Thursday April 20th 2023

It was an OK day to pack up and travel. The humidity was still reasonable even though it had climbed a little from yesterday. As long as you stayed out of the direct sunshine it was a fine day. The temperature peaked in the mid eighties.

I was packed and ready to travel shortly after the noon hour. The traffic even cooperated for the most part. I didn’t get into any stop and go highway travel until I was in the resort corridor southwest of Orlando. It took about twenty minutes to go the last ten miles on Interstate 4. Then I managed to catch all four of the traffic lights on US 192 before I reached my destination.

For the next two weeks I’ll be at Tropical Palms RV Resort in Kissimmee Florida. The resort is located behind the Old Town Entertainment District and the Fun Spot America amusement park. I have stayed here several times before. The last time was last spring about about a week later in April. While I’m here I plan to do some theme park visits and get a few tasks accomplished in the greater Orlando area.

My site is one of the “value” pull through sites. In many ways they are better than the standard back in sites I’ve stayed on during my last two visits. What makes them “value” is the absence of a sewer connection. My holding tanks are big enough that I can go two weeks without dumping. I have been doing that at the state parks all winter long. It turned out to be the right decision in two ways. The value pull through sites are a few dollars cheaper than the standard back in sites and the available standard back in sites I saw on my evening walk were less than desirable. The only down side about this site is my own fault. I parked in just the right spot that a palm tree is blocking all of the signals from getting to my satellite dish. If it becomes a real problem I can always back up the motorhome a foot. That is easier said than done.
