We left Savannah on Sunday, Nov.4th and when we crossed the border into Florida we stopped at a big Welcome Center, where they welcomed us with glasses of Florida Orange or Grapefruit juice. Here we picked up some information on camping. There are quite a few RV parks and State parks along the Coast Hwy, so we turned at Flagger Beach and slowly made our way south along this hwy. But we discovered that the State parks we were interested in were full (you need a reservation) and there weren't any RV parks along that road. So at Ormand Beach we headed back inland to make our way to Orlando. Stayed for a couple of nights at a Walmart in Orange City where we just kicked back and relaxed.
We arrived at Clermont, FL on Tuesday, Nov. 6th. Here we hung out for 3 nights. We joined a small group in the clubhouse for Coffee and Donuts the next morning, then walked with an even smaller group around the park a few times.
We took a wine tour and wine sampling at Lakeridge Winery (Nov 8). They use a grape called Muscadine. I've never heard of it, and the wine they produce tastes NOTHING like the wines we're used to. Quite an unusual flavor.
Our computer crashed while we were here. The motherboard, we were told. So now we have to buy a new one..... an expense we hadn't planned on..
