Little hic up along the way but then the cross country begins!

A few days for repairs in Lazy Days. Ok....due to unexpected toilet blow up, yes literally blow up, the stop took us longer than expected. I'm not blaming any one(Tim) but when the toilet blew so did its seal and water leaked onto inverter below! Next morning, standing in the rain, smoke bellowing out of compartment....I'm ready for evacuation with car keys and dogs! What a sight it must have been!
That day and another grand$$ and we're ready to roll!
Cha Ching! ;)


Now here we are, it's May 1st and we're still in Florida! Crossing the state to New Smyrna,Fl. and thinking maybe it's time for a "newer" coach , our plan is to head back to look at one for sale in Apopka Fl. New Smyrna, Sugar Mill Campground a rustic but nice little place to stay....if it wasn't monsoon season! We were surrounded by a mote! geez!!!! But things will get better!....??? 
Sounds like we have a deal!
May4th we head back to where "new" coach is and stayed in a great camp called Wakiva Fals St Park in Sanford Fl. May 6th we find out dealer sold it out from under us! Go Figure! Watch out for that Quality Motorhome Sales in Apopka!! We decided some things work out for the best. We enjoyed the camp one more night. Loved the swimming hole, camp store,big sites, a great kid friendly place!

Let's re-group! We'll head to Yulee Florida to visit with our close friends The Kershner's. A nice visit to help us re boot.
But on our way up 95 north, BANG!! Alarms sounding!! And off to the shoulder we go! Low and behold we blew a rear inside tire that shredded and blew out our radiator hose! Does it ever end???! Roadside service, a flatbed trailer and a few hours later we're towed a mile up the road to a Camping World in St Augustine ,Fl! By end of next day, $3500, repairs done and all new tires it's time to just get to Yulee, settle in and Breath! Damage repairs done and 13 days later it's time. Time to hit the road. With much hesitation on my part at this point, we head west. With a couple emotional break downs I learn to suck it up and start fresh. Poor Tim hadn't been through all of this to quit!
