Disney World Day

March 31, 2009 – 8:01pm

Well, I had my Disney Day and it was great. I got alot of pictures so give it a few extra seconds to download so you can see all my pictures! 🙂 I went on alot of rides. There wasn’t a whole lot of people there today. I went to Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Animal Kingdom – Yep, all in one day! 🙂

Splash Mountain. I didn’t go on this one…..

From Magic Kingdom to Epcot! Here we go……

Okay! Left Epcot and now to Animal Kingdom……

I went on a wild animal safari…….sooo much fun!

After the safari I found the Mickey Parade going on inside Animal Kingdom…..

I had a great day. I got a ton of pictures! 🙂 I hope everyone had a great day too. Talk tomorrow (I’m a bit tired of all the running around). Have a great night! 🙂

Downtown Disney

March 30, 2009 – 10:34pm

Well, today I did not go to Disney, but tonight we all did go to Downtown Disney and walked around their boardwalk looking at the stores and outside entertainment. But, don’t you worry. Tomorrow I’ll be going to Disney all day from when it opens to when it closes. Today we slept a little late and hung around the RV Park relaxing. At Downtown Disney tonight I got some pictures! 🙂

We followed a Disney bus to Downtown Disney…..

Once inside Downtown Disney – there are alot of restaurants……

OH, they were testing this new ride out with the hot air balloon, but there’s no fire to make the hot air so I’m not too sure what’s helping this balloon rise into the air…….

A closer look at the new balloon ride…..

There’s the sign – Coming Soon! 🙂

The outside entertainment is great in Downtown Disney – beautiful music…..

We are going to pass through Pleasure Island which is usually dead until around 9pm. But they do have some shops in Pleasure Island such as Harley Davidson…….

Ohhhhh, time for a snack……

We continue walking around looking around. The music playing around Pleasure Island is coming from here…..

Mickey ice cream is pretty darn good……

Ohhh, Lego land……

Just browsing through stores and seeing some neat stuff…..

Well, that’s what we did tonight. It was fun and we ate dinner at the Rainforest Cafe here at Downtown Disney. So it was a nice and peaceful day today. Tomorrow I’m all ready to take on Mickey Ville all day with my camera. I’m going to have sooooo much fun. I’m going to find Mickey and run around and do everything I can in one day. One girl, one day, four Disney parks. Let’s the Marathon begin! 🙂 Have a great day – I’ll be back with great pictures 🙂

Family In Groveland

March 29, 2009 – 9:50pm

Sunday is family time. We have family 40 miles north from where we are staying in Groveland (we are staying in Kissimmee). My uncle and aunt stays in Groveland for the winter and spends their summers up in Freedom, NH. We slept late this morning and around noon we headed north on 27 to spend time with them.

Well, as predictable as my family is (or maybe I just know them too well *smile*), dinner was ready. My uncle and aunt has their neighborhood friends over and all together there was 9 of us there (10 counting Jake, yep, he went too!). We all had a nice dinner and a pleasant visit (that’s predictable too!). It’s always great to see them!

My aunt was having trouble with her laptop, so I fixed everything on that computer that she was having trouble with and made some shortcuts for her to make her internet experience a bit easier. We spent all day there talking and relaxing and just got back home to the RV at 9:30pm!

I’m suppose to go to Mickey World tomorrow but decided to wait another day. Tomorrow we are going Flea Market hopping and I don’t want to miss out on that! I love flea markets. Tuesday will hopefully be a Disney day for me. The only reason why I say “hopefully” is because hopefully the weather will work out for me and not rain like it has been lately. Two nights of rain and thunder. Poor Jake snuck up close to me in my bed because he was so scared of the loud thunder last night. Poor little guy.

So I’ll keep this blog posting to the point (for once 🙂 ) and go enjoy my night reading my book that I bought a Publix while grocery shopping yesterday! Have a great day! I’ll be back tomorrow!!! 🙂

PS: Don’t forget to vote on my new poll questions on the right hand side of my blog. Got two votes so far!!! 2 people loves cruises and 2 people loves international land! 🙂 Vote and let me know which dream vacation is perfect for you! 🙂

We made it to Florida

March 28, 2009 – 10:00am

Hello! Wow, it’s been a journey! I have had terrible internet service at Hollywood Casino RV Park. I had terrible internet service at Pensacola (we were staying at a friend’s house, in their driveway), and we now have finally made it to Kissimmee, Florida with great internet service! I want to back up a little bit and tell you what you’ve missed out on the last few days!

When we were at the Hollywood Casino my mom cashed out on one of the slot machines (it’s wasn’t alot of money so don’t get too excited) and her ticket got stuck in the slot machine so a slot host. I guess that’s what they call them who came over to help her get her ticket out of the slot machine and we were talking to her for a little while while she tinkered with the slot machine getting my mom’s ticket out from the jam…..

The conversation we had with her turned to Las Vegas and she told us that she’s never been Vegas but she’s seen alot of deals for flights to go out there and she wants to go (I would say she was about 38 or 40 in age). So I asked her why doesn’t she go. She said that she’s scared to go. She used that word “scared”. She told me that she thinks Las Vegas is just like New York City and it’s not safe and people get mugged, robbed, and killed there all the time. There’s a reason I’m telling you this so stay with me for a second here. I just want to say that if anyone reading this is “scared” to go to Las Vegas, tell me! Please please tell me! Because I only need a 1/4 of an excuse for a reason to go back to Vegas and I’ll be more than happy to go to Vegas with you if you are “scared” and show you the sights and lights and realistically, how safe this awesome destination really is! Don’t get me on the topic of why I love Vegas, because I just won’t shut up (can you tell I miss Vegas already!)…..so we are moving on in subject and don’t be “scared” of Vegas! 🙂

Next up! We visited our friends Linda and Bob in Pensacola for a few days and we really enjoyed the visit! We all went out to dinner together and the next day we went to the new casino called “Wind Creek Casino and Resort” in Atmore, Alabama! Cool casino and definitely paying. I won $344 dollars there. Don’t ask me how because I can’t believe I was playing the slot machine at 5 dollars a time! That’s not like me at all, but it was paying!!!

And it rained, and rained, and rained alot in Pensacola. There was some kind of tropical storm on our tail along I-10 and the rain cloud was right above our head the whole ride across I-10.

On the way down from Pensacola to Kissimmee, we knew it was a long ride and thought it would be nice to stay at the Hard Rock Casino in Tampa over night. Well, I called ahead to the Hard Rock Casino while on Highway 19 South and was transferred to security to discuss RV parking options in their parking lot so we can visit their casino. The security man on the phone with me said that the only way to park an RV over night in their parking lot is if we rented a hotel room at their casino. I paused for a couple of seconds to try to find the common sense in this policy. So I said to him, “Well, why would I want to do that when we have an RV and want to visit the casino?” He said, “Well, that’s true.” So I said to him, “What’s our other option if we want to visit your casino and we have an RV and don’t need to rent a hotel room.” He said and I quote, “Park your RV down at the Flying J truck stop and take a taxi 4 miles to our casino.” Do you hear me Hard Rock Casino????? We can not park our RV in your parking lot so we can spend our money in your casino!! People have money in their pockets, money keeps your casino alive, try accommodate your customers, I swear at the end, you will win.

OH, I have another issue I want to vent about. Oh, you’re gonna love this one too. When we were at the Hollywood Casino we checked in with cash. We don’t use credit cards too often, we try to use cash for most of our purchases and RV park stay overs. We were told that we have to pay for the 2 nights in advance with a 25 dollar deposit and we would get back the 25 dollar deposit at the end of our 2 night stay when we check out. I’m not too sure why the deposit is necessary and I’ve never experienced this check in policy before but we pay for everything up front in cash. The RV park check-in office lady also printed out our Hollywood casino players card and we were told that if we use our player’s card in the slot machines at the Hollywood Casino, our comp points that we accumulate would take off money from our reservation site fee. So we used our players card and I spent quite a bit of money there racking up points on my players card. When we checked out the lady behind the desk told us that because we paid cash for our reservation and not used a credit card we couldn’t use any comp points from our player’s card to save money off our RV site. I like to save money, who doesn’t, but what I don’t like is a poor excuse. Enough about that…I’m moving on……

My third issue I am having is that not too many people are participating in my polls and I don’t know why. I had this discussion with Linda back in Pensacola and when I brought up my “issue” with people not participating in my polls she just started laughing. I asked her if she participated in my polls and she said no. I said I don’t understand people like to read about my trip but not take the two extra seconds to click a choice on the question that is posted. I’m interested in my blog readers – SOOOOOO, here we go again! 🙂 I thank you people who voted and I’m going to post the results here and I’m going to post another question for you all. Here are the results!

How dependent are you on an automobile GPS device?
5 votes (24%) said that they are completely lost without a GPS (well, actually 4 votes because 1 vote is from me)
6 votes (29%) said that they use it sometimes if they are going to someplace new
4 votes (19%) said they would take a map over a GPS any day!
6 votes (29%) said that it would be nice to have a GPS and they have added it to their birthday list!
SO, I love these polls, you can tell can’t ya! Okay, new poll is up and running and I want to hear from you. Don’t be shy and don’t be “scared” 🙂 hee hee

The pick up truck turned 9,500 miles today since we left at the end of November. We are back in Kissimmee once again! We are leaving here on Thursday, but let’s not think about that right now. Let’s have some fun! We’ve got so much to see and so much to do here in Florida!

We checked into this RV park late last night and the security gate personnel made the phone call to a park host, Lou from Indiana, that met us at the check-in lodge and checked us in and showed us our site at 9 o’clock at night. I hate checking in this late at night, but we’ve all had enough of dry camping for a while. We are staying here until Thursday and we will be visiting the area and I will be doing my Mickey Marathon number 2 (Disney Marathon number 1 is here! Going to Disney for the whole day from the minute it opens to when they kick me out finishing up the day at Downtown Disney exactly like I did when we started this trip in November! Can’t wait to tell you all about it! Have a great day and I’ll be back soon now that I have great internet service!

Hollywood Casino RV Park

March 23, 2009 – 9:43pm

Does this sound familiar to you? Hollywood Casino RV Park. We were here on December 10, 2008. Gosh, so so soooo long ago. The good ol’ days. Well, we are back. Again. Well, needless to say that I don’t have to take any pictures of this place. You can take a peek at my previous blog posting of  this place via here. The place looks the same. The RV Park looks the same. The casino shuttle looks the same. And the casino looks the same. The only thing that is NOT the same is the price. HA – they raised the price of their RV Park sites on March 1st – they must of seen us coming.

On December 10, 2008, (including all taxes and a 10% discount from my Good Sam Club Membership) the total price was $25 dollars a night. When we checked in today, she found our previous reservation from December. So when she quoted us the new price of $28.87 a night including my Good Sam Club Membership, I asked why we couldn’t get the price we paid for when we stayed here three months ago. She said that the price went up. RV manufacturers are going out of business like dominoes, fuel costs finally went down, and they are raising their prices here??

Last night we were in Kinder Louisiana which is 270 miles away from here and we paid (including all taxes and discounts) $17 bucks. We should of stayed there. Gosh, I sound so cheap sometimes, ha ha ha! BUT I have an excuse! I am an apprentice of being retired and if I’m going to live on a fixed income someday, I’m going to try to hang on to every penny I can. I mean, I have other costs to worry about, diesel fuel here is $1.89 a gallon, I’ve got the buffet smell seeping throughout the 2nd floor of the casino trying to get $19 dollars out of me, and the darn casino alone has got 1/2 my saving account in their slot machines and this RV Park is going up 3 bucks!!!! I can’t afford that!!

Okay, of course, I am laughing to myself while I write this, but the fixed income statement is true, I’ve got to find ways stretch that potential social security dollar I’ve got coming my way in a few years. “A few years” – I laugh! Oh, and I laugh because when I finally do retire and collect my big whopping social security check. A social security check will be thing of the past.

Okay, let’s get serious here. We are parked here and set up for two nights and it might be more than that if the weather gets worse. We are suppose to have heavy rain storms moving in on us all this week. So we might be STUCK here for a week! Stuck here next to a casino! Don’t bother saving me 🙂 *Big Big Smile*

Tomorrow we are going to take a day trip to Biloxi to check out those casinos and seeing what’s going on in town. I overheard someone in the casino tonight saying that the French Quarters in New Orleans is shut down, hmmmm, got to find out what’s up with that tomorrow. Other than that, it was a nice and easy day today. Thanks for checking in on me and have a great day!

After A Month – We Left Texas

March 22, 2009 – 10:13pm

Well, we are still in the Central Time Zone but we are out of Texas! Tonight we sit in Kinder, Louisiana at a wonderful RV Park at the Coushatta Casino Resort. OH, let me back up a little. On Saturday we had a huge 50th wedding anniversary party for my aunt and uncle – can you believe it – married 50 years! We had a party with about 30 people at one of their friend’s RV site. There was alot of food and a live band! It was alot of fun. I was in charge of two cameras and a video camera so my work was cut out of me through the day, but I didn’t mind. My aunt called me tonight while we are parking in Louisiana and just told me that all the pictures and the video came out perfect!

So here we sit after traveling 570 miles today. We left this morning at around 7am and made it here at 5pm (that included two potty breaks for Jake). We got a great pull through RV spot with a picnic table here. There’s quite a few RV sites here, probably around, maybe 300 RV sites. OH, and most importantly, a free shuttle service to the Casino. You can see the casino from where we sit, but you’ve got to walk around a huge lake and through a parking lot, and, I don’t think so, I’ll wait for the shuttle that comes right up to our RV.

It has definitely been too long since we’ve been to a casino. NOooooo, I didn’t forget how to use a slot machine, but let me tell ya, when I walked in that casino…..the slot machine binging was music to my ears and I swear I could breath better when I walked in that door…..almost could smell all that Jackpot money. I did pretty decent tonight too. I walked in with $120 dollars and left after 4 hours with $150 dollars. I came out with more than I walked in with – WooHoo!!!! That’s what it’s all about!

So I don’t know if we are staying here for 1 night or 2 nights. Hey, it’s the life of an RVer. No place to be, no place to go, if you like the place you are at…..you sit and enjoy it! Have a great day!

Military Discount at a RV Park

March 20, 2009 – 9:41pm

Happy Spring! I’ve been working with a friend of mine who runs a campground in California and he’s always sending me goodie links to pass on. I’ve got another good one from him today about his campground that deeply appreciates the military…..Sacred Rocks RV Park says:

God Bless AmericaOur hearts are filled with gratitude to all American service men and women who perform both heroic and routine daily actions on behalf of all Americans.

We are the land of the free, because of the brave!

All US active duty personnel who show us their military ID (Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, Navy) will receive a 25% discount* at Sacred Rocks Reserve on:

  • RV camping

  • Tent camping

  • Day Pass: Solo Retreat, Guided Retreat

25% discount off regular price ($37.00) for RV camping = $27.75 with discount! Enjoy the comforts of an RV in our shaded Southern California campsites.

That’s great! You can read the campground blog and more information about this here:
http://www.sacredrocksreserve.com/rvpark/campsite/military.html

As for me…..another night of playing cards with the family last night. I love spending time with the family! So unfortunately I didn’t get around to blogging last night. Today we stayed home in the morning and ate lunch at the Martins Valley Golf Course Restaurant. Boy, am I going to miss that place (restaurant) when we leave on Sunday.

This afternoon we finished up plans to have a big family and friend reunion tomorrow. My aunt and uncle have been married for 50 years and tomorrow we are having a big outside (predicted temperature 84 degrees) for them. It’s not a surprise party as they do know about it.

OH, and tomorrow there is a craft fair at our recreational hall, so mom and I are heading over there tomorrow morning! 🙂 Other than that, I’m just relaxing here in the RV. I did some reading this afternoon. Just typical fiction book, nothing to brag about. I don’t want to sound like there is not much to do around here, because there really is, we just aren’t running around alot. Just really hanging out with family and friends here.

So after the big party tomorrow, we will be re-adjusting stuff in the RV to be ready to hitch up Sunday and leave. We are off to new places, new people, and new adventures…..this RV trip isn’t done yet! 🙂

Social Media At Its Best

March 18, 2009 – 9:04pm

Well, I just got back from Bingo – Bingo Wednesday nights from 7 to 8:45. I didn’t win anything this time but my mom won ten bucks. Speaking of winning at Bingo, last Wednesday when I was at Bingo, they often give out gift certificates from local businesses as prizes, and last Wednesday I won a free haircut gift certificate to a cute little salon down the street from us called Letty’s Beauty Salon. Well, my appointment was for 5pm today. I was putting off getting a haircut all winter long, but when I got that free haircut gift certificate at Bingo, it was a sign….I needed a haircut. I got my haircut and dyed my hair to a medium brown for a total of $40 bucks. Back home it would of been twice that much at some of the places in my home town. The lady that did my hair was very nice and the hair color came out great. Before the hair cut appointment we ran errands and ate lunch at the golf course here at the RV Park.

I want to talk about something for a second…..I’ve had a few of my blog visitors catch up with me through social media applications throughout this winter. Some of my blog visitors have Facebook accounts, MySpace accounts, and Twitter accounts and if you  know me better….I am a complete Twitter-holic. Facebook and MySpace are very similar to each other but I get alot more of the mature connections through Facebook. I check my Facebook account several times throughout the day on my Blackberry and don’t even start with me about my Twitter account….I have my Twitter account open and active all day long (on my Blackberry). Facebook is a great way of keeping in touch with long distance pals that just want to drop you a little hello, send you a virtual-gift, and start a Facebook Group and invite members to share an interest in a particular topic. My Facebook Groups range from RVing groups to a NASCAR Fantasy League group (which I participate in weekly). When you sign up for Facebook, it will give you the option to automatically gently go through your email address book to tell you which of your friends in your email address book has a Facebook account. Very convenient.

As for Twitter – ohhhhh, my secret love affair with Twitter. I found an GREAT article written on the Business Week’s website that can explain Twitter better than I can and you can read it here. I’ll give you my best shot too – Twitter is harder to  explain. If you ask 10 people to describe Twitter, you will get 10 different answers. It’s one of those social media applications that IF you use it the right way, you can get the world to “follow” you….well, not really, but you know what I mean. Twitter is a social media application that you jot down a mini-blog posting, called a “Tweet” (140 characters only) and anyone that wants to “follow” you will catch everything you post. You, in turn, can follow the person back to follow his tweets or you don’t have to. So, basically, you are choosing to follow the people that posts what interests you in topic. I follow alot of RVers and many other people that tweets what peaks my interest. The neat thing about Twitter is that you can post a tweet (remember, no more than 140 characters) directly from your cell phone. I have over 600 followers on my Twitter account and I posted a tweet today that said, Can anyone tell me the name of a casino in a little town in Louisiana (since we are heading that way on Sunday and need a place to stay over night – and yes, it’s got to have a casino, I’m going thru withdrawals here *smile*). I got many responses back about the name of the casino I was looking for and one of my followers even posted the phone number for me. If you are looking for anything, you can post it on Twitter. If you want to put forth your expertise on a topic, you can follow people looking for information on that topic and tweet information about that particular topic. Some people that I follow: Mostly newspaper companies, TV news channels (Fox, MSN), RVing companies, and RVers all over this countries that likes to post about their trip. You will hear about news that happening in real time on Twitter before the news people even catches a sniff of what’s going on. An earthquake in southern California broke ground one morning recently. It was posted on twitter the second it happened and talked about widely by many Twitter users before the news people got to the scene. Twitter is free to use just like Facebook.

I’m not a fan of MySpace, I do have an account for the people that I run into along my trip that uses MySpace to socialize, that is, if I can’t ween them off from MySpace to a Facebook account :). Well, that’s my little two cents about  the social media applications. I’m not sure what I’m up to tomorrow, but I’m sure we will be doing something exciting 🙂 Have a great day! 🙂

South Padre Island

March 17, 2009 – 6:13pm

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Today we went to South  Padre Island which is a 90 mile drive from where we are staying. It was foggy this morning on the road but by noon it was 82 degrees. When we got to South Padre Island (around 9:30am) we went to three stores for souvenirs and then had lunch at a great seafood restaurant called “The Lost Galleon Seafood Restaurant”. There’s not alot on the menu but the all-you-can-eat fried fish, and it really was delicious. Got to be careful, all they have is fried fish and you got to be careful with any fried food. I’m not a big fan of fried food so by the time I torn everything apart, at the end I have a big heap of fried batter leftover that was around the fish. Well, now you know how I really feel about fried food, but the fish was great! Delicious 🙂

After lunch we sat on the beach for a while, OH I remember now, this is great!!…..Okay, while we were sitting on the beach we saw a huge oil tanker at sea about 1 mile out that was facing us. The boat was huge. So it was moving along coming towards us and to the left of the beach in the section we were sitting in is a big dock that continues to the left of us and goes behind a building. The big tanker is getting closer to the shore and passes 1/4 mile from us and goes to dock left of us. It was a huge boat, huge tanker. I know you know what a tanker is but to see this massive tanker, well, I’ve never seen a boat that big in person. It was so close to shore and then disappeared behind the building that was directly behind us. Of course I was on the beach relaxing so I left my camera in the car. Figures 😦

The ocean temperature was around 65 degrees and I was surprised to see the water that cold at South Padre Island, I was expecting the ocean to be a little warmer. We have friends at the RV Park on South Padre Island, at Isla Blanca Park, so we stopped by there and chatted with our friends for a little while and got some information on the RV Park that is walking distance to the beach. I definitely found all the NH snowbirds, there were RVers there from Pinardville, Manchester, and Suncook, New Hampshire. And it’s not too expensive to stay there. I was expecting it to be alittle more pricey. To stay at that RV Park  it is $349 per month and you pay your own electricity (add another 40 bucks for cable). We don’t have time to stay there this winter but next winter we will spend a few weeks there. Look at that, we are already planning stops for next winter’s trip! Ha! I love it! So let’s look at some pictures I took around South Padre Island………

This is one of the souvenir shops that we went to……

The souvenir shop’s entrance……

When you go through the souvenir shop’s doors, this is what you walk underneath……

Another souvenir shop that we went to………..

This is where we had lunch……

A statue near the beach. We just walked around taking in the sights…….

This is a picture I got while riding in the car – not a bad picture at all for going about 20 miles an hour……

Well, I’m a bit sun stroked today. I definitely have a nice tan going and I can see my shoulders are red. I hope everyone had a great day! I’m off to bed, have a great night! 🙂

And don’t forget to take part in my poll that is listed under my “About Us” section – I’ll be adding up the votes and post the results by the end of this week and a new poll will be up and listed then too! 🙂

Easy Monday

March 16, 2009 – 8:45pm

Hi! Well, we all made it through Monday. Today was a nice easy day for us. I slept in a little late. We had a few leisurely errands to do today so our first stop was to the Sprint store and I bought a case for my Blackberry and a transparent screen protector to protect my new cell phone from scratches! That’s important….take care of your stuff so it’ll last twice as long. I’ve got take care of this baby, it’s my portable lifeline to cyber-space. Ok, moving on……

We had lunch at a new restaurant…..well, it’s not new, it’s just new to me!! It’s called P.F.Chang and I was very impressed by the food and service! Excellent food and great service. I would definitely recommend it for a lunch stop!
After lunch we went to the grocery store HEB to pick up some goodies and headed back home again!

This evening we all played cards together with our friends here at the RV park! It was a nice day, OH, and the weather hit 81 today.

Tomorrow we are going to South Padre Island for the day and you better believe that I’m charging my camera batteries as I write this. I can’t wait to take 100 pictures. And it IS spring break this week so it should be wild!!
Have a great day and I’ll be back with pictures tomorrow!! 🙂
