It is Saturday, January 17, 2009 – last night stayed at Motel 8 which was about 2 short blocks from Kerry’s apartment. Nice beds, hot shower, TV with many channels. Went to leave and RV would not start. After about 1 hr of fiddling with it, the boys got it running. Something with choke we think….now purchased starter fluid and filled tank with gas. Let’s hope tomorrow we don’t have any problems when trying to get on our way.
We plan to play golf tomorrow afternoon. Kerry is working every day but has schedule that she works early shift for a couple of days. The Pompano Gold Course is a wonderful public course with a fun bar and outdoor restaurant. Tom and I ate there several times last year when visiting Kerry. We made her come out with us one night. Definitely older crowd than she is accustom to. Also it has a 4.5 mile biking, hiking, jogging trail around the golf course. We went biking after eating lunch in the RV. Peanut butter and jelly for Bill and I. Tom ate leftovers as usual.
We are now at the Paradise Island RV Resort where we will be staying tonight. We could only stay one night as they don’t have any openings for tonight on – booked for the season. We are packed in like sardines – no woods, some trees – nothing like the camping I am use to in the north where the sites have plenty of room and you are not on top of each other. One “Older (they all are here) Gentleman” is washing his car which he must tow behind his very big motor home. You can stay here from 1 day to 1 year.
Will check out the place – I know there are shuffleboard that can be played and a laundry area. Going to locate showers and potties as that is the most important place at any campground.
Dinner with Kerry and Jordan was at a Mediterranean Restaurant. Bill was skeptical – told Kerry he doesn’t eat Chinese or Mexican right off the bat. As vegetarians and vegans, that is basically the kinds of food they eat. They would not pick Ruth Crist’s like us meat eater would. I had shrimp and chicken kabobs and they were very good. At 8:00 a VERY busty belly dancer began dancing for the evening entertainment. She danced very close to the gentleman (see attached picture). It was very interesting but we left after her second dance. We had finished up and paid the bill but we wanted to stick around for a couple of dances. Luckily there were no other customers waiting for a table so we could hang around.
