Jamie,

You lucky dog, we'll be right behind you a week later. We have stayed at Jenning, FL, 1st exit inside FL on I-75, many times. If you get there early enough, the pull through sites facing the Interstate are good, the rest can get a little tight. Your bus has been there numerous times.

Good time to get out of north Georgia, Friday the high is suppose to be 37 and low 6!

See ya in the sunshine....

We're at 4767 Southern Breeze Drive. How long are you down for? Swing by when you get in. Unfortunately we heading home early Sunday morning the 18th and will return to Pelican somewhere around the 28th or 29th. I need to get home for a while to pay for some diesel. The past month has been beautiful, bring your woolies, I understand its going to get a little chilly. You'll like Pelican Lake.

[Gary & Peggy Stevens]

We really loved Pelican Lakes, when we stayed there, which was pre-Prevost. A beautiful resort. It was the slow season when we stayed, so not many people around to talk too.

If you get bored, you might want to check out the New Signature Resort they are building in Naples. www.signaturervresorts.com/naples

We really enjoyed our stay in Indio, CA. at the Signature Motorcoach Resort.

Let us know what you think about it?

Hey Gary, you are so right about Signature Resorts Indo Judy and I are still here. We were going to stay 3-4 days lost track of time were on day 10 oh well

[JIM KELLER]

Jamie, Like Tom said, the pull through sites at Jennings are o.k. but I wouldn't recommend any other spots. The secret is getting there early enough to get a pull through out front.

Another option is the Florida Welcome Center just inside Florida. Lots of room, plenty of lighting and safe. In fact all the Rest Areas in Florida have night time Security Officers.

Tom also taught me about a very well kept secret in South Ga. Exit 62 B. I think is the number. Very easy entrance South bound and just 62 miles from the Fl / Ga line.

Jamie,

Carole and I will be leaving for Naples this Friday 16th January and will be there through Wednesday the following week. We are going to stay at Crystal Lake RV Park - our first time to be in Naples with the bus. We were there three years ago "pre-bus" so didn't look into RV parks.



Wendy & Rick,

We would enjoy meeting you one of the days we are there. Let us know when would be convenient with you all and we'll try to book it.

[garyde]

Good one Harry.

[Jeff Bayley]

Jamie (or any others in our neck of the woods)-

We are about 3 miles off I-75 and have an extra 50 amp hook up if you want to make a pit stop. Any POG'ers always welcome. On the water with boats and stuff if you like that. If your on schedule and don't want to stay over we could meet you off the interstate for lunch anyway if you like. There's the old Cracker Barrell with plenty of parking off St. Road 64 but just down the road from there is a really good Sushi place.

There's a trade show in Orlando we MIGHT try to go to Saturday or Sunday but not sure yet. email me better than PM as I log in irregular and often times don't check PM's. Can ring you or email since your pass through is immediate.

All the best,

Jeff
