Up at the crack of 7:00, had some coffee and an apple fritter...Roger had a Bob Evans Sausage and Egg Bowl and then we were off to Tampa. Stu said his GPS indicated there was a big backup on the X-way so he reset his GPS to take us there the back way. It was truly the BACK way!!! We saw lots of winding roads, orange groves, and strawberry fields (Forever)....Ha Ha, get it? Also saw lots of nothingness, but as it turned out he made the right choice because we came in the back entrance to the Fairgrounds, & found parking right by the gate. We later learned that the x-way coming from the North was stopped and gridlocked with people trying to get off to get to the show. Yikes...that would NOT have been fun!!
The show was HUGE and unfortunately got very crowded. The one model we went there specifically to see (and we were told by 2 different salesmen on 2 separate occasions that it WOULD be there) was not there. Unbelievable...you go to the dealership on 2 different occasions, 3 days apart and we were told, as they looked at their inventory sheet, oh yes we have that model it's out on the lot Hop on the golf cart and drive all over (over 1,000 units on the lot) looking for it only to be told, 1.) it's in a service bay being prepped and 2.) oh they already took it up to Tampa for the RV show. Wrong, Wrong, and Wrong. We have yet to see it.
After the show we went to Wendy's for "Linner" and then to LazyDays to look at a used unit. Then we trekked on back to Arcadia. Another long, but fun, day.
By the way the temperature plummeted!!! It was hot when we got to Tampa and freezing when we left!! This cold weather can go away anytime now!!!
