A whole two weeks! Time to move on!
This may not make sense but we headed back down south to Naples which is about a 30-45 minute drive. Its starting to get a little bit harder to find RV places that are not booked up. The Snowbirds are all going to be here soon as the Christmas Holidays end.
We have a nice little spot here and once again we even have cable TV!
A couple people doubted that I could get the motor home to turn the angles required to get her into this place but I did it! Once in there is lots of room in our stall.
There are a lot of Canadians down here!
Lots of Canucks are here from Ontario and Quebec and we even met one couple from Kamloops, BC!
Accomplished Cyclists!
You may recall that a while back we got Barb a new Trek Bicycle.
Well after the last bike trip it became quite clear I needed a new bike too. My old Jeep mountain bike wasn't keeping up! Add to that I was a lot younger when I bought that bike! I test drove Barb's bike for a couple of miles and what a difference!
So, after a ton of online research and a couple of test drives I went with the same model (mine is the male version tho). My new bike is a flat black Trek Pure.
I told Barb we have to be careful about buying the same things or soon we will need matching jackets, socks, shirts and runners! :)
Today was the first day (Saturday, Dec 28) for us to Trek out on our new bikes together. On what we thought would be a 6 mile trip it turned out to be closer to 14 miles return after we went to the beaches and Pier here in Naples. We also stopped for a nice lunch.
After a ride of that length I expected I would be exhausted but that new bike made a lot of difference! I was only comatose!
Actually it wasn't all that bad and a quality bike certainly makes all the difference. Accomplished cyclist we aren't, but a good time was had and many more trips will be planned as part of our get fit plan!

| This Pelican was so tame he allowed all the children to pet him! |
We will head down to the same area of the Pier on our bikes on New Years Eve for the fireworks! We are told it is a great show and a great way to celebrate New Years Eve!
Happy New Year!
We wish each and every one of you all the best for a safe New Years Eve and a wonderful 2014!
