Florida RV Trip with Hiker Happy

Hiker Happy, reporting on my Florida RV Trip:

Did I mention that I went to EPCOT? Well that's me visiting with the shark at the Living Seas. I love EPCOT - there are plenty of themed rides and interactive exhibits throughout Future World. I could spend the whole day right in this section.

But I had to get over to the World Showcase too. So many countries, so little time... The films and entertainers in the various countries are just great, and of course I have to sample the regional cuisine.

Here I am getting into the spirit of things over in Morocco.

This past week we went over to the Florida State Fair. It was a great day. There was a small parade, plenty of rides and some bands playing music. We got to see Circus Hollywood, a menagerie of giraffes and llamas, a pedigree dog exhibit, arts & crafts and a lot more. And of course, Jose and I made sure to check out the food booths as part of our gawking and walking around.

I took some time off my feet for a massage and a friendly chat with Skiddles the clown.
If I thought my feet hurt, I can only imagine how his were feeling.

See 'ya later...Hike

I have been spending time over at Lazy Days -- a huge RV dealer near Tampa. You've got to see this place! It has RV's of every size and configuration, from tiny trailers to high-end coaches and everything in between. The lots are full of new and used RV's that you can go into and explore. In fact, I have been walking so much during this part of my Florida RV trip, that I haven't really missed my hiking.

While you are exploring the RV's, there are employees riding around in golf carts that stop and offer you free bottles of water. The place is so big, the sales and service employees use golf carts to get around.

Jill and Jose are members of the Crown Club. This means that while their coach is being serviced, they get a site in the Crown Club section of the Lazy Days property. The membership privileges include complimentary breakfast, lunch and evening appetizers at the Crown Club clubhouse. The food is very tasty and they even serve cocktails, wine or beer with the afternoon meal and evening appetizers.

The clubhouse is nicely decorated, with a dining room, bar and comfortable lounging areas. There is WiFi and even a swimming pool where coach owners can relax while waiting for work to be completed on their coaches.

Not a bad set-up if you ask me!

I had a blast over at the Florida RV Super Show in Tampa. We saw tons of RVs of all kinds and brands. There were big and small motorhomes, "million-dollar plus" luxury coaches, trailers, fifth wheels, pop-ups and gear haulers. Here is a picture of me checking out the airstreams - they have a great look.

In addition to all the RVs, we saw a gigantic sand sculpture, bagpipes, harmonicas and clowns.

We also got a few pictures with some characters around the show - like Teddy Roosevelt, a mime and a very tall cowboy. And I got to meet Radar from the TV show M.A.S.H. - really, Gary Burghoff was there in person! He is quite an amiable guy and he seemed as pleased to meet me as I was to meet him! Check out more of my Florida RV trip pictures in my gallery RV Scrapbook.

We also were very happy that we got to meet John and Peggi McDonald in person -- authors of the popular book, RV Living in the 21st Century.

The SuperShow now has us looking forward to the next FMCA rally in Perry, Georgia!

Until next time, Hike
