Alison had contracted a mild chest infection after the
cruise so the next few days were spent recuperating and enjoying the sunny
weather with temperatures in the mid-20sC.
31st Dec – New Year Eve
We drove the RV down to Kissimmee to meet up with our
friends, Tony, Nicola, Tash and Tish who were over from the UK for some winter
sun. We parked the RV at a campsite and
then joined the Underwood family to see in the New Year with a delicious roast
dinner (and a bevy or two!).
1st Jan 2015 – New Year Day
 |
| Busy shopping ....... |
Afterwards we all played crazy golf.
2nd Jan – Kissimmee
A quieter day for us and then we met up with Tony and Nicola
for a meal in the evening and then said our farewells to the girls as we were
returning to Clearwater in the morning.
3rd – 17th Jan – Clearwater
We returned to our campsite in Clearwater. Sadly all the Xmas decorations had been taken
down. Many people decorate their rigs
with Xmas lights and the place has looked very festive during our evening
strolls.
Having been surrounded by ‘infectious’ people, Paul finally
succumbed to the chest infection and spent the next 10 days feeling
poorly. Alison took a trip out to see
the Salvador Dali Museum in St Petersburg.
The museum also had a temporary exhibition of some of Picasso’s works. The two Spanish artists were both friends as
well as rivals, despite a 23 year age difference. Dali spent 8 years in the USA during WWII and met and worked with Walt Disney and the Marx Brothers.
The rest of the time was spent enjoying the RV Park’s
activities including another Red Hat Ladies Luncheon. We still have a constant visitor to our home, Oreo making himself very comfortable thank you. 
We paid a visit to the RV Show at the Tampa
Fairgrounds and looked at many new RVs – priced anywhere from $6000 to ‘silly
money’. Not that we were in the market
to buy as we have booked our return to the UK in April and hence have put a FOR
SALE sign in the RV …………..
