Finding our way.

Well, we're here.

We found Walgreens, a grocery store, and a Starbucks. The turnpike and freeways are amazingly crowded and I feel somewhat like a new driver out amongst the throng. Oh yes..now I remember California.. it was like this.

We are checked in and credentialled for our stay at the campground, which is a nicely arranged, secure, and fairly scenic park located next to the west side of the Miami Metrozoo. No, there are no noises or smells from the zoo :~). All the pads are paved, and there is a pool, laundry, and plenty of space to explore.
We had to locate and RV parts place and were lucky enough to find a $100 extension cord that would allow us to push 15 feet further on to the pad thus allowing us to hide the car under the front of the fifth-wheel. It is all fitting nicely.
We took a test run up to where we'll be working just to see how long a commute it will be, and how lost we might get. Turns out not to be difficult at all, and we plan a 45 minute commute window for our first day just to be on the safe side. There is one $1.00 toll each way so we got a window-sticker pass that will let us go through the booth without stopping each time (like the C-470 transponder only about 1/4 the size).
We took a couple of exploratory tours, including a drive to the town of Key Largo (arriving just before dusk) and I think it'll be easier to get around here than I'd initially feared. You just have to get the lay of the land first, which will come with time and experience. We did find a Hone Depot, and right across the freeway was Best Buy, but it was about 2 miles to get there because of the way the streets are laid out. Ah, the big city.

All is well, and we are looking forward to showing up at work and digging in to the training process.
