We escaped Hurricane Ian

We got a call on Monday that our camper was ready. There are still a few cosmetic things but they can wait. On Tuesday AM we threw our stuff in the truck, checked out of the “villa”and drove to Gainesville to pick up the camper. We had pre-ordered new tires but since we hadn’t been able to make an appointment we had to wait 5 hours for the installation. Then we drove out of Florida to Savannah Ga staying at a Harvest Host. It was the parking lot of a sports bar. We got there about 11:30 pm and went straight to bed. It was a long long day. We saw hundreds of utility trucks going to Fl to help restore power when the winds decrease.

We got up this morning before daybreak and continued up 95N to Vic’s brother Ralph’s house near Ft Bragg in NC. Another long day but we are happy we didn’t have to stay in the Clermont rental for another week in a storm. We have family and friends still in the Tampa area and are very worried about them.

We will be working our way north to NH. We are very excited to finally see the Rider family !!! It’s been a very very long time and I can’t wait!!
