The CampLink that we signed up for last week expires today and we decided not to renew it. One reason being it didn't really work all that well and you could only have 2 devices on at one time and inevitably, one of us would forget to turn one off when we were done and then we couldn't get on until we knocked the 2 devices off and started over. Plus, we'd be online and for no reason...bam....we were knocked off!!! After many calls to CampLink we decided to not renew. Instead, we called Verizon and found out that for $20.00 more a month, we could double our data to 16 G so we did that and see how that works out. I probably used it all up tonight catching up this Blog!! We also do not have cable hook up and no way to get it without buying a satellite system and that's not going to happen at this point!! No sports stations, ie: ESPN so Roger missed a lot of football games and I am missing my Smithsonian channel and Nat Geo and HGTV...and on and on. Oh well...at least we have a good TV antenna and can get broadcast channels from Tampa and Ft.Myers. I think a part that is rated a 10/10/10 from Good Sam (Highest Rating Possible) should have FREE WiFi and Cable in ALL sites...period!!! The 700s do not have either. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.... BUT...we do have 2 water spigots per site!! Whoo Hoo!!
We saw a lot of golf carts and cars parked at the ClubHouse this morning while out walking so we decided to see what we were missing. Unfortunately, it was free coffee and donuts and the weekly update meeting. OOPS !!! We'll be there next Monday.
After a long walk, we met a couple from Ontario who are truly living Roger's Dream....during the winter they live in their brand new 2018 Tiffin Allegro motorhome and during the summer they live on their 50' Grand Banks trawler and travel the Great Lakes. OMG....when I first talked to him, I told him my husband would go crazy for this...plus, his "toad" is a Jeep Wrangler that matches his motorhome. I had to take Roger back to meet him. Their names are Rod and Elise and they invited us in to tour their Allegro. VERY NICE!! 1 1/2 baths!!! I could get use to that!!!
They have BINGO here on Mondays and Thursdays so I went to see how it works here. Oh Boy...it is definitely different than BINGO at Emerald Beach. The jackpots are a LOT bigger. For instance, one game had a jackpot of $100.00 and most games are over $25.00. Plus they play a lot of different games, all of which you can buy into or not. Anna, who sat to my left won twice and left $127.00 richer and Diana, who sat on my right won $25.00. Me??? Nothing, Zip, Nada!! The park provides free popcorn for all and pop and candy and ice-cream to buy.
The weather is becoming more like what you would expect in Florida...NICE !!
