many tourists this time of year, and the snowbirds have all migrated north for the summer.   It's a good place, near everything, reasonable...WIFI and cable.

Oh, and get this...    We put the house on the market when we left.  They have shown it about 30 times.  Last week we decided that we didn't want to keep it listed and thought we'd just try to expand the kitchen and live there forever.  It's a good house, only 3 yrs old, just a slightly further out than we liked and the kitchen was a little small for me.  So this morning Jim called the agent and told her to take it off the listings and we would be home Wednesday.  She returned his call this evening...we had a buyer.  Doesn't it figure?  Now we are trying to decide if we did the right thing....    Gotta be out in a couple of weeks, YIKES!

Tomorrow we will visit Disney, most probably Epcot.  It's been a long time since we've been to that one.
