RV Vacation? Hartford Connecticut

by DONNA
(SYRACUSE, NY)

Our first trip in our Fifth Wheel. After leaving Maine-without bicycles because they became loose and followed us dragging along the highway--they were destroyed (luckily harming no one).

My husband had printed directions to Hartford CT using mapquest. Our destination---Foxwood Resort. Somehow we landed in the middle of an area of Hartford CT where RV's are not often seen.
It was 5 o'clock in the evening---95 degrees---hot as we traveled down main street. This again was not an area that you would see an RV. We were a spectacle--we were lost.

We pulled into a gas station with difficulty--arguing of course. Husband wearing a silly T Shirt---"Men don't ask directions---they make their wives do it"
He puts his credit card in the gas pump. Pumps alot of gas. We leave.

We are then followed by a car full of people from the store. Waving us down---we are scared. Turns out that the card did not register--we had not paid. We were escorted back to the store to settle. The people who don't often see an RV or people as silly as us--escorted us to the interstate.

It was like a Chevy Chase movie!
