Hi all: We got off this morning at about 1015. I had to work on the Satellite box as it would not work at first. I messed around for some time and finally found the new cable that came with the satellite dish had a bad connector. Changed it and all worked good.

As we were pulling out of our drive and going down past Ken and kate's house we saw them running out from their house with their suit cases holding up their thumbs wanting a ride. What a send off. They gave us a super laugh sending us off. Can never out guess those two.

We got to "The In and Out Campground" in Lake City about 1300 and got hooked up nice and comfy. Plan to kill a couple Porterhouse Steaks for supper and just relax for two days here. As you can see from the photo above the Love Bugs are out in force. I guess we always plan to go somewhere in May, as we always get to kill lots of love bugs leaving Florida. Have to get them off the front of your vehicle as soon as possible also, as they eat the paint off the vehicle within hours I think. Hope to get out of town a little earlier when we leave to beat the bugs before they get up.

I went to get something out of the Saturn and realized I had not brought the keys for it. I loaded it up yesterday evening and then put the keys on the hook in the house and never picked them up when we left. Thanks goodness Amy brought her set of keys. We called Brenda and had her send my keys to Aunt Beryl in New Castle. Thank Goodness for Brenda and Dave taking care of our house while we are gone. She was there today working on the garden, and I'm also sure she was working on her Melanoma out by the pool. They plan to be there on weekends while we are gone. Their Summer home??? If it weren't for them and Ken and Kate we would not be able to make these trips..

Well, It's our first day on the road and all is going good so far....
