Epcot and the Zoo.

I will be brief on this post and will try to catch up with what's turned out to be another busy and exciting 10 days now.
We arrived at Walt Disney's Fort Wilderness and got in a line of RVs three abreat to check-in. It all went well, as is Disney's tyle, and we found our way to the camp site.
Now this turned out to be a pretty close fit... well ... really close. I have some, but not extensive, practice backing trailers and this space was the toughest to date. It took a while, and we ended up using part of the neighbor's space, and (oops) slightly 'modified' a light post but eventually got the rig in place with about an inch to spare against the water stanchion. The space itself was big enough for the rig, but the back-in approach was very limited. Ah well, it's in ... let's go!

We learned our way around the bus, monorail, and boat-taxi system and spent the next three days enjoying Disney's best. We spent most of the time we were there in a very leisurely fashion, not worried about cramming as much as we could into any day. We saw great fireworks, enjoyed wonderful food, and were completely entertained and relaxed when we fell asleep each night. It was a wonderful getaway from the months of pressure and preparation for this trip and the last days of on-the-road stress. I am thankful that we got to be kids for a while again; it fits for us :)

We pulled out on Thursday morning, had a nice road trip along Florida's Turnpike, took a detour to Jon's house to fetch up the Toyota which had just been delivered about an hour earlier (saving us an 80 mile round trip to pick it up) and made it to Miami just after the office to the campground had closed.
After a brief discussion with the campground's security person we backed in to our spot and spent the night satisfied with our whole trip.

It has been an amazing 'ride' since January 27th, 2008 when we first sent in the applications for the new jobs. Since then things have been happening pretty much non-stop, far away from the hope of this blog to be a 'walking speed' experience. But a major step has been taken and we are now removed from life as it once was for us. Our comfort zone and familiarity factors are all gone and we are starting fresh at a new job in a new location. We are looking at each other and pretty much going 'this is awesome ... what have we done??' :)

It was a great trip.
